Source code examples for RHM

Comment 1 Nuno Santos 2008-09-11 20:25:43 UTC
rhm-examples-0.2.656926-6.fc9.src.rpm

MUST:
OK * package is named appropriately
OK - match upstream tarball or project name
OK - try to match previous incarnations in other distributions/packagers for consistency
OK - specfile should be %{name}.spec
OK - non-numeric characters should only be used in Release (ie. cvs or
   something)
NA - for non-numerics (pre-release, CVS snapshots, etc.), see
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PackageRelease
NA - if case sensitivity is requested by upstream or you feel it should be
   not just lowercase, do so; otherwise, use all lower case for the name
OK * is it legal for Fedora to distribute this?
 - OSI-approved
 - not a kernel module
 - not shareware
 - is it covered by patents?
 - it *probably* shouldn't be an emulator
 - no binary firmware
OK * license field matches the actual license.
OK * license is open source-compatible.
OK - use acronyms for licences where common
OK * specfile name matches %{name}

NO * verify source and patches (md5sum matches upstream, know what the patches do)
 - if upstream doesn't release source drops, put *clear* instructions on
   how to generate the the source drop; ie. 
  # svn export blah/tag blah
  # tar cjf blah-version-src.tar.bz2 blah

- paths for checkout are incorrect, missing a "qpid" after "trunk"

OK * skim the summary and description for typos, etc.
OK * correct buildroot
 - should be:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
OK * if %{?dist} is used, it should be in that form (note the ? and %locations)
OK * license text included in package and marked with %doc
NA * keep old changelog entries; use judgement when removing (too old? useless?)
OK * packages meets FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)
OK * rpmlint on <this package>.srpm gives no output
 - justify warnings if you think they shouldn't be there

$rpmlint /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/result/rhm-examples-0.2.656926-6.fc10.src.rpm 
rhm-examples.src: W: invalid-license LGPL

 (LGPL is an acceptable license)

OK * changelog should be in one of these formats:
  * Fri Jun 23 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating> - 0.6-4
  - And fix the link syntax. [...]
OK * Packager tag should not be used
OK * Vendor tag should not be used
OK * use License and not Copyright 
OK * Summary tag should not end in a period
NA * if possible, replace PreReq with Requires(pre) and/or Requires(post)
OK * specfile is legible
 - this is largely subjective; use your judgement
OK * package successfully compiles and builds on at least x86
OK * BuildRequires are proper
 - builds in mock will flush out problems here
OK * summary should be a short and concise description of the package
OK * make sure lines are <= 80 characters
OK * specfile written in American English
NA * make a -doc sub-package if necessary
NA * packages including libraries should exclude static libraries if possible
OK * don't use rpath
NA * config files should usually be marked with %config(noreplace)
NA * GUI apps should contain .desktop files
NA * should the package contain a -devel sub-package?
OK * use macros appropriately and consistently
OK * don't use %makeinstall
NA * locale data handling correct (find_lang)
OK * consider using cp -p to preserve timestamps
NA * split Requires(pre,post) into two separate lines
OK * package should probably not be relocatable
OK * package contains code
OK * package should own all directories and files
OK * there should be no %files duplicates
OK * file permissions should be okay; %defattrs should be present
OK * %clean should be present
OK * %doc files should not affect runtime
NA * if it is a web apps, it should be in /usr/share/%{name} and *not* /var/www
OK * verify the final provides and requires of the binary RPMs
NO * run rpmlint on the binary RPMs

- there are a number of warnings, such as spurious-executable-perm and doc-file-dependency

SHOULD:
OK * package should include license text in the package and mark it with %doc
OK * package should build on i386
OK * package should build in mock

Comment 2 Ted Ross 2008-09-11 20:39:54 UTC
The following link references a package that addresses the above issues.
It is rebased to same version as the qpidc package.

Hi Ted,
It seems you are not in the packager group, You will need to be sponsored.
I am setting the sponsor flag, I apologize if i am wrong.

Comment 6 Kevin Fenzi 2008-09-21 00:37:55 UTC
Any news here? Feel free to email or catch me on irc if you need any assistance with the process of being sponsored. 

I am clearing the cvs flag here, feel free to reset it when you are ready.

The acceptable LGPL license tags for fedora are available in:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing
and summarized:
LGPLv2+
LGPLv2
LGPLv2 with exceptions
LGPLv2+
LGPLv2+ with exceptions
LGPLv3
LGPLv3 with exceptions
LGPLv3+
LGPLv3+ with exceptions
so if the above guideline is correct, LGPL is not a suitable value for this tag. There is some notes that describe what the tag should be.
