Spec URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2059/netbeans-platform8.spec SRPM URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2060/netbeans-platform8-6.1-1.fc10.src.rpm Description: NetBeans Platform is a framework for development of Rich Client Swing Applications. It contains powerful module system and a set of modules providing various functionalities needed for simplification of development of modular desktop applications. This package is a part of the NetBeans IDE 6.1 distribution.
Hello Victor! We already have opened Review Request for NetBeans Platform 6.0, surprisingly named as libnb-platform7 - does your Review Request obsolete this one (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439265 ) ? Frankly speaking, I'm a bit of confused - NetBeans Platform 6.0 called as libnb-platform7 and NetBeans Platform 6.1.1 called as netbeans-platform8.
As for me, I personally prefer your variant (e.g. netbeans-platform rather than libnb-platform).
Hello Peter! API of the platform7 isn't compatible with API of the platform8. A number inside name of the component provides ability to have several versions of the components in the host system. Both distributions of the NetBeans 6.0 and 6.0.1 rely on platform7, but distribution of the NetBeans 6.1 relies on the next version, i.e. platform8. Therefore, the Review Request https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439265 is not obsolete. I chose netbeans-platform rather than libnb-platform to have compliance with Fedora Naming Guidelines. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28General.29 Actually, platform can be considered an "addon" or a "child" of the NetBeans. Nevertheless, the netbeans-platform8.spec defines the clause Provides: libnb-platform8 to resolve situation if an RPM with old name from another distribution has been installed.
This is my first contribution so I need a sponsor please.

Hey Victor, I started to review this, but it fails to build in Mock(1). Here's a link to the build & root logs: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=765403&name=build.log http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=765403&name=root.log If I get some free time later today, I'll try to look into what is causing it to fail.

Probably the Eclipse Java Compiler is used instead of the Java compiler provided by OpenJDK?
Hi Brian, Yes, my assumption is right. I can reproduce the error mentioned by you after switching the javac command to the Eclipse Java Compiler on my Fedora 9 platform by means of the commands: ========================== # alternatives --config javac There are 2 programs which provide 'javac'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/javac 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj/bin/javac Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2 # javac -version Eclipse Java Compiler 0.793_R33x, 3.3.2, Copyright IBM Corp 2000, 2008. All rights reserved. ========================== And vice versa, I see the Ant message "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" after switching back to the reference implementation of the Java Compiler. It seems the Fedora platform uses the Eclipse Java Compiler by default. I guess, platform should use a reference implementation by default if it is accessible on that platform and all other implementations should be considered as alternatives of it, isn't it?
The second release is prepared for review. Spec URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2059/netbeans-platform8.spec SRPM URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2127/netbeans-platform8-6.1-2.fc10.src.rpm Changes: - Suppress rpmlint warnings about hidden .noautoupdate files - Appropriate values of Group Tags are chosen from the official list - Avoid dangling symlinks after %%install rpmlint shows no errors against both SRPM and RPMs. It also shows no warnings against SRPM, but it shows some warnings against RPMs: === netbeans-platform8-6.1-2.fc10.noarch.rpm ======================== netbeans-platform8.noarch: W: dangerous-command-in-%post ln netbeans-platform8.noarch: W: dangerous-command-in-%preun rm netbeans-platform8.noarch: W: class-path-in-manifest /usr/share/netbeans/platform8/modules/org-netbeans-libs-jna.jar netbeans-platform8.noarch: W: class-path-in-manifest /usr/share/netbeans/platform8/modules/org-netbeans-libs-jsr223.jar netbeans-platform8.noarch: W: class-path-in-manifest /usr/share/netbeans/platform8/modules/org-netbeans-modules-javahelp.jar netbeans-platform8.noarch: W: class-path-in-manifest /usr/share/netbeans/platform8/modules/org-netbeans-modules-autoupdate-services.jar netbeans-platform8.noarch: W: class-path-in-manifest /usr/share/netbeans/platform8/modules/org-jdesktop-layout.jar 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 7 warnings. === netbeans-platform8-harness-6.1-2.fc10.noarch.rpm ================ netbeans-platform8-harness.noarch: W: dangerous-command-in-%post ln netbeans-platform8-harness.noarch: W: dangerous-command-in-%preun rm 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings. ===================================================================== All 9 warnings listed above are not issues, because: * All dangerous ln and rm commands are used to establish symlinks between the system and external JARs. There are guarantees that the symlinks won't be dangling, because all JARs are provided by the packages listed under the "Requires" tags. All ln and complementary rm commands have relations to files located only inside of /usr/share/netbeans/platform8 and /usr/share/netbeans/harness directories. * All warnings class-path-in-manifest don't have any sense for the package due to OpenJDK 6, i.e minimal used Java version is 6.0.
The third release is prepared for review. Spec URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2059/netbeans-platform8.spec SRPM URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2165/netbeans-platform8-6.1-3.fc10.src.rpm Changes: - The %%{buildroot} is used everywhere instead of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT - The java, java-devel and jpackage-utils requirenments are used The rpmlint shows no errors and no warnings against SRPM. It also shows no errors against all RPMs. A list of warnings against all RPMs is the same as for the Release 2. All the warnings was explained in the comment #9 . Succesful koji build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=806654 It is strange for me why if I strongly follow the Fedora guidelines then I don't see any errors :-)

The output should be posted in the review. See comments above - MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines . ok - MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption on Package Naming Guidelines . ok - MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines . ok - MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines . ok - MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. ok - MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc. ok - MUST: The spec file must be written in American English. ok - MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. If the reviewer is unable to read the spec file, it will be impossible to perform a review. Fedora is not the place for entries into the Obfuscated Code Contest (http://www.ioccc.org/). ok - MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this. ok - MUST: The package must successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one supported architecture. ok - MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in ExcludeArch. ok - MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense. ok - MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden. ok - MUST: Every binary RPM package which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. n/a - MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker. n/a XXXX MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. Refer to the Guidelines for examples. see rpmlint comments - MUST: A package must not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing. ok XXXX MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a %defattr(...) line. Fix permissions on line 245: %defattr(-,root,root) to %defattr(-,root,root,-) - MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} ( or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). ok - MUST: Each package must consistently use macros, as described in the macros section of Packaging Guidelines . ok - MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. This is described in detail in the code vs. content section of Packaging Guidelines . ok - MUST: Large documentation files should go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity) - MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present. ok - MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. n/a - MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. n/a - MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for directory ownership and usability). n/a - MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package. n/a - MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} n/a - MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these should be removed in the spec. n/a - MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the %install section. This is described in detail in the desktop files section of the Packaging Guidelines . If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation. n/a - MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. ok - MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} ( or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). See Prepping BuildRoot For %install for details. ok - MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. ok SHOULD Items: - SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it. ok - SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. ok - SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. See MockTricks for details on how to do this. ok - SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures. ok - SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example. ok - SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. - SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. n/a - SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. n/a - SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file instead of the file itself. Please see File Dependencies in the Guidelines for further information. n/a
The next release is prepared for review. Spec URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2059/netbeans-platform8.spec SRPM URL: http://nbi.netbeans.org/files/documents/210/2173/netbeans-platform8-6.1-4.fc10.src.rpm Changes (In reply to comment #11): > Can the file linking be moved to %build or %install?

The linking to the external JARs is moved to the %%install script from the %%post scripts. I agree that such solution will decrease risks of creating files which are unowned by the package, but it will also increase number of the rpmlint warnings (dangling-symlink). Also, regardless of the fact that the rpmlint shows the symlink-should-be-relative warnings I intentionally use absolute links to the external JARs, because I am sure that in this case the links to the external components should not depend on locations of the symlinks in the package directory tree. So, now the rpmlint shows the following warnings against RPMs: * 14 warnings against netbeans-platform8-6.1-4.fc10.noarch.rpm, including: - 4 "dangling-symlink" and 4 "symlink-should-be-relative" for all 4 external JARs - 1 "dangerous-command-in-%preun rm" for the noautoupdate file - 5 "class-path-in-manifest" for 5 NetBeans JARs that use such method * 3 warnings against netbeans-platform8-harness-6.1-4.fc10.noarch.rpm, including: - 1 "dangling-symlink" and 1 "symlink-should-be-relative" for 1 external JAR - 1 "dangerous-command-in-%preun rm" for the noautoupdate file > XXXX MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly.
