Description Andrew Colin Kissa 2011-06-26 08:33:10 UTC
Spec URL: http://topdog-software.com/oss/SRPMS/fedora/python-multiprocessing/python-multiprocessing.spec
SRPM URL: http://topdog-software.com/oss/SRPMS/fedora/python-multiprocessing/python-multiprocessing-2.6.2-1.src.rpm
Description: The multiprocessing package itself is a renamed and updated
version of R Oudkerk's pyprocessing package. This standalone
variant is intended to be compatible with Python 2.4 and 2.5,
and will draw it's fixes/improvements from python-trunk.

Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2012-07-01 00:02:03 UTC
Andrew, are you still interested in maintaining this package? If so I can take the review.

Comment 2 Andrew Colin Kissa 2012-07-02 06:26:19 UTC
Yes, please i need this to get python-celery into EPEL5

Comment 3 Dan Callaghan 2012-07-06 00:18:55 UTC
This looks pretty good Andrew. A few issues:

* Version should be 2.6.2.1 since that is what upstream calls it.

* I see in the build output GCC complains about bunch of strict aliasing violations. You should probably add -fno-strict-aliasing in CFLAGS (or patch the strict aliasing violations :-)

* There are a bunch of example files installed into site-packages. It looks like they are also installed in %doc. And presumably they are not needed for the library to work. So these should be rm'ed in %install.

* rpmlint has a few legitimate complaints:

python-multiprocessing.x86_64: E: non-standard-executable-perm /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/multiprocessing/_mmap25.so 0775L
python-multiprocessing.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/multiprocessing/tests.py 0644L /usr/bin/env
python-multiprocessing.x86_64: E: non-standard-executable-perm /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/multiprocessing/_multiprocessing.so 0775L

I'm not sure how those shared libraries ended up 0775. Maybe it is just an oddity of my mock configuration. But if the same thing happens in Koji then you could chmod them in %install.

For multiprocessing/tests.py in %install you should either remove the shebang, or change the shebang to #!/usr/bin/python and chmod it to 0755, or just rm the file entirely if it's not needed.

Comment 5 Dan Callaghan 2012-08-08 06:13:25 UTC
Looks good, Andrew. The only remaining issue is that the version should be 2.6.2.1 to match upstream. If you can fix that up then this can be approved.

Complete checklist follows:
