Description Adam Huffman 2011-04-09 14:00:21 UTC
Spec URL: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi.spec
SRPM URL: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi-0.060.8-1.fc14.src.rpm
Description: 
Yoshimi is a rewrite of ZynAddSubFx to improve its compatibility with
the Jack Audio Connection Kit.

ZynAddSubFX is an open source software synthesizer capable of making a
countless number of instrument sounds. It is microtonal, and the instruments
made by it sounds like those from professional keyboards. The program has
effects like Reverb, Echo, Chorus, Phaser...

rpmlint output:


yoshimi.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US microtonal -> micro tonal, micro-tonal, microtone
The value of this tag appears to be misspelled. Please double-check.

I believe the .bankdir file is needed, but will remove it if not.

> [!] The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license 
>  *** source includes header comments from ZynAddSubFX stating GPLv2+

The license situation is indeed pretty unclear here:
- files in src/DSP: licensed under GPLv2 only
- files in src/MusicIO and src/main.c: licensed under GPLv3+

Since GPLv2 and GPLv3+ are incompatible, the package can't be distributed this way. Adam, you should ask upstream to clarify the license and to update the copyright info in the source files accordingly.


> [!] A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's
> %files listings
>  *** You only require  %{_datadir}/%{name} - it encompasses sub-directories

Listing %{_datadir}/%{name}/banks/ and %{_datadir}/%{name}/presets/ separately is fine. %{_datadir}/%{name}/ would also be valid but has no advantages over the more explicit variant. Actually, being more explicit is usually better and might prevent packaging of unwanted files.


> [!] GUI apps must include a %{name}.desktop file, properly installed with
> desktop-file-install in the %install section 
>  *** Gnome uses "Comment" whereas KDE uses "GenericName". Should these be the
> same?

No. According to the desktop file spec (http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html), GenericName should describe the type of the application while Comment contains a toolip text. The spec says: "The value [of Comment] should not be redundant with the values of Name and GenericName." This wouldn't be a blocker, though.

Comment 4 Adam Huffman 2011-04-10 12:31:40 UTC
Thanks for taking a look.  New version including the doc files available at:

http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi.spec

http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi-0.060.8-2.fc14.src.rpm

I've posted a message to the yoshimi-user list asking about the clashing licences.

There is actually a desktop file that comes with it (I used one from Niels Mayer) with the following in those two fields:


Comment=Real Time Synthesizer
GenericName=Synthesizer

There's also a different icon file, which I might switch to (again in place of Niels' version).

Comment 5 Adam Huffman 2011-04-10 22:48:44 UTC
It appears the licence for the files derived from ZynAddSubFx should in fact be GPLv2 or later, as they were relicenced in 2007.  Once there's a new upstream release with this change, I'll update my RPM.

Comment 6 Adam Huffman 2011-04-11 20:39:34 UTC
New version incorporating latest upstream release which clarifies the licencing position (now GPLv2 or later) at:

http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi.spec

http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi-0.060.9-1.fc14.src.rpm

Comment 7 Martin Gieseking 2011-04-11 21:01:41 UTC
Thanks for clarifying the license issue. 
However, there are still some files under GPLv3+, so the resulting binary is under GPLv3+ as well (GPLv2+ and GPLv3+ = GPLv3+). Therefore, file COPYING should also contain the GPLv3 license text (currently still GPLv2). The latter isn't a blocker though, but please don't add COPYING to the package as long as it contains the wrong license text.

Comment 8 Adam Huffman 2011-04-11 21:27:26 UTC
I should notify upstream about this then?

Comment 9 Brendan Jones 2011-04-11 21:51:19 UTC
I've noticed Ubuntu packages this with a GPLv2+ with exceptions, the exceptions being all those file which are GPLv3. Not sure if this is correct or indeed any help here.

Comment 10 Martin Gieseking 2011-04-12 06:50:51 UTC
(In reply to comment #8)
> I should notify upstream about this then?

Yes, that would be nice. As long as the tarball is in its current state, just update the License field and drop COPYING for now. Once a new tarball with corrected license text is available, readd it.

(In reply to comment #9)
> I've noticed Ubuntu packages this with a GPLv2+ with exceptions, the exceptions

> help here.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the Ubuntu guidelines, but I doubt "GPLv2+ with exceptions" is correct. GPLv3+ is compatible with but more restrictive than GPLv2+. Since both licenses are part of the generated binary, we have to find the "intersection" of them. GPLv2+ intersected with GPLv3+ is GPLv3+ as the latter is some kind of "subset" of GPLv2+.
"GPLv2+ with exceptions" is reserved for special GPLv2+ variants with exception clauses in the source headers. See here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#SoftwareLicenses

Sorry Brendan, I didn't intend to hijack this ticket. If you'd like to do the formal review, please do so. :)

Comment 11 Brendan Jones 2011-04-12 07:04:59 UTC
No problem Martin, my knowledge of the GPL is not that crash hot. I'll defer to you on this one!

Comment 12 Adam Huffman 2011-04-17 17:39:08 UTC
New version with latest upstream which includes GPLv2 and v3 licence text in COPYING:

Hi Adam

I'll complete this for you. Before I complete the full review two things came up in rpmlint:

rpmlint /home/bsjones/rpmbuild/SRPMS/yoshimi-0.060.10-1.fc15.src.rpm

1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 2 errors, 3 warnings.

Comment 14 Adam Huffman 2011-06-08 22:48:31 UTC
Brendan,

Thanks for taking this on.  I wasn't quite sure what to do about the .bankdir file - is it necessary for yoshimi to use preset banks properly?  So, I'll contact upstream about it.  I will fix the second error too.

Comment 15 Brendan Jones 2011-08-28 09:35:04 UTC
Hi Adam,

I was rebuilding this for rawhide and found that it failed with fltk-1.3. I'll attach a patch for this.

Also, there is talk of a merge back with zyn given Cal's passing - not sure if you are aware of this. If not you might want to check with both project's developer lists for an update.

Let me know if/when you want me to proceed with the review as its pretty much there.

Brendan

Comment 17 Adam Huffman 2011-08-29 21:47:49 UTC
Brendan,

Many thanks for the patch, which I've applied to my local git repo.

I am on the mailing list and I've been following recent developments.

Will probably be next week before I can spend sufficient time on this - I'll send an update then.

Adam

Comment 18 Adam Huffman 2012-01-08 12:32:47 UTC
I'll upload a new version with the latest upstream changes later today.

Comment 20 Brendan Jones 2012-01-28 19:19:18 UTC
Sorry Adam, missed this completely. Only remembered your review just when I was about to recommend a patch upstream. Will finish this by the end of the weekend.

(you can always ping me if you haven't had a response in due course - I tend to use a 7 day rule)

cheers

Comment 21 Brendan Jones 2012-02-02 13:24:55 UTC
Hi Adam,

there's now a desktop icon file shipped with the tarrball that you can use. Also a desktop file that gets installed to. You may need to modify it for Fedora Multimedia menu categories with desktop-file-install

You also can pull the patch from the SRPM as it is no longer required.

regards,

Brendan

Comment 22 Brendan Jones 2012-02-19 13:05:29 UTC
Adam, I can take over this one if you would like?

Comment 23 Adam Huffman 2012-02-19 16:54:10 UTC
Brendan,

Apologies for the delay.

There's a new version at:

http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi.spec
http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi-0.060.12-2.fc16.src.rpm

Having a bit of trouble using the new desktop file.  I tried replacing the placeholders for Yoshimi version and the prefix in the spec, but it's clearly not working properly because the desktop-file-install invocation is failing, indicating that it's checking the original version.

Comment 24 Brendan Jones 2012-02-19 17:13:39 UTC
Aplogies, upstream has not packaged the .desktop file correctly (nothing in CmakeLists.txt for the desktop file - looks like the .desktop file was committed as a guide by someone who did not know how to integrate it into the build system)

Ship your original .desktop file, but use their icon

Comment 25 Adam Huffman 2012-02-20 14:08:35 UTC
Okay, so I wasn't going mad when I couldn't find any reference to the .desktop file in the CMake scripts then...

New version, with my .desktop file reinstated and using the upstream icon:

http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi.spec

http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/yoshimi/yoshimi-0.060.12-3.fc16.src.rpm

Comment 26 Brendan Jones 2012-02-20 14:29:56 UTC
Cool, almost there, Just remove the .bankdir from /usr/share/yoshimi/banks/chip/

Comment 27 Adam Huffman 2012-02-20 21:32:15 UTC
That should be fixed now, I haven't incremented the release number for such a minor change, so it's available at the same links.

Comment 30 Adam Huffman 2012-04-11 19:03:45 UTC
Will take a look this weekend.

Comment 31 Adam Huffman 2012-04-15 21:56:29 UTC
I would like to build this for EPEL5/6 if possible, so I'd prefer to keep the deprecated parts in.  Once it's in Fedora, I'll only put them in the relevant branches.

I've added the missing scriptlet.  There is now a new rpmlint complaint:


yoshimi-debuginfo.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/src/debug/yoshimi-0.060.12/src/DSP/Unison.h
The Free Software Foundation address in this file seems to be outdated or
misspelled.  Ask upstream to update the address, or if this is a license file,
possibly the entire file with a new copy available from the FSF.

Slightly odd that it would only show up in the debuginfo package.  I'll check into it and report to the yoshimi list if necessary.

I did try scratch builds a few weeks ago and there was a problem with the detection of FLTK.  The problem's still there, so I'll look into fixing it this coming week.  I'll also update to the latest upstream source.

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for the patch.  Unfortunately, it's still not building, so I'll have to look at this further.
