Comment 1 Jeroen van Meeuwen 2012-06-20 13:20:07 UTC
Add dependency on libkolabxml

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2012-06-26 14:46:17 UTC
newer kdepim-runtime's need this, I can help cwickert with the review.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2012-06-26 17:25:54 UTC
Naming: ok

1. MUST sources: Not ok, not verifiable.  no upstream 0.3 tarball (yet?)
6d9a81c318193c2d3ec580b73ffa8886  libkolab-0.3.tar.gz
looks like this may be a snapshot, so providing a recipe to create the tarball would be enough.

SHOULD: I'd suggest using
URL:  http://git.kolab.org/libkolab
instead of http://kolab.org/

SHOULD: remove rpm cruft like Group:, BuildRoot, %defattr

SHOULD: remove extraneous cmake qt-devel deps, like
BuildRequires:  cmake >= 2.6
BuildRequires:  qt-devel >= 4.7
(and similar install-time deps in the -devel subpkg), these are pulled in implicitly via kdepimlibs-devel already

SHOULD: track lib soname's explicitly, use
%{_libdir}/libkolab.so.0
instead of overly broad
%{_libdir}/libkolab.so.*

SHOULD: these cmake directives are extraneous and already included in fedora's default %{cmake} macro, so can be removed:
    -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%{_prefix} \
    -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=%{_libdir} \

2. MUST: scriptlets NOT ok, missing:
%post -p /sbin/ldconfig
%postun -p /sbin/ldconfig

Licensing: OK
confirmed a mixture of LGPLv2+ and LGPLv3+, though no LICENSE or COPYING file is provided (another SHOULD nice-to-have fix)

3. -devel pkg MUST have and arch'd dep on the main pkg, using
Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}



Address at least MUST items 1-3, and looks like we have a winner.

Changed this to:

# From http://git.kolab.org/libkolab/snapshot/54d11d067951ddedd8b28aa7eb54e4f68bc81218.tar.gz
Source0:        http://git.kolab.org/%{name}/snapshot/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

for the time being, while this still comes straight from the master branch.

> SHOULD: I'd suggest using

I'll enlist some help to create some sort of http://kolab.org/software/libkolab page, but for now I've changed the URL to the GIT repository browse location as suggested.

Done.

Done.

Included.

Thanks for the review Rex.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2012-06-27 13:08:28 UTC
Nice, so one last thing I forgot to mention, if you *are* going forward with using snapshots, please do follow:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages

I'll leave that to you to address prior to building any official packages.


APPROVED

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2012-06-27 23:08:38 UTC
To be clear, 5.fc17.kolab_3.0 is not a valid Release tag for a prerelease snapshot for several reasons:
* The tag before the disttag must be of the form 0.n where n is an integer, e.g. "0.5" rather than just "5".
* "kolab_3.0" is not a valid snapshot tag, should be of the form "20120627git" or "20120627git54d11d06".

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2012-06-28 01:59:30 UTC
No worries, the .spec only says 5%{?dist}, so that's just part of kolab's custom dist tag

Agreed, this was my mistake in updating from a released 0.2 series version to the git master snapshot, and now there's little opportunity to roll back without bumping the epoch.

It is, as Rex already mentioned, our buildsystem dist-tag that does this.
