Description Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-20 12:33:22 UTC
Spec URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-preludeml.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-preludeml-0.1-0.1.20080922.fc11.src.rpm
Description: 
Prelude.ml is a collection of utility functions for OCaml programs.
Of particular interest are high level parallel combinators, which make
multicore parallelization of OCaml programs easy.

(Note that despite the "0.1" version number, this package is very
mature - it just doesn't have any upstream releases).

Koji scratch build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1011869

rpmlint is silent.

Just a tiny change to the META file.

Parallel mandlebrot set

An auto-parallelizing mandlebrot set program, which
uses this library.

Adapted from:
http://fhtr.blogspot.com/2008/08/preludeml-some-parallel-combinators.html

Compile using:
  ocamlfind opt -package preludeml -linkpkg mandlebrot.ml -o mandlebrot

Run using:
  ./mandlebrot 5000 test.pgm
  eog test.pgm
(It will auto-detect the number of cores in your system and spread
the work across them.)

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2008-12-21 20:47:12 UTC
You should prod upstream to get licensing information into all of the source files, not just the top level one.

There is no need to extract the license text like that.  In fact, my understanding is that you shouldn't do so, especially since you insist on needlessly duplicating this generated license file between the two subpackages.  I'll ask the licensing experts for clarification.

* source files match upstream (compared manually).
* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.
* description is OK.
* dist tag is present.
* build root is OK.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
* BuildRequires are proper.
* %clean is present.
* package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64).
* package installs properly.
* rpmlint is silent.
* final provides and requires are sane:

O license file is duplicated; it should not be, but this is not a blocker.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -doc subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* .cma, .cmi, .so, .so.owner, META files in the main package.
* .a, .cmxa, .cmx and .mli files are in the -devel subpackage.
* .cmo and .ml files not included
* this is a syntax extension, so the .o file os OK in the main package.

Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-21 22:08:11 UTC
Do you think I should just not add the src/* files to the package?
They are not (currently) necessary to build anyway.  In fact my personal
opinion is that the split is ill-advised.

I'll raise the issue of licensing upstream now anyway.

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-22 14:55:43 UTC
Upstream have added a LICENSE file and also added licensing
info to all of the src/* files.

I'm just starting a 2 week vacation, so I will have only irregular
contact until the beginning of January.

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2008-12-22 14:56:24 UTC
Set to NEEDINFO of me, to look at when I get back.

Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-01-13 13:33:39 UTC
Here's an updated version which includes the license
information and bumps everything to the latest version:

Spec URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-preludeml.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-preludeml-0.1-0.4.20090113.fc11.src.rpm
* Tue Jan 13 2009 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 0.1-0.4.20090113
- New upstream version 20090113, resolving licensing issues.
- Use omake to build.
- Added a check section to run automated tests.

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-01-13 14:30:36 UTC
An even more updated version that runs the automated
tests and builds in Koji:

Spec URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-preludeml.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-preludeml-0.1-0.10.20090113.fc11.src.rpm
* Tue Jan 13 2009 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 0.1-0.10.20090113
- Tests require ounit & ruby.

Koji scratch build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1049598

Comment 9 Jason Tibbitts 2009-01-14 01:35:48 UTC
OK, this one still builds for me, and I guess I'm lucky to be building on the one platform where the tests pass, because I get:
  Ran: 333 tests in: 0.72 seconds.
  OK

I don't see anything in particular to complain about, so:

APPROVED

Comment 10 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-01-14 09:14:22 UTC

Yes, the tests only work on x86-64.

1/333 fails on 32 bit platforms, and lots of things fail on ppc64.
I'm going to raise the issue with upstream.

Thanks for your patience looking at this package.
