Convert Report Markup Language (RML) files to PDF.

This is a compat package for programs which still need the 1.2 version.

Comment 1 Jos de Kloe 2013-02-14 14:42:32 UTC
I think it's good to refer to your previous (approved) version here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531544
(just for convenience of the reader)

Did you already report the incorrect-fsf-address issue upstream? (I could not find that in your previous review request).

Comment 2 Cristian Ciupitu 2013-02-15 00:21:32 UTC
There's no proper upstream unfortunately, but Satchmo needs it and has a "mirror" for it and this is what this package has.

I can write a patch for the new address if needed.

Comment 3 Jos de Kloe 2013-02-17 21:40:28 UTC
I believe this rpmlint rule was mostly intended to urge us packagers to motivate upstream authors to do the correct thing here.
Therefore I don't think adding a patch is very useful in case there is no active upstream developer.

Comment 4 Jason Tibbitts 2013-05-20 23:45:12 UTC
Not sure why this is still sitting here after a year.  The original spec could use some cleanup for modern packaging guidelines (no BuildRoot:, buildroot cleaning in %install, or %defattr).  In addition, the spec for this package needs an update as the original package is at a different release.  Finally, I think the Obsoletes: is wrong, because it wouldn't obsolete the 1.2-3 release.  It should have been:
  Obsoletes:      python-trml2pdf < 1.2-4
but of course that would need changing now.

Comment 5 Cristian Ciupitu 2013-05-22 20:10:38 UTC
I have fixed the SPEC. The new version is available at:

Comment 6 Mario Blättermann 2013-06-02 14:30:45 UTC
The spec file link is not usable. Please use a location which is directly downloadable, such as your Fedorapeople webspace, Dropbox or anything else. Or at least, the raw file link from GitHub:
https://raw.github.com/ciupicri/rpmbuild/rename-egg/SPECS/python-trml2pdf12.spec

The python-imaging package is actually deprecated, it is only provided virtually by python-pillow (and python3-pillow appropriately). Make sure your package works with Pillow. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Pillow for more information. There's an example patch which I've got last year for one of my packages (bug #895783).

Comment 7 Jos de Kloe 2013-06-19 13:33:11 UTC
Apart from Mario's comment (nice to see you are still involved Mario) the review tool called like this:
   /bin/fedora-review -b 821455 -m fedora-18-x86_64 -r
runs fine. This way it uses the spec file from the srpm package.

However, it also detects that the source code in your package differs from upstream. When checked manually it appears to be a similar problem, i.e. http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-modules/packages/python-trml2pdf/trunk/debian/trml2pdf.1 does not download the man page itself, but only an html file that points to the man page.
The actual link is:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-modules/packages/python-trml2pdf/trunk/debian/trml2pdf.1?revision=2936&view=co

This is not a blocking issue for reviewing, but still rather awkward, since it causes unneeded extra work for the reviewer. Next time please make sure the url's point to the actual files.

Once you fixed the pillow issue, I'll be happy to do the review.

Comment 8 Cristian Ciupitu 2013-06-20 13:42:09 UTC
I've fixed the URL for Source1, thanks for telling me about it.
I'll do the Pillow thing later.

Comment 9 Jos de Kloe 2013-10-10 12:20:48 UTC
Hi Christian,

I'm sorry for the delay. Today I looked  again at your review request, and still have some problems.

The command:
  fedora-review -b 821455 -m fedora-rawhide-x86_64
now indeed finds the spec file and runs, but it ends with this error:

chmod: cannot access '/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-trml2pdf12-1.2-5.fc21.x\
86_64//usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/TRML2PDF-1.0-py2.7.egg/trml2pdf/t
rml2pdf.py': Not a directory

which is correct, because this is a file not a directory:
/var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/root/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-trml2\
pdf12-1.2-5.fc21.x86_64/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/TRML2PDF-1.0-py2.7.egg

this egg file in fact is a zip file that does contain trml2pdf/trml2pdf.py

On the other hand, when using F18 or F19 as target the review tool seems to run to completion:
   fedora-review -b 821455 -m fedora-18-x86_64
   fedora-review -b 821455 -m fedora-19-x86_64
both run fine.

It seems to me the default behaviour of easy_install has changed in rawhide. In F18 and F19 the egg file is automatically extracted/unzipped, but in rawhide this no longer happens. Maybe adding the easy_install commandline option --always-unzip could help here?

Anyway, it is not really clear to me why you wish to use the easy_install tool to do the build and installation. Just plainly using the setup script seems easier to me (and probably would not have this issue).

Just adding
   %{__python} setup.py build
to the %build section, and
   %{__python} setup.py install --skip-build --root %{buildroot}
to the %install section of the spec file should do the trick.

Apart from this, the review tool complains that the spec file you provide differs from the spec file included in the srpm. Please fix this.

The rpmlint results reported by the review tool are:

so these are still the same.

Comment 12 Jos de Kloe 2013-10-12 14:36:21 UTC
Thanks for this new version, here is my review:

Issues:
=======

[!]: Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory names).
The two macro types $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and %{python_sitelib} are mixed in your
spec file. Please update it to use a single style, i.e. replace
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT by %{buildroot} as is detailed here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Using_.25.7Bbuildroot.7D_and_.25.7Boptflags.7D_vs_.24RPM_BUILD_ROOT_and_.24RPM_OPT_FLAGS

(note that this is not specified correctly in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Macros which gives several
wrong mixed style examples)

[!]: Package meets the Packaging Guidelines::Python
your use of %{__python} is deprecated. This should be replaced by %{__python2}.
see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Macros

Note: the word compatibilitxy in the %description section seems a typo to
me and should be compatibility I think.

The rpmlint issues have been discussed above in this bugreport and are no blocking issue.

The remark "Unknown or generated" in the license check refers to the string LGPL in the setup.py file. Fedora prefers to use LGPLv2+ in stead, but I feel this only applies to the spec file, so you don't need to patch the upstream sources to fix this.

Comment 13 Cristian Ciupitu 2013-10-13 12:59:56 UTC
I've fixed the issues.

Please note, that this package is a rename, so this section should be checked:

[-]: If the package is a rename of another package, proper Obsoletes and
     Provides are present.

Maybe I should add a comment in the SPEC or something.

SPEC: https://raw.github.com/ciupicri/rpmbuild/python-trml2pdf12/SPECS/python-trml2pdf12.spec

Comment 14 Jos de Kloe 2013-10-13 20:49:35 UTC
Thanks for pointing out the renaming issue, which obviously I overlooked in the above review, even though we discussed it before. Sorry about that.

The most recent version in rawhide of the python-trml2pdf package is 1.2.9.
(see https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/python-trml2pdf)
As is detailed in https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/171#comment:5 this package will be renamed to python-trml2pdf12 without changing it's content, to allow a possible creation of a subpackage by the openERP maintainer.
Therefore it should provide proper Obsoletes and Provides in the spec file.

Looking at the lines:
Provides:       python-trml2pdf = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes:      python-trml2pdf <= 1.2-9

and reading the rules in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages this seems correct to me.

Retesting the new srpm in mock the results seem just fine to me. Rerunning the fedora-review tool gives similar results to the review above. The rpmlint results do no longer complain about the spelling issue as expected:

Checking: python-trml2pdf12-1.2-13.fc21.noarch.rpm
          python-trml2pdf12-1.2-13.fc21.src.rpm
python-trml2pdf12.noarch: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/doc/python-trml2pdf12/LICENSE.txt
2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 0 warnings.

This error was discussed as well above, and since there is no upstream for this old source code I will not ask you to patch this address.

So looking at all this, I am happy with the result and this package is APPROVED.
