Please fix your review summary:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#Create_Your_Review_Request

Also take a look at Packaging Guidelines:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines

* The Packager tag should not be used in spec files.
* The Vendor tag should not be used.

Do you plan to release an EPEL5 package? Read about BuildRoot tag.

Remove trousers explicit Require.

Why package INSTALL file?

Check "Parallel make" section under Guidelines too.

You should understand most of this process before ask for sponsoring...
so, let's read the docs :)

Thanks for you quick reply.  I fixed the errors in my local copy of the spec file, although I still don't see where the instructions say the Packager and Vendor tags should be omitted.  I ran rpmlint, and it didn't complain about the tags, or maybe it did, and I didn't understand the warning I received.

I don't understand what is wrong with my review summary.  I thought I was supposed to supply the name of the package followed by a hyphen and then the summary from the spec file.  Please tell me what I should have written.

I retracted the change to my configure.ac fill so that the %changelog entry differs from the ChangeLog.

I read the information.  Is this step blocked on me?  I didn't see what I was supposed to do except wait for someone to offer to be my sponsor.  If anything else is blocking on me now, please let me know.

Comment 12 John D. Ramsdell 2011-06-07 12:12:16 UTC
If you would like to read about a protocol and its analysis built on top of TPM Quote, check out http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ramsdell/papers/caves.pdf.  This paper describes a remote attestation protocol and shows it achieves its security goals.  The root of trust for reporting is a TPM, and the TPM Quote operation.  TPM Quote Tools provides the functionality needed to implement the attestation protocol.

Comment 13 John D. Ramsdell 2011-07-07 13:20:23 UTC
Is this task blocked on me?

> William can I sponsor John?

He needs to read the guidelines and docs on packaging. The spec isn't OK yet.
I can contact you when he's ready.

Comment 16 John D. Ramsdell 2011-07-08 12:28:32 UTC
Okay.  I reread the packaging guidelines and noticed I was using %makeinstall, but that's apparently that is a no no.  I've placed updated versions of the sources, spec, and source rpm on www.ccs.neu.edu.

By the way, once I figure out how to get the TPM Quote Tools package in the pipeline, I have another cool package ready to go.  It's a datalog interpreter.  I recently found out that Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse has been packaging it for OpenBSD, and at the same time, Georges Louis contacted me asking questions on how to embed it into a Python runtime system.  I guess people are using it.

Comment 17 William Lima 2011-07-08 13:28:04 UTC
John, please add links for new spec and srpm in comments when you change something.

Also fix your changelog. Take a look at the format example.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package

You should increase your release tag to 3.
There is no need to include "tpm-quote-tools.spec.in" on entries.

Comment 18 John D. Ramsdell 2011-07-08 14:00:11 UTC
The changelog entries have already been fixed.  Rpmlint and rpmbuild on FC15 were used.

The links are 

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ramsdell/tools/tpm-quote-tools.spec

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ramsdell/tools/tpm-quote-tools-1.0-1.src.rpm

I'll fix the release tag when I get a chance, but meetings are now taking over my day.

I'm not sure which entries you are referring to when you say including tpm-quote-tools.spec.in need not be done.  It gets put into the source distribution so that configure works.

I plan to create projects on SourceForge for both tpm-quote-tools and datalog.  The reason Jasper sent his message was to ding me for replacing source distributions rather than keeping old ones available.  I'm not sure how much space I'm allowed to use at NEU, so I delete old versions.  Package maintainers don't like that.

Comment 20 William Lima 2011-07-08 15:50:32 UTC
newer first.

your changelog should be like this:

* Fri Jul 8 2011 John D. Ramsdell <ramsdell> - 1.0-5
- Fixed changelog

* Fri Jul 8 2011 John D. Ramsdell <ramsdell> - 1.0-4
- Removed use of %makeinstall

* Thu Jun 2 2011 John D. Ramsdell <ramsdell> - 1.0-3
- Added %changelog

* Wed Mar 9 2011 John D. Ramsdell <ramsdell> - 1.0-2
- Fixed spec to meet Fedora standards.

* Wed Mar 9 2011 John D. Ramsdell <ramsdell> - 1.0-1
- Initial package

also don't put extra space between your name:

Wed Mar 9 2011"  John D. Ramsdell  "<ramsdell> 1.0-3

Comment 21 John D. Ramsdell 2011-07-08 17:22:38 UTC
I fixed the comment syntax and found the "secret" to getting the syntax right, at least for emacs users.  It's M-x rpm-add-change-log-entry.  It reads the release field and generates entire first line in the correct format.  I love not having to get those kinds of details right.  

The new files are:

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ramsdell/tools/tpm-quote-tools.spec

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ramsdell/tools/tpm-quote-tools-1.0-5.src.rpm

Thanks.

- Put link of gzip'ed tarball on Source0.
- I would change your Group tag to Applications/System.
- README says it requires tpm-tools. If so, add explicit require on tpm-tools.

Done

Done, but there is a problem.  See below.

> - I would change your Group tag to Applications/System.

Done.

I added a comment to the README that says when tpm-tools are needed.  You only need them to take ownership of a TPM.  TPM Quote Tools are used for attestation using an owned TPM.

Now on to the problem.  I set up a TPM Quote Tools project on SourceForge.  The sources are available by cloning the Git repository at http://sf.net/projects/tpmquotetools. I cannot figure out how to specify a URL to the source gzip'd tarball that doesn't time out.  Right now, the spec points to my NEU account, but I delete old versions due to disk space limitations.  Does anyone know how to specify a project URL that doesn't time out on SourceForge?

Comment 25 William Lima 2011-07-25 19:35:52 UTC
Your Source0 could be:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tpmquotetools/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

by the way, why are you using "tpmquotetools" instead of "tpm-quote-tools"
as project name under sf.net?

the gzip'ed tarball provided by sf.net differs from your latest srpm. why?

I thought project names usually don't have hyphens. Oh well...

> the gzip'ed tarball provided by sf.net differs from your latest srpm. why?

I think it's simply a matter of me screwing up.  In any case, here are the new files.

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ramsdell/tools/tpm-quote-tools.spec

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tpmquotetools/1.0.1/tpm-quote-tools-1.0.1-1.fc15.src.rpm

FYI, rpmlint does not like this URL.  It doesn't like 

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tpmquotetools/%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

either.

I take it back.  It does like this URL after one correctly sets ones proxy settings.  Sorry about that.

Comment 29 William Lima 2011-07-27 20:09:40 UTC

Dan,

Is there something I'm supposed to be doing?  I think the ball is in your court.  Please tell me if I'm wrong.

John

Comment 32 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-17 02:49:17 UTC
Sorry John, I asked in a private message what I am supposed to do now?  And no one responded.  I will ping the Fedora team.

Comment 33 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-09-20 18:50:39 UTC
Looks good. APPROVED.

I've also sponsored you John, be sure you follow all the steps from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#Install_the_Client_Tools_.28Koji.29 and below. If you have any questions on how to do things, please ask me or Dan.

Do you mean to use email or though this medium?  I'll gladly switch to email if that is what you meant.

In any event, I have two problems.  The browser certificate that was generated for me is not valid for unkown reasons according to firefox.  When I try to connect to koji, the certificate is not trusted.

I git committed and pushed an SRPM to pkg.fedoraproject.org, but when i attempt to build the package, koji cannot download the source tarball.  The error message is in this file:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3372665&name=root.log

I don't know what to do about this message.

Comment 37 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-09-23 17:33:22 UTC
If you run "fedora-packager-setup", it should generate a proper browser certificate, if that is failing, let me know.

It doesn't look like you uploaded the source tarball to the lookaside cache, try running:

fedpkg new-sources tpm-quote-tools-1.0.1.tar.gz

(with that tarball present in the git checkout dir)

And with this advice, we have a system that builds.

I tried running "fedora-package-setup" yet again, but the cert is still not valid.  It may have something to do with the fact that yesterday, I was trying to do this work behind a firewall, and something broke.  For example, "fedpkg clone" doesn't work.  I've learned to do this task at home.
