Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/pdfposter.spec SRPM URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/pdfposter-0.4.6-1.fc10.src.rpm Project URL: http://pdfposter.origo.ethz.ch/ Description: Pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by building it from multple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a PDF file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file, maybe containing multiple pages together building the poster. The input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size.

REVIEW FOR 29fc1c52245dc4cb3af80a3c3fc52556 pdfposter-0.4.6-1.fc10.src.rpm OK - MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review. $ rpmlint /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/result/pdfposter-0.4.6-1.fc11.* 2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. OK - MUST: The package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines. OK - MUST: The spec file name matches the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec. OK - MUST: The package meets the Packaging Guidelines. CHECK - MUST: The package is licensed with a Fedora approved license and meets the Licensing Guidelines.

OK - MUST: The sources used to build the package match the upstream source by MD5 b392f7df419c6595a3ca6a80ebc80325 OK - MUST: The package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on i386 (noarch) N/A - MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in ExcludeArch. OK - MUST: All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires. N/A - MUST: The spec file handles locales properly with the %find_lang macro. N/A - MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. N/A - MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. OK - MUST: The package owns all directories that it creates. OK - MUST: The package does not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing. OK - MUST: Permissions on files are set properly. Every %files section includes a %defattr(...) line. OK - MUST: The package has a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot}. OK - MUST: The package consistently uses macros, as described in the macros section of Packaging Guidelines. OK - MUST: The package contains code, or permissable content.

N/A - MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. N/A - MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. N/A - MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'. N/A - MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package. N/A - MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} OK - MUST: The package does not contain any .la libtool archives. N/A - 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. OK - MUST: The packages does not own files or directories already owned by other packages. OK - MUST: At the beginning of %install, the package runs rm -rf %{buildroot}. OK - MUST: All filenames in rpm packages are valid UTF-8. SHOULD Items: N/A - 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. N/A - SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. OK - SHOULD: The the package builds in mock. OK - SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures. OK - SHOULD: The package functions as described, but I was able to crash it with a certain file N/A - SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. N/A - SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. N/A - 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. OK - 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. Other Items: OK - Timestamps are preserved where necessary OK - Latest stable version packaged OK - egg info rebuilt from source and included in package Issues: - License: COPYING and PKG-INFO claim it's GPLv3, but according to the homepage it's LGPL. Please ask upstream whether it's GPL or LGPL and a single version only or any later version. - Application crashed with this file: http://www.arcor.de/pdf/arcor/privat/produkte/arcor_dsl/arcor_starterbox_bedienungsanleitung3.pdf $ pdfposter -p a2 Downloads/arcor_starterbox_bedienungsanleitung3.pdf testposter.pdf Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pdfposter", line 8, in <module> load_entry_point('pdftools.pdfposter==0.4.6', 'console_scripts', 'pdfposter')() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pdftools/pdfposter/cmd.py", line 118, in run main(opts, *args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pdftools/pdfposter/__init__.py", line 295, in main for i, page in enumerate(inpdf.pages): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyPdf/utils.py", line 78, in __getitem__ len_self = len(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyPdf/utils.py", line 73, in __len__ return self.lengthFunction() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyPdf/pdf.py", line 334, in getNumPages self._flatten() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyPdf/pdf.py", line 499, in _flatten catalog = self.trailer["/Root"].getObject() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyPdf/generic.py", line 466, in __getitem__ return dict.__getitem__(self, key).getObject() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyPdf/generic.py", line 165, in getObject return self.pdf.getObject(self).getObject() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pyPdf/pdf.py", line 555, in getObject raise Exception, "file has not been decrypted" Exception: file has not been decrypted The crash should be investigated by upstream and is not a blocker. The license however is, so I cannot approve the package at this point.
The information in the source header says that's GPLv3+ (or (at your option) any later version.) I will ask upstream to update their homepage. http://pdfposter.origo.ethz.ch/node/36
OK then, since this was the only issue, the package is APPROVED.
The crash is reproducible, reported upstream http://pdfposter.origo.ethz.ch/node/37
