Comment 2 Pavel Alexeev 2009-10-02 14:18:00 UTC
I'll review it.

Comment 3 Pavel Alexeev 2009-10-04 16:25:04 UTC
Full review follow, but now it is even fail to build - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1726931

I think you miss (Build)Requires pyxdg.

Comment 5 Pavel Alexeev 2009-10-11 21:27:59 UTC
[+] MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review.[1]
$ rpmlint *
2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
[pasha@x-www 1]$ ls *
crunchyfrog-0.4.0-2.fc12.src.rpm  crunchyfrog.spec

noarch:
crunchyfrog-0.4.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm

[+] MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines .
[+] MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption. [2] .
[-] MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines .
You must include in %doc files:
AUTHORS, CHANGES, COPYING, INSTALL, README (if you want also TODO and PKG-INFO)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#PackageDocumentation

[+] MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines .
[-] MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. [3]
Mostly, but not all.
utils/msgfmt.py written by another author Martin v. L.wis and license is unknown. I think we can't distribute it (and usual it is part of python-tools).
In utils directory also present other files with different authors, some have Free licenses and we can distribute them, like utils/builder/docbook.py:
:Author: Ollie Rutherfurd
:Revision: $Revision$
:Date: $Date$
:Copyright: This module has been placed in the public domain.
but some other license is unknown, there are: utils/builder/dbbuilder.py, utils/builder/gcwiki.py, utils/command/* as I undartand is part of sphinx by Sebastian Wiesner and Licensed under MIT.

extras/plugins/sqlformat/sqlformat/printsql.py Authors Peter Bengtsson, Andi Albrecht also without license mention.
cf/sqlparse/dialects.py have header:
# This module is part of python-sqlparse and is released under
# the BSD License: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php.

I think there all files must be completely revisited...

[-] 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]
COPYING not included.

[+] MUST: The spec file must be written in American English. [5]
[+] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. [6]
[-] 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.
New version 0.4.1 available and old url http://crunchyfrog.googlecode.com/files/crunchyfrog-0.4.0.tar.gz is broken now. Please update.

[-] MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture. [7]
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1741089

It is filed on EL5 - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1741221

[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. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch MUST have a bug filed in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that architecture. The bug number MUST be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding ExcludeArch line. [8]

[+] 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.

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

[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. [10]

[+] MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries.[11]

[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. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker. [12]

[+] 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. [13]

[+] MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings. [14]

[+] 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. [15]

[+] MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT). [16]

[+] MUST: Each package must consistently use macros. [17]

[-] MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. [18]
See remarks before about licensing. Each included file must be checked. Many files with unknown license.

[=] 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). [19]
It is not strongly required but consider place doc in separate sub-package. It is greater than 400Kb.

[+] 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. [19]

[n/a] MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. [20]

[n/a] MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. [21]

[n/a] MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for directory ownership and usability). [22]

[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. [20]

[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} [23]

[+] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.[21]

[-] 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. [24]
You shouldn't apply vendor for destkop-file-install:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage

[+] MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. [25]

[+] MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. [27]


[+] 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. [28]

[n/a] SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. [29]

[-] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. [30]
It built on F11 and rawhide, but filed on El5 - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1741221
Do you plan maintain it on epel?

[-] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example.
It is even not installed due unresolved dependency:
  --> Missing Dependency: gnome-python-desktop2 is needed by package crunchyfrog-0.4.0-2.fc11.noarch (/crunchyfrog-0.4.0-2.fc11.noarch)
Error: Missing Dependency: gnome-python-desktop2 is needed by package crunchyfrog-0.4.0-2.fc11.noarch (/crunchyfrog-0.4.0-2.fc11.noarch)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Please note, I even enable rawhide repository and still can't find package gnome-python-desktop2. What is it? This request also do not have any dependencies...

[+] SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. [32]

[n/a] SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. [23]

[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. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. [22]

[n/a] 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. [33]

Comment 6 Rakesh Pandit 2009-11-09 11:24:33 UTC
For license issue I am contacting upstream and will wait for few days for there response.

http://code.google.com/p/crunchyfrog/issues/detail?id=75

Thanks,

Comment 7 Pavel Alexeev 2010-08-24 12:13:11 UTC
Upstream author answer. Most of spurious bundled libraries removed.

There stay at first glance sqlparse which should be packaged separately if it still not in Fedora.

There also ooolib and shell libraries. If they mandatory - it must be packaged separately as system-wide packages.

In any case it is not so much as did initially.

Comment 8 Pavel Alexeev 2010-11-05 00:05:57 UTC
Ping?

Comment 9 Rakesh Pandit 2010-11-05 02:38:41 UTC
Thanks Pavel for waiting on this. I will update in coming week.

Comment 10 Pavel Alexeev 2010-11-18 12:57:46 UTC
Albrecht clarify most outstanding license issues - http://code.google.com/p/crunchyfrog/issues/detail?id=75#c12

Rakesh, do you plan continue?

Comment 11 Rakesh Pandit 2010-12-16 12:08:00 UTC
Thanks for waiting on this one:

Yes these two dependencies need to be in Fedora. Checking ...

Two file have different license:

* utils/msgfmt.py which is written by Martin von Löwis and distributed as part of the Python distribution.
* cf/shell/ipython_view.py is a BSD-licensed snippet as found as an example on the Ipython project page.

So it seems it is AND of all licenses. Checking ...

Comment 12 Rakesh Pandit 2010-12-16 12:16:29 UTC
python-sqlparse is already available, but http://ooolib.sourceforge.net/ seems to be missing. Will get a review request ready and place that as a dependency to this request.

Comment 13 Pavel Alexeev 2010-12-16 19:13:20 UTC
I'm not Python developer, but may be I can look on it, if you submit ooolib on review. Do not forget link it as dependence there.

Comment 14 Pavel Alexeev 2012-03-18 08:16:16 UTC
ping?
Is there any progress?

Comment 15 Pavel Alexeev 2013-11-22 10:00:30 UTC
Please answer. In one week I'll drop assignment as reviewer.

Comment 16 Rakesh Pandit 2013-11-22 14:27:10 UTC
Sorry about hanging this for years. I am not interested in maintaining this package any more. If someone is interested feel free to pack it.

regards,

Comment 17 Pavel Alexeev 2013-11-22 14:56:54 UTC
Ok, then I close it.
