Spec URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/gnome/compat-libgee06.spec SRPM URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/gnome/compat-libgee06-0.6.1-4.fc16.src.rpm Description: libgee 0.6.x, parallel-installable with the 0.7.x series now in Rawhide. Many dependent packages have not been updated for the new API, so this package would allow the Rawhide branch to be kept up-to-date while upstream transitions to the new API. ===== libgee is a collection library providing GObject-based interfaces and classes for commonly used data structures. libgee provides the following interfaces: * Iterable * Collection * List * Set * MultiSet * Queue * Deque * Iterator * Map * MultiMap The ArrayList, HashSet, HashMap, HashMultiSet, HashMultiMap, LinkedList, PriorityQueue, TreeSet, TreeMap, TreeMultiSet, and TreeMultiMap classes provide a reasonable sample implementation of those interfaces. In addition, a set of abstract classes are provided to ease the implementation of new collections. Around that, the API provide means to retrieve read-only views, efficient sort algorithms, simple, bi-directional or index-based mutable iterators depending on the collection type. libgee is written in Vala and can be used like any GObject-based C library. It's planned to provide bindings for further languages.
Koji scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3335214 (for Rawhide; so that parallel installation can be tested on the Rawhide test machine)
On Rawhide, pino, rygel etc. can now be installed, and compat-libgee06-devel and libgee-devel can be parallel-installed: $ rpm -q pino rygel compat-libgee06-devel libgee-devel pino-0.3-0.3.20101112hg.fc15.x86_64 rygel-0.11.3-1.fc17.x86_64 compat-libgee06-devel-0.6.1-4.fc17.x86_64 libgee-devel-0.7.0-1.fc17.x86_64
accidentally set the review flag; removing
Taking for review. Are there any guidelines which say how to name compat packages? Most of the parallel-installable libraries appear to just follow the libgee06 naming scheme (without the compat- prefix).
I'm not sure, and I'm fine with both naming schemes. I have the impression (I could be mistaken, though) that "compat-" indicates that an older version of the software is being packaged, while the lack of it indicates that it's a newer version? Version suffix only: ==================== python3 (newer than the default python 2.x) python26 (for RHEL; newer than stock Python) compat- + version suffix: ========================= compat-*gcc* -- older versions of the GCC compiler suite compat-db* -- older Berkeley DB versions compat-libstdc++ compat-readline5 but then again, as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name older openssl versions are packaged without the compat- prefix. So I'll probably rename this to just libgee06 -- could you review the package as is, with the rename coming later, or should I rename now?
Here is the renamed package: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/gnome/libgee06.spec http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/gnome/libgee06-0.6.1-4.fc15.src.rpm

Thanks! Here's the latest spec and SRPM, with the requested changes: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/gnome/libgee06.spec http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/gnome/libgee06-0.6.1-5.fc15.src.rpm - tabs converted to spaces - dropped manual Requires: pkgconfig for -devel - remove unnecessary buildroot and defattr lines - remove language bindings reference from description
Thanks, looks good. There's still one more unnecessary defattr() in -devel file list, which you could just remove before importing to git. APPROVED
Good point; will do. Thanks! New Package SCM Request ======================= Package Name: libgee06 Short Description: GObject collection library Owners: salimma Branches: InitialCC:

(In reply to comment #11) > Summary and SCM request package names don't match. Please correct. Jon, the SCM request name is correct; summary is outdated. I've fixed it now.
