Comment 1 Chen Lei 2010-05-08 11:40:47 UTC
*** Bug 569038 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Andrea Musuruane 2010-05-08 13:24:46 UTC
Let's start with some remarks:

- The code is licensed under the MIT license while the icons are licensed as CC-BY. Therefore:

# the code is licensed under the MIT license while the icons are licensed as CC-BY
License:        MIT and CC-BY

(adding a comment in the SPEC file is really suggest to avoid further questions).

- These explicit Requires are not needed and they must be dropped:
Requires:		mono-core, gtk-sharp2

- It is not needed to copy SOURCE1 in the top source directory.

- You must use desktop-file-install to install desktop files.

- Comment and Generic name should be different in desktop files. See Debian package for ideas.

- You are using an icon found in an external package without requiring it. Anyway I suggest you to use the icon Debian for consistency. Moreover it is derived from pinta logo.

- You are not installing any doc.

- Rpmlint output is not clean. You must fix:
pinta.x86_64: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 0.3-2.20100412git ['0.3-1.20100412git.fc12', '0.3-1.20100412git']
pinta.x86_64: W: no-documentation

- If you run /usr/bin/pinta you'll get an error stating "Could not open file: ". This is because you are not correctly escaping "$@" when creating the bash script.


Debian Pinta pacakge:

Comment 3 Andrea Musuruane 2010-05-24 12:22:47 UTC
Ping.

Comment 4 Paul Lange 2010-06-03 16:24:36 UTC
Sorry for the long delay, didn't have much time.

Recently pinta upstream got autotools support. I think it would be clever to wait for the next release? Comments?

Anyway, I'm not a bash pro, how do I correctly escape "$@"?

If you think it is better to wait a new upstream release (the one that will use autotools) then you must mark this bug as NotReady:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process#The_Whiteboard

Anyway I would at least make a release to fix the aforementioned problems (so that they are not forgotten).

Comment 6 Paul Lange 2010-07-07 20:41:19 UTC
0.4 is out. Pakcaging should be much easier with the new version.
I will update the review as soon as bug #612233 is resolved which stops us from compiling pinta 0.4.

Comment 7 Paul Lange 2010-07-29 11:21:09 UTC
I updated the package to 0.4 and also fixed all problems mentioned above.

See:
http://palango.fedorapeople.org/pinta/pinta.spec
http://palango.fedorapeople.org/pinta/pinta-0.4-1.fc13.src.rpm

test build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2356648

Comment 8 Andrea Musuruane 2010-07-29 14:06:58 UTC
* I suggest you to use desktop-file-validator instead of desktop-file-install if no modification in the desktop file are needed:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage

* Anyway, I see from the koji build that there is a warning in the desktop file that must be fixed: 'warning: key "MimeType" is a list and does not have a semicolon as trailing character, fixing'. Please report this problem upstream.

* If an application installs icons into one of the subdirectories in %{_datadir}/icons/ (such as hicolor), icon caches must be updated so that the installed icons show up in menus right after package installation:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache

* Any relevant documentation included in the source distribution should be included in the package (e.g. readme.txt, todo.txt):
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation

* If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text

* You must keep a changelog even if this package is still being reviewed.

* You must BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage

* You must fix directory ownership. The package must Requires: hicolor-icon-theme.

* Debian and upstream have some bugfixing patches available:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-cli-apps/packages/pinta.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;h=599486d6fcdcf4efec772299dc51b0179a77411a;hb=HEAD
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta

I just had a quick look at the spec file. I still have to play with it deeply.

Comment 9 Paul Lange 2010-07-29 16:29:13 UTC
Thanks for the fast look at this Andrea!

I fixed all problems, hope thats fine now:
http://palango.fedorapeople.org/pinta/pinta.spec

build:

Comment 10 Andrea Musuruane 2010-07-30 14:58:17 UTC
* It seems the koji build has not been done with the uploaded spec file because I see you used desktop-file-install in the koji build and desktop-file-validate in the spec file.

* The license file "license-pdn.txt" is missing among docs.

* All patches in Fedora spec files SHOULD have a comment above them about their upstream status. Any time you create a patch, it is best practice to file it in an upstream bug tracker, and include a link to that in the comment above the patch.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#All_patches_should_have_an_upstream_bug_link_or_comment


This was still another quick glance. I hope to have a closer look next weekend.

> http://palango.fedorapeople.org/pinta/pinta-0.4-2.fc13.src.rpm

* This SRPM has not the above SPEC file in it.

* If I use the above SPEC file instead, the build will fail because your patch for fixing the mime types in the desktop file is wrong.

The problem in the desktop file is that there is a semicolon missing at the end of the entry "...;image/openraster" -> "...;image/openraster;". You removed all the semicolons instead.

* Moreover your patches should have the package name in it. Usually something like pinta-0.4-desktop-file-mime-list.patch or pinta-desktop-file-mime-list.patch.

* After fixing the above bug and installing the rpm I hit another problem. The /usr/bin/pinta file has the following content:

#!/bin/sh 
exec /usr/bin/mono /usr/lib/pinta/Pinta.exe "$@"

As you can see there is not way that this will work on 64 bits architectures because they use lib64 instead of lib. Please fix this issue in %prep.

* %define installdir %{_libdir} is not needed and must be removed.

Comment 13 Paul Lange 2010-08-07 11:13:34 UTC
this was a wrong build, this one is the correct:

Comment 14 Ismael Olea 2010-08-18 14:40:47 UTC
Paul:

if it helps, you can borrow some ideas from CJ spec, which is Mono based too: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/chronojump/devel/chronojump.spec?revision=1.4&view=markup

Comment 15 Robert Scheck 2010-08-30 23:13:08 UTC
Any news here? In the meantime, pinta 0.6 got released by the way. And is there
any help needed? I played with pinta 0.4 a bit and it seems to satisfy my needs.

I can't see the release of pinta 0.6 anywhere.

BTW, I wanted to review this, but I'm really busy right now. If someone else wants to step in, please do!

Comment 17 Paul Lange 2010-10-14 12:59:17 UTC
Doesn't seem like 0.6 is already out.

Is there anyone who can finish the review. I'd really appreciate that!

Comment 18 Andrea Musuruane 2010-11-20 14:15:02 UTC
Pinta 0.5 has been release on November 2nd, 2010. Please update your package. I'll try to review it after that.

Comment 19 Paul Lange 2010-11-30 17:22:25 UTC
I updated the package but unfortunately I get an error and can't find information about it:

+ desktop-file-validate /home/paul/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/pinta-0.5-1.fc14.i386//usr/share/applications/pinta.desktop
/home/paul/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/pinta-0.5-1.fc14.i386//usr/share/applications/pinta.desktop: error: file contains at least one line ending with a carriage return, while lines should only be separated by a line feed character. First such line is: "[Desktop Entry]"

Does anyone has an idea on how to solve this?

Comment 20 gatlibs 2010-11-30 19:14:26 UTC
Did you use an editor that uses non-unix carriage returns? Windows or OS X style, perhaps?

Comment 21 Paul Lange 2010-11-30 23:05:32 UTC
No, this happens with the original tarball from the website.

Try this in %prep:

All the reported rpmlint errors and warnings must be corrected to pass the package review. 

It is up to you to wait for upstream to fix them or fix them yourself in the spec file. I suggest you the latter but if you want to wait for upstream please put add NotReady to the Whiteboard field and remove it only after these problems will be solved.

=== Issues ===
1. Please do not reference Paint.NET in the description:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Trademarks_in_Summary_or_Description

2. Macros are not used consistently. You used %{__sed} and make (not %{__make}). Just use the short form. Command macros are more readable in this way.

3. chmod -x pinta.1 in %prep and not pinta.1.gz in %install

4. Use %global instead of %define.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#.25global_preferred_over_.25define

5. When adding file copying commands in the spec file, consider using a command that preserves the files' timestamps, eg. cp -p or install -p. 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Timestamps

Items 1 to 4 are mandatory, otherwise the package is in quite good shape. Good work!

Comment 29 Paul Lange 2010-12-08 19:47:03 UTC
Thanks a lot for the review!

1 to 4 are resoloved. However I cannot find any cp in the spec file, so I have no idea on how to solve 5.

That's because autotools use install and not cp :-) Try running %configure this way (I haven't test it but it should work):

%configure INSTALL="install -p"

If you want you can solve 5 before importing pinta in git. The package for me is fine.

APPROVED!

New Package SCM Request
=======================
Package Name: pinta
Short Description: An easy to use drawing and image editing program
Owners: palango
Branches: f14
InitialCC:

Comment 32 Robert Scheck 2010-12-08 22:51:36 UTC
I would say, it should be

  make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} INSTALL='install -p'

rather

  %configure INSTALL="install -p"

in the *.spec file.

Comment 33 Jens Petersen 2010-12-09 00:44:51 UTC
Git done (by process-git-requests).

Comment 34 Paul Lange 2010-12-09 13:15:44 UTC
Pinta is now available in devel.

Thanks to everyone who helped!
