Description:
The Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for
building Grid systems and applications. It is being developed by the

potential of grids for their cause.

The globus-xio package contains:
Globus XIO Framework

BuildRequires:	grid-packaging-tools
BuildRequires:	globus-common-devel >= 4
BuildRequires:	globus-core-devel >= 4

Based on the globus toolkit 4.2.1 release.

Sorry about that. It seems I copied the last version of the SRPM to the server with the wrong name after the last update - so the previous one was not overwritten as I intended. The difference between the versions was that I added globus-common as a Requires so that the package Requires a package that owns the direcories where it puts its files. I have updated the SRPM with the intended one. The specfile was the intended one.

I just removed the license file as doc in this version since a reviewer of a different package strongly argued that it shouldn't be there since it is not part of the source tree for this package (see bug 467235 comment 3). I really need all the packages to be the same, otherwise it is not maintainable. If you strongly disagree with the previous reviewer, I will try to do some arbitration.

> ! The package contains the license file

See above

> ! Packages containing pkgconfig (.pc) files need 'Requires: pkgconfig'

globus-xio-devel Requires globus-core, which Requires pkgconfig.

Comment 6 Thomas Sailer 2009-04-18 20:44:47 UTC
I understand that you want to keep the packages the same, this is a good thing.

However, omitting the license file makes me nervous. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines states that the license file _must_ be included if the source archive contains one. The source archive downloaded from upstream contains a license file - just not in the directory that gets repackaged. I find Orcan Ogetbil's argument that the license file needs to be in the repackaged subdirectory quite unsustainable. IANAL but I think you're on pretty thin ice here.

Ok about the rest.

Comment 7 Mattias Ellert 2009-04-21 14:24:05 UTC
The conclusion of the thread on the fedora-packaging mailing list initiated in order to resolve the issue

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2009-April/msg00042.html

was that the license file must be part of the package. The thread also concluded that the license file must be copied into and made part of the extracted tarfile and not be a separate source file.

The package has been updated accordingly (including adding the cp command to the source generation description comment):

Comment 8 Thomas Sailer 2009-04-21 16:42:02 UTC
Thank you for going through that process!

APPROVED by sailer.

I would like to encourage you to add the pkgconfig dependency to globus-xio-devel, or to add a comment to the globus-core spec file that this dependency is indirectly needed, to prevent this dependency to be accidentally removed.

Comment 9 Mattias Ellert 2009-04-21 17:40:48 UTC
Thank you for the review.
