Spec URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/comoonics-base-py.spec SRPM URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/comoonics-base-py-0.1-6.fc15.src.rpm Description: Comoonics minimum base libraries written in Python. These base classes are used by other packages. Koji Rawhide Scratch Build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3465975 REVIEWER NOTE: In keeping with the Halloween season, I am brining this dead.package back to life to resolve broken dependencies. It was marked as FTBFS, but it builds just fine. This should be a very quick review.
I have had a quick look at this package to try to do an informal review as part of my sponsorship process. From a visual check of the specfile I have found the following issues. 1) Url: should probably be URL: as it is more conventional and it's an acronym after all. 2) The first line in the specfile is %{!?python_sitelib: %global python_sitelib %(%{__python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()")} However, the from reading the python packaging guidelines (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python) it suggests to me that it should be the following is required. %if 0%{?rhel} <= 5 %{!?python_sitelib: %global python_sitelib %(%{__python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())")} %{!?python_sitearch: %global python_sitearch %(%{__python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib(1))")} %endif 3) Again, from reading the python packaging guidelines it suggests that the following should be used instead of BuildRequires: python-devel if targeting python 2 and 3. BuildRequires: python2-devel BuildRequires: python3-devel From running rpmlint on the src package. 1) The default file attribute should be set. comoonics-base-py.src:30: E: files-attr-not-set comoonics-base-py.src:31: E: files-attr-not-set comoonics-base-py.src:32: E: files-attr-not-set Add %defattr(-,root,root) as the first line in the %files section 2) No cleaning of build root in the %install section comoonics-base-py.src: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %install Add rm -rf %{buildroot} as the first line in the %install section 3) No clean section. comoonics-base-py.src: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %clean Add to the spec file the following lines. %clean rm -rf %{buildroot}

[+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. The library could be succesfully imported. >>> import comoonics [+] SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. [+] SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. [+] SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. [+] SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file instead of the file itself. [+] SHOULD: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed files.
Lawrence, thanks for the review. Please note the following: * It is no longer necessary to have an explicit %clean section simply to rm -rf %{buildroot}. This is the default in all active Fedora releases. * It is no longer necessary to explicitly rm -rf %{buildroot} as the first line of %install, this is the default in all active Fedora releases. * It is no longer necessary to explicitly state %defattr(-,root,root,-) in each %files section, this is the default in all active Fedora releases. * I have no intention of trying to support Python3 with this package at this time. * It is not necessary to have a definition for python_sitearch for a noarch python package. In fact, it isn't really necessary to have either definition in the spec as they are set by default in all active Fedora releases. I wonder if you were doing this on a RHEL system, since rpmlint on current Fedora releases (14+) shouldn't have thrown these warnings/errors.
Yes I was doing this on RHEL6. An have taken note of the items that are no longer required.
