Description:

This is the client for MirrorManager, the Fedora mirror management system.
The configuration file should be edited prior to using this package.  For
more information, For further information, please see:

I need a sponsor :).  I'm also copying Matt Domsch on this request, since he is the upstream author.

A little about me:  I'm currently heading up the bug triage team within Fedora, and noticed that this wasn't packaged, but probably should be.  Let me know if further information is required.

Comment 1 Jon Stanley 2008-05-04 05:35:24 UTC
One thing that I'm not sure about in this package is the version number.  Matt,
can you help me out here?  Is there some canonical "released version" of MM that
I can base the version number off of?

Comment 4 Jeroen van Meeuwen 2008-05-04 14:41:04 UTC
Congratulations ;-) Time to make CVS request and get sponsored

Comment 5 Ralf Corsepius 2008-05-04 16:22:06 UTC
MUSTFIX: Package uses hardcoded /usr/sbin, /etc. It should use %_sbindir,
%_sysconfdir.


Comment 6 Matt Domsch 2008-05-04 18:04:48 UTC
Jon, thanks for doing this.

I haven't made release tarballs of MirrorManager, as so far the only running
instance of it has been in Fedora Infrastructure.  So, just add instructions for
pulling it from git, as of a particular commit.

As for package name, instead of report-mirror, how would 
mirrormanager-report-mirror sound?  Ideally, there would be 3 subpackages built
from a single source checkout:  mirrormanager; mirrormanager-mirrorlist-server;
mirrormanager-report-mirror.  But yes it'll make for a more involved spec file.


Comment 7 Jon Stanley 2008-05-04 18:45:34 UTC
Yeah, I wanted to get this one out the door first, since packaging the server is
going to probably be a bit more complex, since there are varying licenses for
various pieces, and I'm not exactly sure what Apache configuration might be
required to make it functional.  Also, as you said, the only installation is in
Fedora Infrastructure right now, and this piece is usable beyond that.

I'll put it on the TODO list to package the whole thing, and maybe we'll get
some installations outside of infrastructure!  In the meantime, I'll change the
name of the package.  The thinking for this name was that
mirrormanager-report-mirror could obsolete it when it's ready. but come to think
of it, a newer NVR should take care of that, even if the SRPM is different. 

Comment 8 Matt Domsch 2008-05-04 20:57:07 UTC
fair enough.

Comment 9 Jon Stanley 2008-05-06 17:02:11 UTC
Removing need sponsor blocker since I've been sponsored.  This review though is
going to be obsolete, since my sponsor mentioned that it's going to be hard to
fix this mess if this gets in and then I package the entirety of MM.  I'll
package the rest this weekend or so if I have time.

Comment 10 Jon Stanley 2008-05-15 15:31:35 UTC
I haven't had time to package the rest of MM (it's going to require some patches
to make it comply to the TurboGears packaging standard).  I just noticed someone
else CC'ed themselves to this review.  Would it be an issue to stub out an MM
package, and just have the 'client' subpackage for now?  The newer package would
have a later NVR, wouldn't have to dead.package and block this one, and all in
all a cleaner solution.

Or must the entire thing be packaged at once?

That's up to you. Does the client without a server make any sense?

This won't fly, if the "client" and the "server" share the same upstream source
tarball (and thus src.rpm-package-name). 

In this case, it's much easier to build everything from this one tarball and to
gradually add subpackages being built from a common tarball "when they are
ready". ... or (and preferred) resubmit your package when you have "finished
packaging" and consider it "done" ... It's what almost all other contributors do.

> Or must the entire thing be packaged at once?
That's the preferred way. The real decision however is tied to 
"upstream", whether they ship one single tarball or several tarballs.


Comment 12 Matt Domsch 2008-09-26 20:13:27 UTC
as upstream maintainer, I have now packaged this into tarballs and prepared it a spec for it, as one SRPM (mirrormanager) with two RPMs (mirrormanager - the server side, and mirrormanager-client - the downstream mirror side).

http://domsch.com/linux/fedora/mirrormanager has the SPEC and SRPM for review.

Jon and/or Jeroen, would you mind reviewing this?

Thanks,
Matt

Comment 13 manuel wolfshant 2008-09-27 18:09:43 UTC
Source URL seems incorrect:
https://fedorahosted.org/releases/m/i/mirrormanager/mirrormanager-1.2.2.tar.bz2 gives:
      The requested URL /releases/m/i/mirrormanager/mirrormanager-1.2.2.tar.bz2 was not found on this server.
Which is no surprise, since https://fedorahosted.org/releases/m/i/mirrormanager/ is empty

Is  /usr/share/mirrormanager/mirrors/mirrors really the intended path ? It looks a bit odd.

Comment 14 Matt Domsch 2008-09-27 18:57:33 UTC
wolfy: thanks for the review.  I'll get the tarball posted soon; 1.2.2 was buggy and useless, so I didn't post the tarball.

As for the mirrors/mirrors part, yes, that is intentional, though I understand it looks odd.  It stems from the very earliest days of the code, before it was named mirrormanager.

Comment 15 Matt Domsch 2008-09-29 04:35:12 UTC
I've tagged a version 1.2.3 and uploaded a new spec and the tarball to the Source0 URL as one would expect.  I have rearranged the upstream source tree to eliminate the whole mirrors/mirrors part of the directory name, and added a few Requires that some scripts brought to light.

Thanks,
Matt

Comment 16 manuel wolfshant 2008-09-30 12:58:43 UTC
I've done a local mock build and except of %Source0 (which once again does not match the content of https://fedorahosted.org/releases/m/i --- there is an extra mirrormanager/ folder in the way ) everything seems fine.
If Jon does not have the time for a review and/or you want a fast forward, let me know.

Comment 17 Jon Stanley 2008-09-30 14:01:28 UTC
Fast forward sounds good to me :). Source0 in the 1.2.2 spec (the last one that I looked at) did have m/i/mirrormanager in it.

Comment 18 manuel wolfshant 2008-09-30 14:18:30 UTC
ref #17: indeed, I missed a %{name} in the link

Comment 19 Matt Domsch 2008-09-30 14:29:55 UTC
Sweet.  Jon, I would sponsor you, but as I rewrote the whole spec from scratch here myself, I haven't reviewed any of your work. :-)

Jon, do you want to maintain this package in Fedora, or should I?

Thanks,
Matt

Comment 20 Jon Stanley 2008-09-30 18:10:36 UTC
No worries on the sponsorship, I've been sponsored for awhile now for other packages I've done :)

cvs done.

Comment 22 Paul Howarth 2008-10-02 15:38:11 UTC
What's the point of "%define debug_package %{nil}" in this package?

noarch packages don't generate debuginfo by default...
