Description Jean-Francois Saucier 2010-01-14 15:48:36 UTC
Spec URL: http://jfsaucier.fedorapeople.org/packages/lorem-ipsum-generator.spec
SRPM URL: http://jfsaucier.fedorapeople.org/packages/lorem-ipsum-generator-0.3-1.fc12.src.rpm
Description: 
Lorem Ipsum Generator provides a GTK+ graphical user interface, a command-line
interface, and a Python module that generate random "lorem ipsum" text. The
Lorem Ipsum Generator can produce a given quantity of paragraphs or sentences
of "lorem ipsum" text. "Lorem ipsum" text is also known as "lipsum" text.


rpmlint give no warning/error on spec, srpm and rpm.


The koji scratch build are all fine for F-11, F-12 and rawhide :
- http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1921200
- http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1921206
- http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1921211


Here is what the two patches do :

lorem-ipsum-generator_fix_installed_files.patch : remove a Windows only file. Also, remove the hardcoded path for documentation.

lorem-ipsum-generator_fix_desktop_file.patch : fix the syntax of the desktop file to comply with the guidelines.


Thank you!

Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2010-01-15 18:35:02 UTC
A great program, I always felt we need something like this. Stay tuned for a review.

Comment 2 Susi Lehtola 2010-01-16 00:27:06 UTC
You can start by making
 %{python_sitelib}/*
more explicit, since the above version doesn't fail e.g. when eggs aren't built..

Other items:
OK - latest stable version
OK - SourceURL valid


Issues: 
- As Jussi pointed out, the files section should be more explicit

- You are running the install command twice:
python setup.py install --skip-build --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
python setup.py install -O1 --skip-build --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

- There are some issues with the desktop file:
1. There is no icon because there is no "python" icon
2. Why is StartupNotify set to false?
3. Should IMHO have the additional category "TextTools" (if this is no text tool, what then?)

- Hint: Patches are usually named %{name}-%{version}-what-it-does.patch, where version is the version the patch was introduced.

Comment 4 Christoph Wickert 2010-01-16 02:13:07 UTC
One more thing: Please add TODO to the docs.

> - As Jussi pointed out, the files section should be more explicit

I think it's good now.


> - You are running the install command twice:

Fixed. Don't know how I miss this one.


> 1. There is no icon because there is no "python" icon

My fault, I have a theme that provide such an icon. I replaced it with the generic gnome-mime-text-x-python since the package doesn't provide one.


> 2. Why is StartupNotify set to false?

I removed this from the desktop file. I based my desktop file from another program and I forgot to remove this line before doing the patch.


> 3. Should IMHO have the additional category "TextTools" (if this is no text tool, what then?)

Yes, you are right! This tool fits right in that category. I added it to the desktop file.


> - Hint: Patches are usually named %{name}-%{version}-what-it-does.patch

Changed. Thanks for pointing this out.


> One more thing: Please add TODO to the docs.

Added!


rpmlint give no warning/error on spec, srpm and rpm.

Build fine in my local mock instance.


Thank you for taking the time to review this package!
