Spec URL: http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-Twitter.spec SRPM URL: http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-Twitter-3.13006-1.fc13.src.rpm Description: This is my first package so I'm seeking a sponsor for it. Net::Twitter is a Perl API to Twitter. In order to get this to build, I had to rebuild Net::OAuth (perl-Net-OAuth) for version 1.27. I've put the SPEC and SRPM for that here: http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-OAuth.spec http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-OAuth-0.27-3.fc13.src.rpm Not sure if I need to open a separate bugzilla issue for that.
(unofficial) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines rpmlint perl-Net-Twitter.spec perl-Net-Twitter.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Net/Net-Twitter-3.13006.tar.gz HTTP Error 404: Not Found 0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings. error: Failed build dependencies: perl(Net::OAuth) >= 0.25 is needed by perl-Net-Twitter-3.13006-1.fc13.noarch dependencies need to be available from repo or possibly as a package being reviewed (I think). Maybe put in a bug report to have that package updated.
Fixed; I had a bad URL in the specfile. I also took the liberty of bumping to perl-Net-Twitter-3.13007. So, revised URLs: Spec: http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-Twitter.spec SRPM: http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-Twitter-3.13007-1.fc13.src.rpm I've also filed bug 619644 to get perl-Net-OAuth bumped to something usable.
www.aquezada.com does not respond for me; I cannot fetch the srpm to have a look at this package.
I don't see this problem; my webhost is up for me. The following URLs return data: SPEC: http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-Twitter.spec SRPM: http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/devel/fedora/perl-Net-Twitter-3.14002-1.fc14.src.rpm Note that I've bumped this to version 3.14002 since it's been a while and a new version was released.
I'm able to fetch the spec and srpm, but I found some issues (bear with me, this is a prereview, to determine my level of cluelessness): download url is incorrect- although a converging-on-pi version was uploaded to cpan, it isn't in the by-name area in the repository. For the review, I set it to: Source0: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MM/MMIMS/Net-Twitter-%{version}.tar.gz The build then failed a few times for me using mock and fc-14 x86_64 as a target. * requested perl-Net-OAuth version doesn't exist yet (have 0.19, calls for 0.25) * build fails during test target over missing Test::Exception module * once that's added I got: Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/perl-Net-Twitter-3.14002-1.fc14.x86_64 error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /builddir/.cpan/build/Module-Build-0.3607-yl9YyP/t/install_test18260/foo/bar/Simple.pm /builddir/.cpan/build/Module-Build-0.3607-yl9YyP/t/install_test18260/foo/base/bin/script /builddir/.cpan/build/Module-Build-0.3607-yl9YyP/t/install_test18260/foo/base/html/lib/Simple.html /builddir/.cpan/build/Module-Build-0.3607-yl9YyP/t/install_test18260/foo/base/html/site/lib/Simple.html /builddir/.cpan/build/Module-Build-0.3607-yl9YyP/t/install_test18260/foo/base/lib/perl5/Simple.pm so it looks like Module::Build is another missing build dependency. There were also a bunch of other cpan-related things added, so it looks like cpan is auto adding some other stuff as well (perl-version is one)
I've been waiting for the maintainer of Net::OAuth to upgrade to a supported version - bug 619644 was marked as CLOSED NEXTRELEASE but I still don't see it in F14.
Is someone still working on this? I need the Net::Twitter::Lite module and there doesn't seem to be an RPM for it currently. Any chance we'll get one in the near future?
(In reply to comment #7) > Is someone still working on this? I need the Net::Twitter::Lite module and > there doesn't seem to be an RPM for it currently. Any chance we'll get one in > the near future? Hi Steven, I would love to, but I need the maintainer of Net::OAuth to push the upgraded version before I can work on this further. See bug 619644.
It's been a year since I last checked in on this. Are we any closer to getting the Net::Twitter module for Fedora?
Steven, et. al: I'm ready to give this another shot. Here are the new spec and SRPM files: http://assets.juliandunn.net/fedorapkg/perl-Net-Twitter.spec http://assets.juliandunn.net/fedorapkg/perl-Net-Twitter-3.18001-1.fc16.src.rpm I've tested with mock, it seems okay now. Can someone review this and push it forward if it's good to go?
I'll do the review and possibly sponsor you once I'm happy with the package :)

Although they're somehow pulled in during the build now, it might not be the case in the future and they should be added. Namely: - perl(base), perl(lib), perl(Carp), perl(Encode), perl(HTTP::Response), perl(Net::Netrc), and perl(Time::HiRes) - perl(LWP::UserAgent) >= 5.819 (actually required in the code) TODO: BuildRoot tag and, buildroot removal in %install and the %clean section are all obsolete now and should be removed unless you plan to package this for EPEL. TODO: The same applies to %defattr in your $files section. TODO: rpmbuild tries to detect perl dependencies these days so you don't have to explicitly mention them in your Requires. Actually, having them there adds duplicates to the resulting RPM package dependencies. Please, remove those from your Requires: - perl(Data::Visitor::Callback), perl(Digest::SHA), perl(HTML::Entities), perl(HTTP::Request::Common), perl(JSON), perl(List::Util), perl(Moose::Exporter), perl(Moose::Role), perl(MooseX::Aliases), perl(MooseX::Role::Parameterized), perl(Scalar::Util), and perl(URI::Escape). - You also list dependencies only needed for build, those should be removed too: perl(Crypt::SSLeay) >= 0.5, perl(Digest::HMAC_SHA1), perl(File::Spec), perl(LWP::UserAgent) >= 2.032 - And finally, you should also remove underspecified autogenerated runtime dependencies from the resulting RPM package if you require specific versions in your package. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering for some info about this. You'll have to filter the following: perl(DateTime), perl(DateTime::Format::Strptime), perl(Devel::StackTrace), perl(Moose), perl(Net::OAuth), perl(Try::Tiny), and perl(URI) Those wouldn't normally block the review but since this is your first package, I'd like to see those fixed before getting further.

(In reply to comment #12) Hi Petr, I think I've fixed all these problems, and I have one question before asking for a re-review. To your last point about whether the package needs specific versions of runtime libraries: Is that something that I should infer from the software's Makefile.PL? The actual code doesn't "use" any particular versions of the libraries upon which it depends.

You should always inspect the code, the project Makefile.PL/Build.PL and META.* files before you decide. In this case, LWP::UserAgent 5.819 is used in tests so it should be buildrequired instead of 2.032 specified in Makefile.PL (and META.yml).
Ok. Thanks Petr. After reviewing the package I'm going to go with the assumption that I can use RPM's autorequires generator because I see nothing in the source code that insists on particular versions. Here's my updated spec and SRPM for a re-review: http://assets.juliandunn.net/fedorapkg/perl-Net-Twitter.spec http://assets.juliandunn.net/fedorapkg/perl-Net-Twitter-3.18001-2.fc16.src.rpm
Looking at the changes... You've added the required build time dependencies, including the optional ones. OK. You've removed %defattr, the BuildRoot tag, buildroot removal in %install but you've kept the %clean section. You could just drop it entirely. Sort of OK. About the runtime dependencies -- sadly, rpmbuild doesn't detect everything. It usually fails with 'use's and 'require's in indented blocks, for example. I see you've just removed them all. I think you're missing some deps now but I'll have to check that again... I usually respect the versions in Makefile/META since those are the versions the original author developed and tested the module with. However, as I said before, it's up to you :)
So, after going through the deps again, I see only perl(Net::Netrc) doesn't get autodetected and you should require it explicitly.
(In reply to comment #17) > So, after going through the deps again, I see only perl(Net::Netrc) doesn't get > autodetected and you should require it explicitly. I left that out deliberately since the author says reading credentials from .netrc is an optional feature; the "require" is wrapped in an "if" statement in the code. Do you think it should be included as a dep unconditionally? I'm happy to include it as an extra Requires if you think it makes sense.

If you think most users would benefit from it, it might be a good idea. Approving. (You should now submit an SCM request.)
