Description Rich Mattes 2011-01-25 02:35:26 UTC
Spec URL: http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/eigen3/eigen3.spec
SRPM URL: http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/eigen3/eigen3-3.0-0.1.beta2.fc14.src.rpm
Description: 
A lightweight C++ template library for vector and matrix math

Since the package is a template library and doesn't include any compiled code, it only includes a noarch -devel package.  I based it off of the specfile for the eigen2 package.

rpmlint output:
$ rpmlint eigen3.spec ../RPMS/noarch/eigen3*
eigen3-devel.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/include/eigen3/Eigen/src/Sparse/SparseAssign.h
1 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 0 warnings.

I think this error is alright, since another header file references it and removing the file would cause missing header errors.  I could also edit the header that references the empty file and remove the reference.

Comment 1 Susi Lehtola 2011-01-25 10:22:36 UTC
Don't build against reference BLAS. Use ATLAS instead.

Comment 2 Rich Mattes 2011-01-25 23:03:36 UTC
I modified the package to use the ATLAS BLAS instead of the reference one.  It shouldn't make much of a difference, since the BLAS libraries are only used in the unit tests (all this package installs are headers).  After switching to atlas I'm also getting intermittent unit test failures, there might be some kind of race condition going on.  Anyway, here's the updated spec and srpm.

Comment 3 Tim Niemueller 2011-03-26 17:04:27 UTC
Hi Rich, would you mind updating to the final release?

Comment 4 Rich Mattes 2011-03-27 00:14:23 UTC
No problem.  3.0.0 release can be found at:

Spec URL: http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/eigen3/eigen3.spec
SRPM URL:
http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/eigen3/eigen3-3.0.0-1.fc15.src.rpm

A couple of issues come with the 3.0.0 release:
1. Some of the test cases are broken.  I've disabled 'make check' for now.
2. gcc experiences an internal compiler error on f15.  I've reported it with bug 691133.  We'll probably need to wait for a resolution before this review can continue.

Comment 5 Tim Niemueller 2011-04-06 11:42:57 UTC
I'll review this as far as possible on F-14.

REVIEW:

Legend: + = PASSED, - = FAILED, 0 = Not Applicable

- rpmlint is not silent, some messages can be ignored:
eigen3.src: E: no-description-tag
eigen3.src:49: W: macro-in-comment %{_libdir}
eigen3.src:63: W: macro-in-comment %check
eigen3.src:64: W: macro-in-comment %{_target_platform}
eigen3.src: W: patch-not-applied Patch0: eigen3-fixdso.patch
eigen3-devel.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/include/eigen3/Eigen/src/Sparse/SparseAssign.h
  - The description tag should be set even though the main package is not installable. It can just be a copy of the -devel package
  - The macro warnings can be silenced by removing the %
  - The patch should be removed if not used
  - The zero size error should be discussed with upstream. It seems it is included in the core headers, but it does not appear to be auto-generated.

+ The package is named according to 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 meets the
Licensing Guidelines.
(+) The License field in the package spec file matches the actual license (GPLv2+ or LGPLv3+).
  - The website lists the given licenses, while the LICENSE.* files in the package mention GPLv3+ and LGPLv3+.
+ The file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package, is included
in %doc.
+ The spec file is written in American English.
+ The spec file for the package is legible.
+ The sources used to build the package, match the upstream source, as provided
in the spec URL.

I strongly recommend renaming the source file to contain the project name!

+ The package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least one
primary architecture.
  - No problems on F-14
  - On F-15 I needed to add "#include <cstddef>" to Eigen/src/StlSupport/details.h to define ptrdiff_t.

+ All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires.
0 No need to handle locales.
0 No shared library files.
+ The package does NOT bundle copies of system libraries.
+ The package is not designed to be relocatable.
+ The package owns all directories that it creates.
+ The package does not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files
listings.
+ Permissions on files are set properly.
+ The package has a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+ The package consistently uses macros.
  - You use both, $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and %{...} style macros. Since rpmdev-newspec creates spec files this way by default I deem this is acceptable, but you might consider deciding for one consistent style.

+ The package contains code, or permissible content.
+ No extremely large documentation files.
+ Anything, the package includes as %doc, does not affect the runtime of the
application.
+ Header-files are -devel subpackage
0 No static libraries.
+ pkg-config files are in -devel subpackage
  - If you intent to build the package for EPEL 5 the -devel package must depend on pkg-config
0 The package doesn't contain library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1).
+ The package does NOT contain any .la libtool archives.
0 Not a GUI application.
+ The package does not own files or directories already owned by other
packages.
+ At the beginning of %install, the package runs rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+ All filenames in rpm packages are valid UTF-8.

The package looks good. For this review to be approved please
- consider fixing or give reasons for not fixing the rpmlint warnings
- rename the source file to contain the package base name
- Add the required patch to get it to build on F-15, recheck #691133.

Comment 7 Rich Mattes 2011-04-24 04:27:57 UTC
Spec URL: http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/eigen3/eigen3.spec
SRPM URL:
http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/eigen3/eigen3-3.0.0-2.fc15.src.rpm

rpmlint: 
eigen3.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: eigen-3.0.0.tar.bz2
eigen3-devel.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/include/eigen3/Eigen/src/Sparse/SparseAssign.h
1 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 1 warnings.

The invalid source URL is because of the tarball rename.

The zero-length file was addressed in the first comment: I can remove it, but I would have to patch some other files to get rid of references to it.

I checked and the bug that was blocking this bug is no longer an issue as you pointed out.  I went ahead and closed it, so this review can continue.
