Spec URL: http://www.perl.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp_1.spec

Description:
This is "Not Quite Perl" -- a compiler for quickly generating PIR
routines from Perl6-like code.  The key feature of NQP is that it's
designed to be a very small compiler (as compared with, say, perl6
or Rakudo) and is focused on being a high-level way to create
compilers and libraries for virtual machines (such as the Parrot
Virtual Machine [1]).  Unlike a full-fledged implementation of Perl 6,
NQP strives to have as small a runtime footprint as it can, while
still providing a Perl 6 object model and regular expression engine
for the virtual machine.

A successful scratch build in rawhide is at:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4365294

Comment 2 Gerd Pokorra 2012-08-08 11:41:47 UTC
I fixed an error in the description.

I put the new spec file and new SRPM on our FTP-server.

So the new URLs of it are:

Spec: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp_2.spec
SRPM: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp-0.0.2012.07-2.fc17.src.rpm

During the review http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp.spec will always be a link to the latest spec file version.

Now my rpmlint output is:

rpmlint /home/gz016/rpmbuild/SRPMS/nqp-0.0.2012.07-2.fc17.src.rpm
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

Package Review

==== C/C++ ====
[x]: MUST Header files in -devel subpackage, if present.
[x]: MUST Package does not contain any libtool archives (.la)
[X]: MUST Package does not contain kernel modules.
[X]: MUST Package contains no static executables.
[x]: MUST Rpath absent or only used for internal libs.
[!]: MUST Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if
     present.
     Note: Unversioned so-files in non-devel package (fix or
     explain):nqp-0.0.2012.07-2.fc18.x86_64.rpm :
     /usr/lib64/parrot/4.6.0/dynext/nqp_bigint_ops.so

Couldn't you put those *.so files into nqp-devel package? If nqp needs them
for their essential work, then it could stay in one package.

Comment 4 Marcela Mašláňová 2012-08-10 11:28:48 UTC
I used Fedora-Review for review, which check everything. Let's start with the biggest issues.

License: the directory 3rdparty contains code under various licenses. There is also sha1.c file, which might be better use from system library. The license can't be Artistic 2.0 if some parts of code are under different license.

-devel sub-package is missing.

If you want to push this package into EPEL-5 you will need more changes in the specfile.

Comment 5 Gerd Pokorra 2012-08-13 09:16:44 UTC
- License: For the license I think I have to contact the developers of npq, that they will change it in the upstream and use sha1 from the system library.

- devel sub-package:
I made a build of NQP with the .so files in a -devel subpackage. Then nqp did not run any more. So I add a comment in the spec file to explain it.

The new URLs are:
Spec: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp_3.spec
SRPM: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp-0.0.2012.07-3.fc17.src.rpm

Comment 6 Gerd Pokorra 2012-08-13 09:18:35 UTC
I do not want to push this package into EPEL-5.

Comment 7 Gerd Pokorra 2012-08-13 13:07:28 UTC
I tried to replace the included SHA1 with the SHA from openssl, but it is incompatible. What type of license could be used to accept the 3rdparty software?

Comment 8 Gerd Pokorra 2012-08-13 13:19:45 UTC
Would this be the correct license tag:

License:        Artistic 2.0 and Public Domain and WTFPL

Comment 9 Gerd Pokorra 2012-08-13 19:26:21 UTC
- change License tag  
- remove defattr

The new URLs are:
Spec: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp_4.spec
SRPM: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp-0.0.2012.07-4.fc17.src.rpm

I guess this is ok. Many applications are using their own implementation even if it's not the best thing to do.

(In reply to comment #8)
> Would this be the correct license tag:

I found in licensecheck.txt from Fedora-Review ISC. And some files don't have copyright, so I probably need to go through all files again and check them.

You can also remove the clean section, it's used only for EL-5.
%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

Could you run tests during build or it doesn't work? I'm missing the check section, where could be make test executed.

Comment 13 Gerd Pokorra 2012-08-14 21:39:51 UTC
- added check section
- removed clean section
- added ISC to License tag

The new URLs are:
Spec: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp_5.spec
SRPM: http://ftp.uni-siegen.de/review/nqp-0.0.2012.07-5.fc17.src.rpm

Comment 14 Marcela Mašláňová 2012-08-15 15:07:17 UTC
License:
Being in the public domain is not a license; rather, it means the material is not copyrighted and no license is needed. 

So, I would tag it as: Artistic 2.0 and ISC and WTFPL

Comment 15 Marcela Mašláňová 2012-08-15 15:08:12 UTC
It would be nice if upstream have the part License in pir files like Perl 5 modules have. But the LICENSE file with Artistic 2.0 should be enough for files in src, t, and others.

Comment 16 Marcela Mašláňová 2012-08-15 15:31:14 UTC
I guess everything is correct now.
