Description François Cami 2012-08-10 10:51:52 UTC
Spec URL: http://fcami.fedorapeople.org/srpms/girara.spec
SRPM URL: http://fcami.fedorapeople.org/srpms/girara-0.1.3-1.fc16.src.rpm
Description: Girara is a library that implements a user interface that focuses on simplicity and minimalism. It is needed for the newest releases of zathura.

Fedora Account System Username: fcami

To test girara, you have to install girara and girara-devel then compile 
zathura 0.2.0 [1] against it. An easy way to do so is to use the SRPM at http://fcami.fedorapeople.org/srpms/zathura-0.2.0-1.fc16.src.rpm .

Comment 1 Mario Blättermann 2012-08-10 16:43:17 UTC
Some initial comments:

If you don't want to provide your package for EPEL5 and older, you might drop the following:

- BuildRoot:
- the %clean section
- the %defattr lines in %files

You are using the %find_lang macro, that's why this line is unneeded:
%{_datarootdir}/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo
The macros is searching for translation files automatically and puts them in the right places.


The usual description for -devel packages is:

The %{name}-devel package contains libraries and header files for
developing applications that use %{name}.

This comes from rpmdev-newspec, if you are creating a library spec with the "-t lib" option.

Comment 2 François Cami 2012-08-11 13:23:26 UTC

Comment 4 Mario Blättermann 2012-08-12 16:21:03 UTC
Now girara builds almost properly on my local machine. Some more issues:


The -devel package must depend on the main package in any case:

Requires:       %{name}-libs%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}


The debug package is empty. Normally, you could solve this problem with the following "make" call:

make CFLAGS='%{optflags}' %{?_smp_mflags}

Just tried, but I've got the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mariobl/rpmbuild/BUILD/girara-0.1.3/po'
settings.c:4:18: fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

With the default compiler settings in Fedora, the compiler is unable to find the glib headers, and probably even more.

Seems to be the Makefile has to be patched, because no configure script is present. In any case, we cannot accept a package without debug info. Unfortunately, I don't know how to solve the problem... Perhaps you should ask upstream how the debug info could be generated.


If you don't want to provide your package for EPEL 5 and older, you have to drop the "BuildRoot:" definition, the %clean section and the %defattr lines in %files.


The LICENSE file appears in both main and devel package. This is wrong and not needed anyway, because the main package and its LICENSE file is already present when installing the devel package.

No problem that the -devel package doesn't contain documentation, because it depends on the libs ... should depend on it:

(In reply to comment #4)

> 
> Requires:       %{name}-libs%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}

OK, we don't have a lib* or -libs package, that's why it has to be:
Requires:       %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}


As already mentioned, either confirm that you want to provide it for el5 or remove the obsolete stuff.


No further objections. Once you provide new spec and srpm, I will do a full review.

Comment 8 François Cami 2012-09-21 16:28:00 UTC
Thank you Mario.
I removed el5 compatibility and added the Requires: line for the -devel package.

new srpm: http://fcami.fedorapeople.org/srpms/girara-0.1.3-5.fc16.src.rpm
new spec: http://fcami.fedorapeople.org/srpms/girara.spec

Comment 9 Mario Blättermann 2012-09-21 16:35:40 UTC
(In reply to comment #8)
> I removed el5 compatibility ...

In this case, the following parts of your latest spec are obsolete:

- the BuildRoot tag
- the initial cleaning of %buildroot in %install
- the %clean section

Comment 10 François Cami 2012-09-21 16:44:09 UTC
My fault, thanks for the catch.

No real issues anymore.


---------------------------------
key:

[+] OK
[.] OK, not applicable
[X] needs work
---------------------------------

[+] MUST: rpmlint must be run on the source rpm and all binary rpms the build produces. The output should be posted in the review.
[+] MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
[+] MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption.
[+] MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines.
[+] MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines.
[+] MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license.
    zlib
[+] MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.
[+] MUST: The spec file must be written in American English.
[+] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible.
[+] MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use sha256sum for this task as it is used by the sources file once imported into git. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this.
    $ sha256sum *
    3cc2b56356a4be2f4e47638b697d830408a870cf37e85d36d9d2b591f86748af  girara-0.1.3.tar.gz
    3cc2b56356a4be2f4e47638b697d830408a870cf37e85d36d9d2b591f86748af  girara-0.1.3.tar.gz.packaged

[+] MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture.
[.] MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in ExcludeArch. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch MUST have a bug filed in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that architecture. The bug number MUST be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding ExcludeArch line.
[+] MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense.
[+] MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.
[+] MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun.
[+] MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries.
[.] MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker.
[+] MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory.
[+] MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings. (Notable exception: license texts in specific situations)
[.] MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example.
[+] MUST: Each package must consistently use macros.
[+] MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content.
[.] MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity).
[+] MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present.
[.] MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package.
[+] MUST: Development files must be in a -devel package.
[+] MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}
[+] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.
[.] MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the %install section. If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation.
[+] MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time.
[+] MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.


[.] SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.
[.] SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
[+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
    See Koji build above (which uses Mock anyway).
[.] SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures.
[+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example.
[+] SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity.
[.] SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency.
[+] SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb.
[.] SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file instead of the file itself.
[.] SHOULD: your package should contain man pages for binaries/scripts. If it doesn't, work with upstream to add them where they make sense.

PACKAGE APPROVED

For future package releases, you should consider to build it also for gtk3. Well, there's no need currently (for zathura), but keep it in mind.
