a -devel package.
[/] MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} =
%{version}-%{release}
[*] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these should be removed in the spec.
[/] 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.
[+] MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages.

details.
[+] MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.
[/] 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.
[/] SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
[+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. See MockTricks for details on how to do this.
[/] SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures.
[+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example.
[+] 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.
[?] 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.
[*] 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.

Still to do:

rpmlint gives mostly false positives. There's one thing I think needs to be fixed:
W: spurious-executable-perm: /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libsqlite3.dll.a

The MinGW Guidelines don't mention anything about -devel subpackage, so I don't know if these rpmlint messages can be ignored:
mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc
mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/sqlite3.h
mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/sqlite3ext.h
mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libsqlite3.dll.a

Finally, packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (according to the regular package guidelines)

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-09 22:29:42 UTC
Thanks for taking a look at this.  I'm going to come back to this
when I've finished getting the base packages bootstrapped in F-10
and F-11 (https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1103).

In the meantime, setting NEEDINFO of me.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-16 16:03:54 UTC
rpmlint isn't hugely useful for mingw packages at the moment.
Upstream rpmlint refused to make changes to accomodate the
packaging guidelines, but hopefully we can add some custom
rules at some point in the future.

The updated package here now has the following rpmlint
warnings:

mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc
mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/sqlite3.h
mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/sqlite3ext.h
mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libsqlite3.dll.a

These are fine.  All mingw packages are development
packages, so there is no -devel subpackage.

mingw32-sqlite.noarch: E: script-without-shebang /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libsqlite3.la

Note that we currently include *.la files in mingw
packages, because libtool (probably) requires them
for linking.

mingw32-sqlite.noarch: E: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libsqlite3.dll.a

This is OK because the file in question contains Windows
binary stubs - ie. arch-independent from the p.o.v. of
Fedora.

mingw32-sqlite.noarch: W: non-standard-dir-in-usr i686-pc-mingw32

And again, this is OK, mandated by GCC and the packaging
guidelines.

I've fixed the spurious executable permission, and added
'Requires: pkgconfig' which is needed.

Spec URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/mingw32-sqlite.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/mingw32-sqlite-3.6.6.2-1.fc10.src.rpm

* Tue Dec 16 2008 Richard Jones <rjones> - 3.6.6.2-1
- New upstream release (to match Fedora native), 3.6.6.2.
- Replace patches with ones from native.
- Rebase -no-undefined patch.
- Remove spurious +x permissions on libsqlite3.dll.a.
- Requires pkgconfig.

Comment 4 Erik van Pienbroek 2008-12-17 22:50:21 UTC
Too bad upstream rpmlint refuses to accept patches for MinGW support. Maybe it is an idea to create a list of rpmlint failures which can be ignored for MinGW and put it on the MinGW guidelines page?

Anyway, this package looks good enough for inclusion in Fedora:

====================================================

 The package mingw32-sqlite is APPROVED by epienbro

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-18 10:33:05 UTC
Thanks for looking at this.

These are the bugs related to the rpmlint issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product=Fedora&component=rpmlint&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=mingw&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=MODIFIED&bug_status=ON_DEV&bug_status=ON_QA&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=FAILS_QA&bug_status=RELEASE_PENDING&bug_status=POST&bug_status=CLOSED

We're waiting for rpmlint upstream to add a feature which
will allow us to mask off certain bugs for certain groups
of packages.

cvs done.

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-21 11:28:42 UTC
Thanks Erik and Kevin for this.

I've done the import, but I won't be able to build it until
the two dependencies get imported.  So I'll leave this
bug open for the time being.
