Spec URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-MARC-XML/perl-MARC-XML.spec SRPM URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-MARC-XML/perl-MARC-XML-0.93-1.fc17.src.rpm Description: Hi, I'm in the process of packaging dependencies for the Evergreen library system (http://evergreen-ils.org) in the hopes that one day we will be able to install Evergreen via yum. This package is one of the core requirements for library systems as it deals with an XML serialization of the binary MARC21 format that has existed since the 70's. The XML serialization gives us access to general XML tools for working with the data. Making this package available in Fedora will benefit not just Evergreen, but also Koha and other library systems that use Perl. I work closely with my peers in the code4lib community and speak with the previous and current maintainers of the Perl MARC packages on a nearly-daily basis. Fedora Account System Username: dscott
Again, a mostly clean and simple package. A couple of minor nits that you know about already. My only real complaint with this one is the %description - just use the first paragraph of MARC::File::XML's description or the first two paragraphs of README. Should be easy to approve once you've fixed the nits.
Thanks again, Iain! The updated spec and SRPM live at: Spec URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-MARC-XML/perl-MARC-XML.spec SRPM URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-MARC-XML/perl-MARC-XML-0.93-1.fc17.src.rpm I've also submitted an updated spec and srpm for perl-MARC-Record at 827801, building in the lessons I've learned from your extremely helpful reviews in the hopes that we can bump it to a modern version.
I'm going to wait for MARC-Charset to hit rawhide before formally reviewing this one. In the meantime, though, %attr(0755, - -) %{_bindir}/* is bugging me - it works, but it's inconsistent - should be all commas, or all spaces - I generally prefer commas. But more importantly, it shouldn't be necessary to specify %attr at all in this case - just having %{_bindir}/* in %files ought to be enough (I didn't check - but unless something weird's happening, every other package I've touched automagically ends up with the correct 0755 permissions under %_bindir). And this package also needs to BuildRequire: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker). I noticed bug 827801 - perl-MARC-Record is probably something that spot just inherited at some point in the past. It might be an idea to add a comment in the bug that you'd be willing to be co-maintainer and request permissions in pkgdb.
Thanks, BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) added. The permissions problem is indeed weird, and actually matches what's happening in perl-MARC-Record. If you remove the %attr specification for %{_bindir} here, you get: perl-MARC-XML.noarch: E: non-standard-executable-perm /usr/bin/xml2marc 0555L (This is weird because ExtUtil::MakeMaker says that the default permission for EXE_FILES is supposed to be 755, and I don't see anything overriding that default in Makefile.PL for this module). Over in perl-MARC-Record, the solution I inherited had been to "chmod -R u+w $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/*". That seemed a bit bunt, which is why I went with the %attr approach to resolve the problem specifically with the contents of %{_bindir}. That said, I agree that %attr{755,-,-} is much cleaner than a mix of commas and spaces, and I've made that change. Spec URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-MARC-XML/perl-MARC-XML.spec SRPM URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-MARC-XML/perl-MARC-XML-0.93-1.fc17.src.rpm Also, good catch of bug 827801 - that's actually the bug that started my whole crazy quest to get this set of modules packaged, as I initially simply wanted to get perl-MARC-Record updated and thought I would help out by offering a spec file :) I'll comment over there accordingly. Thanks again, Iain!

The standard approach is to add %{_fixperms} %{buildroot}/* to the end of %install section.
or %{_fixperms} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/* - you need to use %{buildroot} or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT consistently in the spec file.
