I'm not going to do a thorough review, but I have a comment. rpmlint complains: udev-browse-debuginfo.i686: E: debuginfo-without-sources The reason why this happens is that $RPM_OPT_FLAGS aren't passed to the C compiler. Also, valac is run in a non-verbose mode, so it's not possible to inspect compiler flags by looking at the build logs. Right now the simplistic Makefile just runs valac, which in turn generates C code and runs C compiler. Valac, however, seems to completely ignore CFLAGS. I don't have any experience with vala, but I think this problem could be solved by using valac only to generate C code, and later running the C compiler directly. That way it's certainly possible to pass CFLAGS to the compiler. I would suggest to contact upstream maintainer and discuss this issue with him. It might be possible that he's willing to switch to autotools or cmake, both of which AFAIK can be used to build vala code.
Sorry, but from my point of view, it make no sense to copmile the source code into C only to get source files for the debuginfo package. In opposite, I suggest to suppress the generation of the debuginfo file for this package. The debuginfo file should contains the orignal sources and not any sources generated by a compiler.

Debuginfo subpackages isn't the only reason for $RPM_OPT_FLAGS: they also turn on security features (-fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4, -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), enable specific compiler optimization flags (-O2, -mtune=atom, -fasynchronous-unwind-tables), and more. > /.../ it make no sense to copmile the source code into C only to /.../ That's exactly what vala compiler always does: compiles vala code into C. After generating the C code, it also executes the C compiler. What I was suggesting was to stop vala from running the C compiler, so that it would be possible for the build scripts to 1) run vala compiler to produce C code, 2) call the C compiler with our preferred $RPM_OPT_FLAGS. From my point of view, honouring $RPM_OPT_FLAGS is a MUSTFIX.
It doesn't look like anything ever happened with this package. Does vala still improperly call the C compiler?
As I am upstream for this, and nothing happened on this package I think I should take this one over. I have now fixed upstream, to honour $CFLAGS, and the .spec file to honour $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, which fixes the debuginfo issue. New .spec and srpm are now available here: Spec URL: http://0pointer.de/public/udev-browse.spec SRPM URL: http://0pointer.de/public/udev-browse-0.2-1.fc16.src.rpm
Let me take this review. A small comment : - %defattr is no longer needed, and should be removed Rpmlint output : $ rpmlint udev-browse-0.2-1.fc16.i686.rpm udev-browse.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US sysfs -> sysops udev-browse.i686: W: no-manual-page-for-binary udev-browse 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings. $ rpmlint udev-browse-0.2-1.fc16.src.rpm udev-browse.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US sysfs -> sysops 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings. However, it build fine for f16, but not on rawhide : http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3910816&name=build.log + make -j16 valac --save-temps --pkg gee-1.0 --pkg gtk+-3.0 --pkg gudev-1.0 --pkg gnu --vapidir=. --Xcc=-O2 --Xcc=-g --Xcc=-pipe --Xcc=-Wall --Xcc=-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 --Xcc=-fexceptions --Xcc=-fstack-protector --Xcc=--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 --Xcc=-m32 --Xcc=-march=i686 --Xcc=-mtune=atom --Xcc=-fasynchronous-unwind-tables --Xcc=-D_GNU_SOURCE udev-browse.vala error: Package `gee-1.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
Thanks for the review! OK, added the necessary dep for libgee06-devel and dropped the defattr. New .spec and srpm are now available here: Spec URL: http://0pointer.de/public/udev-browse.spec SRPM URL: http://0pointer.de/public/udev-browse-0.2-2.fc17.src.rpm
