Spec file diff (upgrade from v2.18 to v2.19 and rename):
http://kzak.fedorapeople.org/review/2.18-to-2.19-spec.diff

Description: the upstream project has been renamed back to util-linux. Please, review changes in the spec file (especially proper Provides: and Obsoletes: setting). Thanks.

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2011-01-07 15:30:50 UTC
formal review is here, see the notes explaining OK* and BAD statuses below:

OK      source files match upstream:
            5dcb211602b1639a6cda5055f02245b8f94d0559  util-linux-2.19-rc1.tar.bz2
OK      package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
OK      specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
OK      dist tag is present.
OK      license field matches the actual license.
BAD     license is open source-compatible. License text included in package.
OK      latest version is being packaged.
OK      BuildRequires are proper.
OK      compiler flags are appropriate.
OK      package builds in mock (Rawhide/x86_64).
OK      debuginfo package looks complete.
BAD     rpmlint is silent.
BAD     final provides and requires look sane.
N/A     %check is present and all tests pass.
OK      shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths with proper scriptlets
OK      owns the directories it creates.
OK      doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
OK      no duplicates in %files.
OK      file permissions are appropriate.
OK      correct scriptlets present.
OK      code, not content.
OK      documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
OK      %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
OK      headers in -devel
OK      pkgconfig files in -devel
OK      no libtool .la droppings.
OK      not a GUI app.

- the uuidd, libmount, libblkid, libuuid subpackages must include their license text as %doc
- rpmlint throws a lot of warnings/errors, mostly can be ignored I think, but they deserve a review
- the compatibility Provides/Obsoletes should be cleaned up
    for the update path I suggest to use "Obsoletes: util-linux-ng < 2.19" (instead of < 2.18.1)

- you can drop the Buildroot tag and the clean section, they are not needed in recent Fedoras (and next RHEL)

 I fixed some warnings.

 Fixed.

 Fixed.

The rpm and spec at fedorapeople.org has been update. I have also added a new code for mtab to specfile. Please, review.

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2011-01-17 10:29:06 UTC
there are few issues remaining
- dracut contains "Requires: mount" and new util-linux doesn't provide that, will be fixed in dracut package
- the architecture list "sparc sparcv9 sparc64" should be replaced with %{sparc}
- the architecture list in "cytune_arch" should contain %{arm} instead of armv4l

Comment 4 Karel Zak 2011-01-17 11:13:19 UTC
Fixed and srpm and spec at fedorapeople.org updated.

Comment 5 Dan Horák 2011-01-17 11:15:40 UTC
All issues are fixed now, new dracut package is also built.

This package rename is APPROVED.

Comment 6 Karel Zak 2011-01-17 11:29:44 UTC
New Package SCM Request
=======================
Package Name: util-linux
Short Description: A collection of basic system utilities
Owners: kzak
Branches:
InitialCC:

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2011-01-18 07:31:14 UTC
For a retired/orphaned package you should use "Package SCM Request".
I untired the package, so you should be able to take ownership at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/util-linux .
If not please make a new SCM request, thanks.

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2011-01-18 07:46:00 UTC
> For a retired/orphaned package you should use "Package SCM Request".

Sorry "Package Change Request".

Comment 9 Karel Zak 2011-01-18 09:04:02 UTC
Package Change Request
======================
Package Name: util-linux

[rename util-linux-ng back to util-linux]

Comment 10 Jason Tibbitts 2011-01-18 14:02:18 UTC
I'm not sure what you're asking for here.  We do not rename packages; we just create a new package under the new name and let the package owner retire the old package.  However, util-linux already exists in pkgdb, so we can't just create it, and it's not even retired.

So I'm really not sure what you're asking us to do here.  Please describe in detail what operations you need an SCM admin to take for you and re-raise the fedora-cvs flag.

Comment 11 Karel Zak 2011-01-19 09:15:57 UTC
Sorry Jason, you're right. The git repository works as expected, so SCM request is unnecessary. Thanks.
