Description: 
Faust AUdio STreams is a functional programming language for real-time audio
signal processing. Its programming model combines two approaches : functional
programming and block diagram composition. You can think of FAUST as a
structured block diagram language with a textual syntax.

FAUST is intended for developers who need to develop efficient C/C++ audio
plugins for existing systems or full standalone audio applications. Thanks to
some specific compilation techniques and powerful optimizations, the C++ code
generated by the Faust compiler is usually very fast. It can generally compete
with (and sometimes outperform) hand-written C code.

Programming with FAUST is somehow like working with electronic circuits and
signals. A FAUST program is a list of definitions that defines a signal
processor block-diagram : a piece of code that produces output signals
according to its input signals (and maybe some user interface parameters)


rpmlint gives two kinds of errors/warnings:
   devel-file-in-non-devel-package
   only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
Both can be ignored since these files are really needed there during the runtime of faust compiler.

[Review]

Attached is my initial review.

Summary:
- rpmlint: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib should be explained or fixed
- should tools/%{name}2pd-* be %doc?
- is the doc subpackage not requiring the base package intentional?

Thank you for the initial review!

I fixed this. I put all those files in %{_datadir}/%{name}

> - should tools/%{name}2pd-* be %doc?

pd (Pure Data: http://puredata.info/) is a large programming environment that is unfortunately not packaged in Fedora yet. Thus installing these files in %{_bindir} will not mean much for the time being (We could even build these files from sources if we had pd in Fedora.). I am thinking of keeping these in %doc until the day we have pd packaged (which is no easy task).

> - is the doc subpackage not requiring the base package intentional?  

Yes that was intentional. I checked the existing doc subpackages we have in Fedora. Some require the main package, some don't. On a second thought, I couldn't think of a case where someone would just want the doc subpackage for faust without needing the main package, so I added the dep.

So here we are:
Spec URL: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/faust.spec
SRPM URL: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/faust-0.9.9.4-2.b.fc10.src.rpm

Changelog: 0.9.9.4-2.b
- Fix the year of the previous changelog entry
- Install the nonbinary files in %%{_datadir}/%%{name}/
- Add Requires: %%{name}=%%{version}-%%{release} to the doc subpackage

Comment 3 Conrad Meyer 2009-03-21 16:39:08 UTC
This looks very good, thank you for packaging it for Fedora. APPROVED.
