Spec URL: http://alexlan.fedorapeople.org/reviews/openoffice-ooolatex.spec

Description: 
This program allows the editing, display and saving of LaTeX equations inside
OpenOffice.org Writer and Impress documents

Note: there is currently a bug (bug 440650) in the F-8 version of unopkg in openoffice.org currently in updates-testing that prevents clean installation on F-8.  However, it should work on rawhide.

Comment 1 Alex Lancaster 2008-04-05 10:36:15 UTC
Also with the new texlive package in rawhide/F-9:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureTexLive

I'm not sure what the canonical requires for latex should be, so I used file
level requires, e.g.

Requires: /usr/bin/latex

it would be nice if there were Requires that would work the same on both rawhide
and on F-7 & F-8.

Comment 2 Alex Lancaster 2008-04-05 10:37:33 UTC
Cc'ing Caolan as the most experienced OOo extension packager for feedback.

Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2008-04-05 13:22:53 UTC
FWIW, you could probably use 
echo yes | unopkg add --shared --link %{ooolatexext} || :
instead of patching out the "do you agree to GPL" foo to reduce the patch.

Maybe it'd be worth just unpacking it and applying the patch in %prep and doing
a standard copy of that tree in %install rather than unpacking %{SOURCE0} in
%install. Just to try and look as "normal" as possible.

Good idea, updated:

* Sun Apr  6 2008 Alex Lancaster - 4.0.0-0.beta2.2
- Requires -draw component to work and -writer or -impress to be useful.  
- Apply patch and install in more conventional way.  
- Supply "yes" to license script to avoid needing to patch description.xml

Comment 6 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-04-10 02:30:23 UTC
Two items of concern:
1. pkg-licence/gpl_GB.txt should be in %doc. Please fix before committing.
2. Your release version isn't quite right. It should be:
Release: 0.2.beta2%{?dist}

Look closely at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#head-d97a3f40b6dd9d2288206ac9bd8f1bf9b791b22a

Good:

- rpmlint checks return nothing
- package meets naming guidelines (except for Release)
- package meets packaging guidelines (OpenOffice.orgExtensions)
- license (GPLv2+) OK, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream (928230a58c4d5678e579c78ea6ab6f0bf226d08b)
- package compiles on devel (x86_64)
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all directories that it creates
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file 

Show me a spec with those items fixed, and I'll approve.

Comment 8 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-04-10 03:31:19 UTC
Perhaps you would like to upload the new spec file? The one there is not fixed. ;)

Umm, did you refresh the browser?  I didn't regenerate the SRPM.

Ah sorry, I posted the wrong link, it should have been:

Comment 11 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-04-10 12:05:56 UTC
Looks good. APPROVED.

Don't forget to drop that comment about "unzipping", since you're not. ;)

This package builds on EL6 and I'd like to see it in EPEL.  Alex, are you interested or shall I maintain it?

Please do go ahead.  Feel free to make me co-maintainer.  Also are you interested in being the primary maintainer in Fedora as well?  I haven't had time to update it of late and the package may need some love.

Package Change Request
======================
Package Name: openoffice.org-ooolatex

InitialCC: 

I'm not interesting in being a primary for Fedora, but I'll add myself.  It looks like upstream may be completely dead unfortunately, so I don't think there is much to update.

Thanks.

Yes, I thought that might be the case.  I was thinking that at least we might need to keep it building against LibreOffice if the extension API changes or somesuch.
