Pierre-Yves: if you are reviewing, please set the fedora review flag to ? and the bug status to ASSIGNED.

Comment 3 Frank Ch. Eigler 2011-01-18 23:24:09 UTC
Can you describe the possible contribution of this small library to the fedora collection?  Do we have applications in need of such a wrapper?

Comment 4 Frank Ch. Eigler 2011-01-18 23:28:03 UTC
(Also, are you familiar with mysql++, already included in fedora?)

the answer is code quality. currently only lacks prepared statement support.

mysql++ sucks

I normally do that when I am actually doing the review, here I only looked at the spec and the flag question.

are you going to review?

That was my idea, unless somebody takes it. But I wanted to learn first about the flag question.

dolphin-connector fails to build on koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2732783

Comment 11 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-01-20 09:38:09 UTC
ok so the flag question is not a review blocker, I therefore will do the review (once it builds on koji)

Comment 15 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-01-20 14:46:49 UTC
Legend:
* OK
! Not OK
- Not Applicable

* rpmlint must be run on every package.
  3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
* The package follows the Package Naming Guidelines.
* The spec file name matches the base package %{name}, in the format
   %{name}.spec
* The package meets the Packaging Guidelines.
* The package is licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing
  Guidelines.
    License BSD
* The License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
* The source package includes the text of the license(s)and the package 
  includes it in %doc.
* The spec file is written in American English.
* The spec file for the package MUST be legible.
- The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as 
  provided in the spec URL.
    source from the src.rpm: c02c178324466f6054e5893d0cac251d
    Procedure described to generate the sources is clean
* The package successfully compiles and build into binary rpms on at least one 
  primary architecture.
    koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2733125
- If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an
  architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in 
  ExcludeArch.
* All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that 
  are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion
  of those as BuildRequires is optional.
- The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the 
  %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.
* 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.
* Packages do NOT bundle copies of system libraries.
- If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this 
  fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation 
  of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a 
  blocker.
* A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a 
  directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create 
  that directory.
* Package does not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files 
  listings. 
* Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with 
  executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a 
  %defattr(...) line.
* Each package consistently uses macros.
* The package contains code, or permissable content.
- Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage.
* Files included something as %doc, do not affect the runtime of the 
  application.
* Header files are in a -devel package.
- Static libraries must be in a -static package.
* Package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), library 
  files that end in .so (without suffix) are in a -devel package.
* Devel packages requires the base package using a fully versioned dependency: 
  Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}.
* Packages do NOT contain any .la libtool archives.
- Packages containing GUI applications includes a %{name}.desktop file, and 
  that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the 
  %install section.
* Packages do not own files or directories already owned by other packages.
* All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.


So this package is APPROVED.

Comment 16 Pierre-YvesChibon 2011-01-20 14:51:11 UTC
btw http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Compiler_flags mentions that the rational to change the compipler flags should be documented in the spec. I trust you can do this before importing into git :)

sure! :)

Comment 18 William Lima 2011-01-20 15:43:33 UTC
I'll compile with '-fexceptions'.

Comment 19 Frank Ch. Eigler 2011-01-20 16:41:17 UTC
Under http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines, "Legal",
it says:

# Packages which are not useful without external bits [...]
# This also means that packages which are not functional or useful without code
# or packages from third-party sources are not acceptable for inclusion in 
# Fedora. 

Does this mean that a library without actual applications/users is not
itself eligible for fedora?

Comment 20 Jason Tibbitts 2011-01-20 17:19:20 UTC
Only if you try to twist the words into meaning that.
