Description Tim Niemueller 2010-01-31 00:06:01 UTC
Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~timn/robotics/urg.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~timn/robotics/urg-0.8.7-1.fc12.src.rpm
Description: This library uses the SCIP2.0 protocol to provide access to devices of Hokuyo URG laser range finder series.

Note: the rpmlint warning that the package name appears in the summary line must be ignored. The library is named urg, as are a series of products of Hokuyo. But Hokuyo also produces other laser range finders such that just "Hokuyo laser range finder" is not enough.

The package has been verified with actual hardware and is working just fine. Several patches to make it suitable for inclusion have been created and submitted and were included by (a very responsive) upstream. Current set of patches has also been sent to upstream. At the moment it fails to build on ppc64. I do not intend to investigate this (no machine available, especially not to test if the library works and ppc/ppc64 is no longer a primary arch).

Comment 1 Michael Schwendt 2010-01-31 17:04:08 UTC
* Hardcoded /usr/lib in -config scripts in x86_64 package.

* /usr/include/urg/findFiles.h depends on boost-devel, but this header is optional (currently) and hence the dependency on boost-devel is optional. So, this acceptable.

* Only the README mentions the LGPL licensing with a single word. Less than ideal (as preferably, the source files also refer to the licensing), but acceptable.

$ rpmlint urg-*.x86_64.rpm

3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings.

* src.rpm crashes rpmlint from updates-testing ;)

* "spectool -g urg-0.8.7-1.fc12.src/urg.spec" only retrieves a HTML page, not the tarball.

* Please point out the compiler warnings to upstream. Especially the format string warnings.

(In reply to comment #1)
> * Hardcoded /usr/lib in -config scripts in x86_64 package.

Extended norpath patch to remove those. But actually they provided /usr/lib/(c_)?urg. A patch I submitted has been recently applied to rename libraries and remove this extra sub-dir of /usr/lib, this is a remnant.

Added boost-devel for devel sub-package to be on the safe side.

Will pass this request to upstream.

All warnings are "ok". The spelling errors are none (company is indeed named Hokuyo), name repeated in summary intended as explained in original pos, no documentation for devel package available in tar ball.

Nothing I can do about it :-)

Fixed, URL to actual file given now, spectool downloads proper file.

Will do.

Spec file updated at previous place, new SRPM is at http://fedorapeople.org/~timn/robotics/urg-0.8.7-2.fc12.src.rpm.
