Spec URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC.spec SRPM URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC-0.22-1.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 provides a generally useful algorithm for generating sort keys from Library of Congress call numbers. I work with Dan Wells (current maintainer of Library::CallNumber::LC) on a regular basis, and have made small contributions to the module in the past. Fedora Account System Username: dscott
This looks to be a nice clean package with no major blockers - just a couple of minor nits: you should explicitly BuildRequire: perl(Math::BigInt) perl(strict) perl(warnings) Use DESTDIR instead of PERL_INSTALL_ROOT in %install section. You don't need to explicitly Require: perl(Math::BigInt) - rpm detects this dependency automatically. Fix the nits and I'll approve once we've got you sponsored in bug 829860.
I must be getting forgetful in my old age. The comment from bug 829860 regarding BuildRoot tag applies here too, of course.
Thanks again, Iain! I've reposted the updated spec file and srpm to: Spec URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC.spec SRPM URL: http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC-0.22-1.fc17.src.rpm Along with the changes you recommended, I added a note to the ChangeLog accordingly.

[!]: MUST License field in the package spec file matches the actual license. According to Library/CallNumber/LC.pm, this is actually same-as-perl or new-BSD (i.e. GPL+ or Artistic or BSD). The Changes file claims to have clarified the licensing as "both same-as-perl and BSD". The README file and META.yml still only say same-as-perl, though. There is a (closed) upstream bug at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=70038 that clarifies the issue, but you should open a new one to have README and META.yml fixed as well. Not a blocker, though, as upstream's intent is clear. This package is APPROVED. But when checking in, you need to * change the License tag to "GPL+ or Artistic or BSD" * add a BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) - same applies for MARC-Record and MARC-XML.
Thanks Iain! On the BSD vs. GPL+ or Artistic licensing ambiguity, I had filed an issue with upstream at http://code.google.com/p/library-callnumber-lc/issues/detail?id=6 (which is where the README directs people to file issues) while creating the package. Note that the previous issue I filed 9#5) was that the code on CPAN doesn't match the code in the http://code.google.com/p/library-callnumber-lc repository -- which is why I didn't notice the added BSD option in the README. I'll work with upstream to resolve the licensing problem on all fronts, and also to help them sort out their repository syncing. I'll also add BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
Hmm. Actually, I think it should be BuildRequires: perl(Module::Build), not ExtUtils::MakeMaker for this one. One further problem - with the license as "GPL+ or Artistic or BSD", rpmlint complains with: perl-Library-CallNumber-LC.src: W: invalid-license Artistic It seems that, unfortunately, rpmlint doesn't recognize "GPL+ or Artistic" as a single name once "or BSD" is tacked on; it looks like each phrase separated by "or" is parsed as a separate license. And unfortunately, there is no "Artistic" license listed at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing - of the closest matches by name, "Artistic clarified" and "Artistic 2.0", their actual text doesn't match the text of the Artistic license as linked from http://dev.perl.org/licenses/ for the Perl "GPL+ or Artistic" entry in the licensing wiki. Time to call in Fedora Legal? Or time to teach rpmlint to try harder to match "GPL+ or Artistic" (and its variants) for the corner cases of tri-licensed software? In any case, I've updated http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC/ with the new spec & srpm.
(In reply to comment #7) > Hmm. Actually, I think it should be BuildRequires: perl(Module::Build), not > ExtUtils::MakeMaker for this one. Well, you have a choice - but since you're using Makefile.PL and that has 'use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;' it's perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) that you need to buildrequire. > One further problem - with the license as "GPL+ or Artistic or BSD", rpmlint > complains with: > > perl-Library-CallNumber-LC.src: W: invalid-license Artistic Ah, good catch. Not something to worry too much about - the license is good, so we could ignore the rpmlint warning. But you can also silence the warning by forcing it to parse the license better: License: (GPL+ or Artistic) or BSD

Oops. Per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Perl/Tips#Makefile.PL_vs_Build.PL I should be using Build.PL - so I have updated the spec and srpm accordingly. > > One further problem - with the license as "GPL+ or Artistic or BSD", rpmlint > > complains with: > > > > perl-Library-CallNumber-LC.src: W: invalid-license Artistic > > Ah, good catch.

Note to self: no more working past 1:00 AM! Once again, I have updated http://bzr.coffeecode.net/scratch/perl-Library-CallNumber-LC/ with the new spec & srpm
Okay. The change to use Build.PL looks good. Review flag is still set, so you can proceed with SCM request on this one.
