The strange permissions are a relic of my umask of 027. When put into git and the lookaside, they get the proper 644 (git only tracks +x or -x and the lookaside has 644). > [-] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. > > There is apparently some pretty good voodoo in ghc-rpm-macros.

As-is, I'd say that this .spec > file is not legible to someone without an existing ghc background. The spec magic is standard ghc-rpm-macros voodoo. The bulk of it is generated by the cabal2spec tool. The ghc_lib_package macro is in the following file: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ghc-rpm-macros.git;a=blob;f=ghc-rpm-macros.ghc %files is generated by grepping the cabal file for the license file that gets installed and adding it to %doc. It also makes the information for the -devel and -prof (which is akin to a -debuginfo of sorts) packages. Haskell is predictable since cabal standardizes many things and the directories and such are generated given %{pkg_name} and %{version}. > [?] MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library > files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must > call ldconfig in %post and %postun. > > Is it fair to say that this doesn't apply to > /usr/lib64/ghc-6.12.3/csv-0.1.1/libHScsv-0.1.1-ghc6.12.3.so? The ghc_lib_package runs the ghc-pkg recache which registers the library with ghc's linking. > [?] MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec > file's %files listings. > > I'm assuming that ghc-rpm-macros enforces this, but I have no easy way of > knowing. Legibility is not there. rpm -qlp ghc-csv-*.<arch>.rpm The COPYING file should be in there. > [-] MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly.

Haskell is a statically built language for some things. Hopefully ghc-7.0 will help get us proper shared libraries across the board.

When put into git and > the lookaside, they get the proper 644 (git only tracks +x or -x and the > lookaside has 644). Git and lookasides are nice, but from a package review standpoint I'm only interested in the file permissions that wind up on user's hard drives. I find no suitable guidance in the FHS at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ Looking at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#File_Permissions tells me that only file permissions must be set "properly." I cannot think of any realistic instance where this would cause improper behavior and it can only affect developers in any event, so I'll concede that it's a style issue instead of "improper." I'd prefer to see you reset the tarball and .spec file permissions to "typical" 0644 values before building the package, but I won't block on it. > > [-] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. I just stumbled upon https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Haskell and it satisfies my concerns. I would prefer to see that link as a comment within the .spec file, but I won't block on it either. APPROVED.

Thanks for your good comments and input. > Since ghc-csv-prof is a profiling package, I assume that its errors and > warnings are irrelevant. A comment to this effect in the .spec would be nice. Good point: we should document that in the fedora wiki and add a link to our spec files. > [-] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. > > There is apparently some pretty good voodoo in ghc-rpm-macros.

Agreed - ditto as above. > I'm assuming that ghc-rpm-macros enforces this, but I have no easy way of > knowing. Legibility is not there. Not obvious again but you can see the filelists on the src build dir. > ghc-csv-devel contains /usr/lib64/ghc-6.12.3/csv-0.1.1/libHScsv-0.1.1.a; I'm > unsure if this is qualifies as a static library. It does unfortunately but ghc still assumes static libs by default so they can't be subpackaged yet.
