Description Mohamed El Morabity 2009-12-28 15:18:25 UTC
Spec URL: http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+.spec
SRPM URL: http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+-1.2.14-1.fc12.src.rpm

Description: Nicotine+ is a client for the SoulSeek filesharing network. It was "forked" from Nicotine, Hyriand's Soulseek client, which in turn was forked from the PySoulSeek project by Alexander Kanavin.

This is my first package and I need a sponsor.

Comment 1 Mohamed El Morabity 2010-01-01 18:34:22 UTC
Some update:
Spec URL: http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+.spec
SRPM URL:
http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+-1.2.14-2.fc12.src.rpm

I've added a patch to make nicotine+ call xdg-open as the default file browser/player/navigator (instead of rox/xmms/firefox). I added therefore a Requires on xdg-utils.
Once the bug tracker of Nicotine+ will be back (some server problem), I'll submit the remaining patches upstream.

rpmlint and mock are still happy ^^.

Comment 2 Mohamed El Morabity 2010-01-01 22:20:42 UTC
New update:
Spec URL: http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+.spec
SRPM URL: http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+-1.2.14-3.fc12.src.rpm

I finally updated the previous patch to enable also audio effects playing using GStreamer by default (instead of calling play, other choices available in the settings of the application were ogg123 and GStreamer). Since the application allows the user to use custom sound effects by selecting his own audio files, Gstreamer seems to be the better choice to let users playing a large amount of media types.
gstreamer-python was already set as a Requires previously.

Comment 3 Mohamed El Morabity 2010-01-02 23:15:34 UTC
Another update:
Spec URL: http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+.spec
SRPM URL:
http://melmorabity.fedorapeople.org/packages/nicotine+/nicotine+-1.2.14-4.fc12.src.rpm

The Nicotine+ bug tracker works now, so I submitted the patches used in my SRPM upstream; the URLs to the corresponding open tickets are given in comments in the .spec file for each patch. The patch correcting the .desktop file provided was accepted upstream :-) :
   http://www.nicotine-plus.org/changeset?old_path=%2F&old=1353&new_path=%2F&new=1353
The other patches are waiting a review.

I also discovered a bug in the application making help unavailable. I made a patch to correct this issue, and I submitted it also (see comments in .spec). This is the reason why I updated my SRPM.

Comment 4 Mohamed El Morabity 2010-01-14 15:32:41 UTC
A small correction... I dropped the patch to remove shebangs for a sed command instead:

SRPM URL:

Comment 5 Mohamed El Morabity 2010-01-17 22:48:14 UTC
Just a few words to say that all my patches submitted upstream got accepted (some with little adaptations) :-)

* MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture. see comment 6                  [OK]
* 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.
                                                               [OK]
* MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.
                                                               [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.                            [NA]
* MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries.   [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. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker.                                          [NA]
* 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.                                         [NA]
* MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings.                                               [NA]
* 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.                                            [OK]
* MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).                             [OK]
* MUST: Each package must consistently use macros.             [OK]
* MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. [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).             [NA]
* 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                                  [OK]
* MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package.              [NA]
* MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package.         [NA]
* MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for directory ownership and usability).                       [NA]
* 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.
                                                               [NA]
* MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}                                                      [NA]
* MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.                         [NA]
* 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.
- The desktop file are validate by desktop-file-validate in %install section
                                                               [OK]
* 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. [OK]
* MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).                                          [OK]
* MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.     [OK]

FINALLY: Running it. All work (just need open port tcp 2234 on your firewall and NAT)

Comment 14 Susi Lehtola 2010-01-25 07:28:22 UTC
- Nothing owns
 %{_datadir}/%{alt_name}/
so you need to add
 %dir {_datadir}/%{alt_name}/

- I personally dislike entries like
 %{_bindir}/*
in spec files, since 1. you have no idea of what files are provided by the package. Please be more verbose and replace it with
 %{_bindir}/nicotine*
