Description Peter Robinson 2009-06-26 14:44:54 UTC
SPEC: http://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/mutter.spec

A window manager based on metacity and clutter

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2009-06-26 14:53:48 UTC
Just as a drive-by, that URL in the spec isn't right.

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2009-06-26 15:32:50 UTC
Owen, what do you reckon with that?

Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2009-06-26 15:36:24 UTC
(In reply to comment #1)
> Just as a drive-by, that URL in the spec isn't right.  

How right you are. I've set it to moblin.org at the moment as I can't find a page on gnome.org or in google. Other suggestions welcome.

Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2009-06-26 16:53:50 UTC
For the URL, I'd suggest just using the cgit URL for now:

 http://git.gnome.org/cgit/mutter

(I don't think the moblin URL is appropriate.)

Some more drive-by comments:

BuildRequires: gobject-introspection-devel
[...]
  --without-introspection

Those two conflict. We'll definitely need an introspection-enabled package of Mutter for F12, so we can package gnome-shell. That will mean making sure that the Clutter package is introspection enabled as well, and that we have up-to-date versions of gobject-introspection and gir-repository packaged.

BuildRequires: fontconfig-devel
BuildRequires: libglade2-devel
BuildRequires: mesa-libGL-devel
BuildRequires: xorg-x11-proto-devel

These seem extraneous.

BuildRequires: zenity

This should be a Requires: along with a BuildRequires.

  --disable-xinerama

Why?

At a high level, getting to packaging the gnome-shell stack for Fedora:

 gobject-introspection [already old version packaged, I think]
 gir-repository [there's a review request]
 clutter-0.9
 gjs
 mutter
 gnome-shell

Is something that I want the gnome-shell team to get to soon (though probably not until after GUADEC); and to do that, we'll definitely push out tarball releases rather than packaging git snapshots. We're happy to have co-maintainers and people helping out with that.

Comment 5 Rudolf Kastl 2009-06-26 16:56:50 UTC
src rpm is broken (check size). probably half upload.

Comment 6 Owen Taylor 2009-06-26 17:12:03 UTC
One more comment - the Summary should be :

 Window and compositing manager based on Clutter

(That's what I used in mutter.doap and GNOME bugzilla) I don't have a %description handy.

Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2009-06-26 23:31:45 UTC
FYI, I already pushed clutter 0.9 packages for F12.

Is there a site for it then, I couldn't even find anything basic in live.gnome.org

> Some more drive-by comments:

I took the config options from the moblin srpm. Not doubt there's more tweaking to do.

The gobject-introspection is missing at least gtk/gdk ones.

I figured they were but I'm still having issues with the build anyway so haven't had a chance to fully optimise it.

Option from moblin again.

The gobject-introspection is 0.6.2 so one release out. I'll look at the repo package to get that in, clutter is there. Not sure about gjs but will look as well.

Brilliant!

Bad wifi at Fudcon probably. I'll update the spec and re-upload later today.

Comment 10 Peter Robinson 2009-06-27 11:34:30 UTC
OK. New updated spec here.

Taking for review

Comment 12 Owen Taylor 2009-07-16 22:12:06 UTC
[OK]    *  MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review.[1]

ON SRPM:

 rpmlint /tmp/mutter-2.27.0-0.2.20090626gita13dec3.fc11.src.rpm 
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

On RPM:

mutter.i586: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 2.27.0-0.2 ['2.27.0-0.2.20090626gita13dec3.fc11', '2.27.0-0.2.20090626gita13dec3']

 Doesn't matter, we'll have real tarballs soon anyways.

mutter.i586: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib/libmutter-private.so.0.0.0 exit

 None of rpmlint's damn business (libmutter-private has meta_exit, meta_fatal utility functions in it.)

mutter.i586: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/gconf/schemas/mutter.schemas

 OK.

[OK]    * MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines .
[OK]    * MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption. [2] .
[OK]    * MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines .
[OK]    * MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. [3]
[OK]    * MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.[4]
[OK]    * MUST: The spec file must be written in American English. [5]
[OK]    * MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. [6]
[XX]    * MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this.

Source: should be http://download.gnome.org/sources/mutter/2.27/%{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2

[XX]    * MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture. [7]

 Looks like the file list is out of sync with recent mutter changes; removing files that are no longer in Mutter and adding .po file handling, it seems to build OK.

[NA]    * 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.
[XX]    * MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense.

From reading the configure.in, missing BuildRequires I can find:

 gir-repository-devel
 libXcomposite-devel
 libSM-devel

[XX]    * MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.[9]

Not OK, no handling of .po files.

[OK]    * 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. [10]
[OK]    * 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.
[XX]    * MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. [12]

File list has: %{_libdir}/mutter/plugins/clutter/*.so and doesn't own any of the parent directories. (Current mutter removes the clutter/ part of this). Probably should just have %{_datadir}/mutter in the file list.

Needs to Requires: control-center-filesystem for /usr/share/gnome/wm-properties/

[OK]    * MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings. [13]
[OK]    * MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a %defattr(...) line. [14]
[OK]    * MUST: Each package must have a %clean section
[OK]    * MUST: Each package must consistently use macros. [16]
[OK]    * MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. [17]
[OK]    * MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity). [18]
[OK]    * MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present. [18]
[OK]    * MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. [19]
[NA]    * MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. [20]
[OK]    * MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for directory ownership and usability). [21]
[OK]    * 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. [19]
[OK]    * MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} [22]
[OK]    * MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.[20]
[XX]    * 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. If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation. [23]

Should be using desktop-file-install (the metacity package has desktop-file-install usage commented out, with a comment that the .desktop file is invalid, but mutter.desktop seems fine)

[OK]    * MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. 
[OK]    * MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT). [25]
[OK]    * MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. [26]

[NA]    *  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. [27]
[NA]    * SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. [28]
[NT]    * SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. [29]
[NT]    * SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures. [30]
[??]    * SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example.

 Got a white screen in a quick test of 'mutter --replace', but it's a slightly old version of Mutter, so didn't investigate further.

[OK]    * SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. [31]
[OK]    * SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. [22]
[OK]    * 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. [32] 

Packaging guidelines:

Other notes:

 - Should not run autogen.sh (and some of the BuildRequires: thus aren't needed: libotool, automake, autoconf, gnome-common0)

 - Although it makes the specfile more complex, I think the check in metacity.spec:

SHOULD_HAVE_DEFINED="HAVE_SM HAVE_XINERAMA HAVE_XFREE_XINERAMA HAVE_SHAPE HAVE_RANDR HAVE_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION"

for I in $SHOULD_HAVE_DEFINED; do
  if ! grep -q "define $I" config.h; then
    echo "$I was not defined in config.h"
    grep "$I" config.h
    exit 1
  else
    echo "$I was defined as it should have been"
    grep "$I" config.h
  fi
done

Is probably worthwhile moving over. (And add HAVE_COMPOSITE_EXTENSION)

- From the metacity.rpm, looking at the patches:

  Patch0: default-theme.patch 

  Not needed - we share schemas with metacity

  # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558723
  Patch4: stop-spamming-xsession-errors.patch 
  # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135056                                                         
  Patch5: dnd-keynav.patch 
  # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584723     
  Patch6: no-lame-dialog.patch

  All affect Mutter, but I'll take care of getting them fixed upstream, so let's not include them here.

 - You should

    export GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL=1
    make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
    unset GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL

   Or it will try to install the schemas into the system database on the build system.

 - I removed dependency of this bug on gjs (not needed for Mutter by itself), added dependency on getting clutter built with gobject-introspection support

 - Here's my stab at a good %description

   %description
   Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
   your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine
   using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited
   from the Metacity window manager.
  
   While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
   used as the display core of a larger system such as gnome-shell or
   Moblin. For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which
   are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window
   management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

A bit too much about Mutter technically and not enough about why you want to install Mutter, but should do. (And will most likely be sitting their unchanged in 10 years no matter what else has happened in the meantime....)

 - And a %description for -devel:

    Header files and libraries for developing Mutter plugins. Also includes
    utilities for testing Metacity/Mutter themes.

And finally:

 - While I was writing this, I was simultaneously getting mutter to 'make distcheck' succesfully. I've now uploaded a 2.27.1 tarball. It should appear at

  http://download.gnome.org/sources/mutter/2.27/

  once ftp.gnome.org finishes syncing.

It seems the gir-repository 0.6.3 clutter support is for clutter 0.8 [1] and hence the mutter build barfs on it [2]. A quick look through the git logs I don't see a g-i or gir commit for the support of the new clutter.

Will update the rest with an updated spec shortly.

gir-repository-devel is needed for Gtk and Pango. The Clutter-0.9 support is part of Clutter itself. The clutter in Rawhide needs a small patch to the spec and a rebuild - see bug 512260

I think everything is fixed except the desktop file bit and the SHOULD_HAVE_DEFINED section which I'll update in the morning but the rest is now updated and it builds :-)

Will be testing this on my eeePC over the weekend.

Was only there because of the use of a git snapshot while waiting for proper release. Fixed.

It can always be compiled against it at a later point.

I think the following is the last bits that needed to be addressed

> Should be using desktop-file-install (the metacity package has
> desktop-file-install usage commented out, with a comment that the .desktop file
> is invalid, but mutter.desktop seems fine)

As there's already a .desktop file for mutter we just need to run desktop-file-validate on it - FIXED.

[??]    * SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as
described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example.

 Got a white screen in a quick test of 'mutter --replace', but it's a slightly
old version of Mutter, so didn't investigate further.

When testing this on my eeePC 901 I get a grey box in the top right of a white box which is in the top left of the screen. I'm not sure if this isn't just rawhide as it stands on my eeePC though as it has other rendering issues with the standard gnome desktop.

Comment 18 Owen Taylor 2009-07-22 19:01:19 UTC
The new spec file looks good to me.

I tracked down the problem with the default plugin to:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589419

It just affects the default plugin (mutter --replace). gnome-shell and Moblin should work fine, so I'm not sure that it's necessary to put a patch into the package. It will be fixed next time we do a release.
