Comment 1 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2008-10-12 16:11:32 UTC
Joe, 

Would it also be possible to apply the following changes to the specfile?

 * change the source subversion tarball to the bz2 version
   (Source0:  .gz --> .bz2)

 * append "%{?dist}" to the Release line
   (e.g.:   Release: 1.%{?dist})

/jpo

Comment 2 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2008-10-12 16:22:09 UTC
Joe,

I believe the Source4 (the emacs file) can be dropped as it is now included in the subversion tarball:

  $ tar tzf subversion-1.5.3.tar.gz | grep psvn
  subversion-1.5.3/contrib/client-side/emacs/psvn.el

Note: It also appears to be a more recent copy.

/jpo

Comment 3 Joe Orton 2008-10-13 20:24:38 UTC
Thanks for the report & feedback - 1.5.3 update now in Raw Hide - otherwise:

1) .gz vs .bz2 seems like a bikeshed; not mandated by the packaging standards AFAIK?
2) dist I prefer without for devel; not mandated by the packaging guidelines
3) psvn.el is shipped separately since the copy in the tarball is rarely up to date; though that is true of the shipped copy too.  I updated it, but if you want to help out with keeping it up-to-date, that would be great!

Thanks for the rawhide update.

I considered this a good engineering practice - using the .bz2 tarball you have
the same results using less disk space (25% in this case) and less bandwidth.

> 2) dist I prefer without for devel; not mandated by the packaging guidelines

It helps people like me tracking specfiles changes when we test/rebuild rawhide packages in older fedora distros.

  * fixed: merging of paths containing spaces (r33641, -44)

Comment 6 Joe Orton 2008-10-27 09:21:46 UTC
1.5.4 is on its way to Raw Hide.

Thanks for the update!

There is a rpath problem in 64bit systems.  The SRPM rebuild fails in x86_64
systems with rpmdevtools installed and the /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths active:
----------
...
ERROR   0001: file '/usr/bin/svndumpfilter' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib64' in [/usr/lib64]
ERROR   0001: file '/usr/bin/svnserve' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib64' in [/usr/lib64]
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hylxe6 (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hylxe6 (%install)

Comment 8 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2008-10-28 01:23:13 UTC
A couple of questions about the apr version requirements:

  From the specfile:
  ---------
  ...
  BuildRequires: apr-devel >= 0.9.7, apr-util-devel >= 0.9.7
  ...
  Requires: apr >= 1.3.0
  ...
  ---------

Any particular reason for the version differences between the build requirement
and the requirement (0.9.7 vs 1.3.0) ?  

And why the 1.3.0 requirement?  At the end of the subversion 1.5 release notes
(http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html) they only mention APR 1.x.

Comment 9 Joe Orton 2008-10-28 09:20:10 UTC
Jose - could you file new bugs about new problems, and send general questions to fedora-devel?  Helps me to manage my bugspam ;)

(The 1.3.0 is there because once built against 1.3.0, symbols from 1.3.0 are required, so the BRs should be bumped up really too)
