Description Guido Grazioli 2010-05-10 13:25:26 UTC
Spec URL: 
http://guidograzioli.fedorapeople.org/packages/objenesis/objenesis.spec
SRPM URL: 
http://guidograzioli.fedorapeople.org/packages/objenesis/objenesis-1.2-1.fc14.src.rpm
Description: 
Java supports dynamic instantiation of classes using Class.newInstance(). 
However, this only works if the class has an appropriate constructor. There 
are many times when a class cannot be instantiated this way, such as when 
the class contains:
* Constructors that require arguments.
* Constructors that have side effects.
* Constructors that throw exceptions.
As a result, it is common to see restrictions in libraries stating that 
classes must require a default constructor. Objenesis aims to overcome these 
restrictions by bypassing the constructor on object instantiation.
Needing to instantiate an object without calling the constructor is a fairly 
specialized task, however there are certain cases when this is useful:
* Serialization, Remoting and Persistence - Objects need to be instantiated 
  and restored to a specific state, without invoking code.
* Proxies, AOP Libraries and Mock Objects - Classes can be subclassed without 
  needing to worry about the super() constructor.
* Container Frameworks - Objects can be dynamically instantiated in 
  non-standard ways.

Comment 1 Alexander Kurtakov 2010-11-18 20:39:34 UTC
Guido,
Do you still want someone to do the review?

Comment 2 Guido Grazioli 2010-11-18 21:15:05 UTC
Sure, objenesis 1.2 is still the latest release, but the specfile needs updates for the brand new guidelines and i dont know if it currently builds on rawhide as i only use it on a f13. Will follow up as soon i have things sorted

Comment 4 Alexander Kurtakov 2011-01-18 08:02:30 UTC
Few comments:
* Drop buildroot
* Drop clean section
* Don't install versioned jars
* Do we really need maven2-settings.xml and all the sed edits?
* Does it build with maven 3? If yes please switch to using it.

ok i did a major cleanup of the specfile and tested the build with maven3, which completed successfully:

(maven2 is still pulled in the package sack for some dependency though)

Comment 6 Alexander Kurtakov 2011-02-17 18:47:30 UTC
I'll do this one.

Package Review
==============

Key:
- = N/A
x = Check
! = Problem
? = Not evaluated

=== REQUIRED ITEMS ===
[x]  Rpmlint output:
objenesis.noarch: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US newInstance -> new Instance, new-instance, instance
objenesis.noarch: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US subclassed -> subclasses, sub classed, sub-classed
objenesis.noarch: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/maven/fragments/objenesis
Not a problem
[x]  Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines[1].
[x]  Spec file name must match the base package name, in the format %{name}.spec.
[x]  Package meets the Packaging Guidelines[2].
[x]  Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms.
[x]  Buildroot definition is not present
[x]  Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging Guidelines[3,4].
[!]  License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
License type: MIT in spec, ASL 2.0 actually
[-]  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 is included in %doc.
[-]  All independent sub-packages have license of their own
[x]  Spec file is legible and written in American English.
[-]  Sources used to build the package matches the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL.
[x]  All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines[5].
[x]  Package must own all directories that it creates.
[x]  Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
[x]  Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
[x]  Permissions on files are set properly.
[x]  Package does NOT have a %clean section which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT). (not needed anymore)
[x]  Package consistently uses macros (no %{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mixing)
[x]  Package contains code, or permissable content.
[x]  Fully versioned dependency in subpackages, if present.
[-]  Package contains a properly installed %{name}.desktop file if it is a GUI application.
[x]  Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.
[x]  Javadoc documentation files are generated and included in -javadoc subpackage
[x]  Javadocs are placed in %{_javadocdir}/%{name} (no -%{version} symlinks)
[x]  Packages have proper BuildRequires/Requires on jpackage-utils
[x]  Javadoc subpackages have Require: jpackage-utils
[x]  Package uses %global not %define
[x]  If package uses tarball from VCS include comment how to re-create that tarball (svn export URL, git clone URL, ...)
[-]  If source tarball includes bundled jar/class files these need to be removed prior to building
[x]  All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.
[x]  Jar files are installed to %{_javadir}/%{name}.jar (see [6] for details)
[x]  If package contains pom.xml files install it (including depmaps) even when building with ant
[x]  pom files has correct add_to_maven_depmap call which resolves to the pom file (use "JPP." and "JPP-" correctly)

=== Maven ===
[x]  Use %{_mavenpomdir} macro for placing pom files instead of %{_datadir}/maven2/poms
[!]  If package uses "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" explain why it was needed in a comment!
Please comment
[-]  If package uses custom depmap "-Dmaven2.jpp.depmap.file=*" explain why it's needed in a comment
[x]  Package uses %update_maven_depmap in %post/%postun
[x]  Packages have Requires(post) and Requires(postun) on jpackage-utils (for %update_maven_depmap macro)

=== Other suggestions ===
[x]  If possible use upstream build method (maven/ant/javac)
[x]  Avoid having BuildRequires on exact NVR unless necessary
[x]  Package has BuildArch: noarch (if possible)
[x]  Latest version is packaged.

=== Issues ===
1. License field in the spec is wrong.
2. Please comment why tests are skipped
3. Please mvn-rpmbuild instead of mvn-local it is supposed to exactly what we need for rpm builds.

Comment 11 Jason Tibbitts 2011-02-24 18:26:38 UTC
This ticket is not assigned to anyone.  It should be assigned to the reviewer.

Please fix and re-raise the fedora-cvs flag.

Comment 12 Alexander Kurtakov 2011-02-24 18:35:56 UTC
Sorry about that, I forgot to assign the bug to me.

Comment 13 Guido Grazioli 2011-02-24 19:37:00 UTC
It passed unnoticed under my eyes too, sorry for that.
