Description John McLean 2008-07-10 19:05:44 UTC
Spec URL: http://jesusfreak91.googlepages.com/nxt_python.spec
SRPM URL: http://jesusfreak91.googlepages.com/nxt_python-0.7-1.fc9.src.rpm
Description: nxt_python is a package for controlling a LEGO NXT robot using the python programming language.  It can communicate with the robot via either bluetooth or usb (usb requires adding the user to the group 'lego').

Comment 1 manuel wolfshant 2008-07-29 22:59:29 UTC
Hum .. source0 seems plain wrong. Why not using the one from the project's site,
http://home.comcast.net/~dplau/nxt_python/download/nxt_python-0.7.tar.gz ? Not
to mention that the file bundled in the src.rpm is different than the one
specified now in %source.

python as a BR is redundant, python-devel will bring it in.

Creating a specific group should follow the guidelines available at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/UsersAndGroups. Mind the "We never
remove users or groups created by packages." line. rpmlint also complains about
that (nxt_python.noarch: W: dangerous-command-in-%postun groupdel)

Otherwise things seem pretty OK.

Comment 2 John McLean 2008-07-30 13:32:54 UTC
Those problems should now be fixed, and the spec and srpm files updated.

Comment 3 manuel wolfshant 2008-07-30 14:04:46 UTC
Please increment the release tag each time you modify the spec, add an entry to
the changelog briefly describing the modifications and post the new URLs over here.

The changelog is mandatory for packages already in CVS but following the same
rule while the package is submitted for review helps both in tracking
modifications over time as well as developing a habit.


Comment 4 John McLean 2008-07-30 14:33:16 UTC
Alright, I've done that.  I should have remembered in the first place, but it's
a habit I'm still working on forming.

Comment 5 Mamoru TASAKA 2008-08-07 14:15:35 UTC
Well, for 0.7-2:

* SourceURL
  - Please use %name, %version macros. With using these macros
    perhaps you won't have to modify SourceURL when the version is
    upgraded.

* %PATCH0
  - I guess there is no needed to rename "COPYING" to "LICENSE".
    Please use COPYING file as it is.

* Requires
  - Please check if all needed rpms are correctly added to Requires.
    At least "pygtk2" seems needed for Requires as %_bindir/nxt_python
    contains:
-----------------------------------------------------------
    16  import cStringIO
    17  import gtk
    18  import os.path
-----------------------------------------------------------
    ! Note
      I usually check python module related Requires like below:
-----------------------------------------------------------
$ grep -h 'import ' `rpm -ql nxt_python | grep -v /usr/share/doc` | sort | uniq
-----------------------------------------------------------

* Udev rule config file
  - It seems that usually udev rule config files are not marked as
    (noreplace) (even if rpmlint warns about it)

Comment 6 John McLean 2008-08-07 14:59:48 UTC
Alright, those should be fixed.  

new srpm: http://jesusfreak91.googlepages.com/nxt_python-0.7-3.fc9.src.rpm

Comment 7 Mamoru TASAKA 2008-08-07 15:43:04 UTC
