Description Jens Petersen 2009-11-17 02:05:23 UTC
Spec URL: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-hashed-storage/ghc-hashed-storage.spec
SRPM URL: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-hashed-storage/ghc-hashed-storage-0.3.9-1.fc12.src.rpm
Description: 
Support code for reading and manipulating hashed file storage (where each file and directory is associated with a cryptographic hash, for corruption-resistant storage and fast comparisons).

The supported storage formats include darcs hashed pristine, a plain filesystem tree and an indexed plain tree (where the index maintains hashes of the plain files and directories).

Needed by darcs 2.3.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2010-01-11 04:11:07 UTC
Thanks for the careful review.  ghc-mmap is now built for rawhide.

I fixed the missing mmap dep and updated to latest macros.

However bad news: darcs-2.3.1 does not build with ghc-6.12.1,
and darcs-beta requires hashed-storage >= 0.4.2 which has additional
dependencies: binary and dataenc. :-/

So this doesn't build yet:

Spec URL:
http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-hashed-storage/ghc-hashed-storage.spec
SRPM URL:
http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-hashed-storage/ghc-hashed-storage-0.4.3-1.fc12.src.rpm

I will open new reviews for binary and dataenc and link them here as deps.

(If you prefer I could revert to 0.3.9 for now to speed up this review.)

Comment 3 Lorenzo Villani 2010-01-11 16:10:04 UTC
Let's revert to 0.3.9. Making the changes for GHC 6.12 and the new hashed storage is just a matter of adding the needed 'BuildRequires'.

Comment 5 Lorenzo Villani 2010-01-20 12:11:23 UTC
License tag is wrong. Please use "License: GPL+ and BSD"

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2010-01-21 00:22:12 UTC
Aha - which part if GPL? :)

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2010-01-21 02:19:41 UTC
Doh - would help if I actually looked at the right package...

You're right SHA256.hsc is marked GPL.  I actually talked
to the author about this and he remarked that he had rewritten
the file recently but that does not affect this review...
So yeah I think the License tag should be "GPL+".

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2010-01-21 08:38:51 UTC
To clarify again, I think "GPL+" is correct for now.
GPL plus BSD = GPL: the library is not dual-licensed
so GPL+ is the correct license AFAICT.

(In reply to comment #7)
> You're right SHA256.hsc is marked GPL.  I actually talked

(Correctly he hasn't updated the original header file yet IIUC, but anyway.)

Comment 9 Conrad Meyer 2010-01-21 08:53:24 UTC
I think that makes it GPL AND BSD (whereas dual-licensed would be GPL OR BSD). But I could be wrong.

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2010-01-21 09:29:24 UTC
(In reply to comment #8)

So in that sense we could actually ignore GPL.

(In reply to comment #9)
> I think that makes it GPL AND BSD (whereas dual-licensed would be GPL OR BSD).

You're right about dual-licenseing being "OR", but AFAIK "AND"
means part of the binary package is one license and another part
another (cf cpphs).  In this case it is a single library linked
together and hence GPL trumphs BSD.

However going on the above comment from the author I think we could
just forget about the "GPL code" - I could add a comment to that
effect in the spec file.

Comment 11 Jens Petersen 2010-01-21 09:30:46 UTC

Meant to add he has actually made that change in hashed-map-0.4.5
which will be required by darcs-2.4.0 anyway.

Comment 12 Lorenzo Villani 2010-01-21 20:43:57 UTC
I will make an exception for the license tag (change confirmed in hashed-map-0.4.5).
+1

Comment 15 Jens Petersen 2010-01-23 09:27:54 UTC
Thanks - approved package imported to cvs.

I am updating to 0.4.5 for darcs-beta.

Comment 16 Christoph Wickert 2010-01-30 16:54:44 UTC
I'm not familiar with haskell, but looking at the spec I wonder what's the use of using globals for name, summary and description and depends?

Using globals only makes sense if
- the their contents is changing a lot
- if the conditionals are used in the spec several times.

Nether is the case and it makes the spec hard to read and rpmlint.

BTW: Was this package ever rpmlint'ed during review?

$ rpmlint ~/Desktop/ghc-hashed-storage-0.3.9-2.fc12.src.rpm

ghc-hashed-storage.src: W: no-buildroot-tag
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 3 warnings.

The missing "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" is not in the %cabal_install macro ether:

$ rpmlint ghc-hashed-storage*0.3.9-2.fc13.i686.rpm

I was trying to build this in mock, but it fails:

F-13:

Comment 17 Christoph Wickert 2010-01-30 17:00:21 UTC
OK,  Iguess 0.4.5 is not supposed to build, but is the whole haskell stack broken in rawhide? I can't build 0.3.9 ether.

(In reply to comment #16)

Because they are used by ghc-rpm-macros.

Was fixed in cvs import.

rpmlint needs updating... they are now superfluous.

This are normal fpr ghc libs.

Yes it is needed.

The package is for rawhide and requires ghc-6.12.1
it will build in f12 without latest ghc and ghc-rpm-macros.
(No not all fedora packages are backported to earlier releases...)

> F-13:

0.3.9 package is in rawhide...

What do you need this package for?  cabal-install may be your friend:
"cabal install hashed-storage".

Thanks for the info, but I don't see common_summary or common_description used there.

Right. Other warnings/error are false positives, but still rpmlint is part of a review and the rpmlint output should be posted. If this doesn't happen, I don't consider this a proper review.

> The package is for rawhide and requires ghc-6.12.1

Then it should have proper versioned BuildRequires. The version numbers may only be omitted, if all supported Fedora releases satisfy the versions.

I just wanted to test if the package builds in mock, and currently 0.3.9 does not: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1955760

Which version of ghc-rpm-macros are you looking at?

Agreed

ghc-rpm-macros BR is versioned: later I may want to backport the package
to F12 with updated macros there - then a ghc version would be unnecesary.
ie the latest macros assume ghc-6.12.1 not the package itself per se. 
I suppose ghc-rpm-macros could have a requires on ghc but I was trying
to avoid that I think.

You're right, it seems I made a mistake and didn't upload the actual package
that scratch-built in koji... :(

I uploaded
http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/ghc-hashed-storage/final/ghc-hashed-storage-0.3.9-2.fc12.src.rpm
which I believe was the correct package and also what I imported to cvs.
I hope that might satisfy your curiosity. :)


Honesty I am very busy at work right and don't really have time
for a review inquisition but if you feel great malpractice and
incompetence took place here you can reopen.

I think we got absorbed in the license question and then Lozenzo
forgot to confirm that that package builds, but it was fixed anyway
before importing so not a big deal IMHO.

Strange, I wonder why I could install/mock it then. Might have been the wrong package then.

> I hope that might satisfy your curiosity. :)

Indeed, it does. Everything looks fine in CVS now, so I let this review rest.
