Description Michal Nowak 2009-05-07 10:01:45 UTC
Spec URL: http://mnowak.fedorapeople.org/libxdg-basedir/libxdg-basedir.spec
SRPM URL: http://mnowak.fedorapeople.org/libxdg-basedir/libxdg-basedir-1.0.0-1.fc11.src.rpm
Description:

The XDG Base Directory Specification defines where should user files 
be looked for by defining one or more base directories relative in 
with they should be located.

This library implements functions to list the directories according 
to the specification and provides a few higher-level functions.

Comment 2 Christian Krause 2009-06-07 13:33:48 UTC
I've reviewed the package and it looks ok. There are only some minor and uncritical issues:

* rpmlint: TODO
rpmlint SPECS/libxdg-basedir.spec SRPMS/libxdg-basedir-1.0.0-1.fc10.src.rpm RPMS/i386/libxdg-basedir-*
libxdg-basedir.i386: W: no-documentation
libxdg-basedir-devel.i386: W: no-documentation
4 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

In general it is not a problem to have no documentation if
a package doesn't provide any. ;-) However, in this specific case
the package provides a doxygen API documentation (make doxygen-all).
It would be good if it could be added to the devel package.

* naming: OK
- name matches upstream
- spec file name matches package name

* sources: TODO
- e32bcfa772fb57e8e1acdf9616a8d567  libxdg-basedir-1.0.0.tar.gz
- sources matches upstream
- Source0 tag ok
- spectool -g  works
- upstream version 1.0.1 was released a couple of weeks ago, please update to
the new version (according to upstream's git repo it looks like a minor
bug fix release)

* License: TODO
- License MIT acceptable
- License in spec file matches the actual license (MIT license header in libxdg-basedir-1.0.0/src/basedir.c )
- No License file included, so there is no need to package it.
- It would be better if upstream would provide a license file. According to the Review guidelines the packager is encouraged to query upstream to include it. However this will not block the review.

* spec file written in English and legible: OK

* compilation: OK
- supports parallel build
- RPM_OPT_FLAGS are correctly used
- builds in mock (F10)
- builds in koji:

Now we have -docs sub-package with Doxygen generated documentation.

Comment 4 Christian Krause 2009-06-08 23:46:58 UTC
Hi Michal,

thanks for the fast reply. I believe we are very close to approval, just two minor items:

Ok, good! Only one small request: please can you rename the -docs package into -doc? I'm not 100% sure about this because I've found on my system packages with both naming conventions. However, the packaging guidelines only mention -doc: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#PackageDocumentation

Great - looks like Mark already added it. It is sufficient to include it in the package once upstream provides a new tarball. No further action needed right now. ;-)

Just for reference: the new source tarball matches upstream - md5sum:
941dacde04db15164c9aca5a1d856665  libxdg-basedir-1.0.1.tar.gz

Sorry, probably there was a small misunderstanding here. Adding "Requires: pkgconfig" is sufficient since it will provide the ownership of %{_libdir}/pkgconfig. So it is not needed that libxdg-base-devel owns the pkgconfig directory itself (and other packages with *.pc files don't do it either... ;-) ).


Best regards,
Christian

Hola, thanks for the review.

Correct. I misread the docs. Corrected.

Yep. Right. I should use brain next time.

Both issues fixed:

* Tue Jun  9 2009 Michal Nowak <mnowak> - 1.0.1-2
- removed bogus ownership of %%{_libdir}/pkgconfig/
- "docs" sub-package renamed to "doc"

I've reviewed the new packages and all reported issues are fixed.
