Description Alex G. 2012-10-13 01:26:59 UTC
Spec URL: http://g-tech.no-ip.org/~mrnuke/SPECS/libsigrok.spec
SRPM URL: http://g-tech.no-ip.org/~mrnuke/SRPMS/libsigrok-0.1.1-1.fc17.src.rpm
Description: 
libsigrok is a shared library written in C which provides the basic API for
talking to logic analyzer hardware and reading/writing the acquired data into
various input/output file formats.

Koji build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4583315

I will also be needing a sponsor, since this is my first package.

Comment 1 Dan Mashal 2012-10-15 02:51:59 UTC
I cannot sponsor you as a packager but I have done some of the legwork.

Comment 3 Alex G. 2012-10-16 06:49:47 UTC
Regarding: 

Licenses found: "BSD (2 clause)", "GPL (v2 or later)", "GPL (v3 or later)"

I have spoken with upstream, and they are aware some files are GPLv2+. However, the library as a whole is GPLV3+, and the headers installed by the -devel package are all GPLv3+. As a whole, the package is GPLv3+, and I think it doesn't make sense to specify both "GPLv3+ and GPLV2+". The same argument applies for the BSD files.
I don't have a problem specifying all the licenses, although what is shipped ends up being GPLv3+. What is your take?

Comment 4 Dan Mashal 2012-11-13 10:41:25 UTC
GPLv2+ and BSD should be good enough

Comment 5 Alex G. 2012-11-16 17:37:29 UTC
"GPLv2+ and BSD" completely misses the GPLv3+, which is the resulting license of the package. I can't help but imagine this might cause some confusion.
From the licensing guidelines, I am led to believe that
"GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ and BSD"
is the correct way of specifying the license. A bit confusing, I must admit.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2012-11-16 17:45:53 UTC
Depends on how each license is used in the combined work.  It's the packager's perrogative whether to list a simple aggregated license or to list them all (I personally prefer the former).  In short, either
# combined GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ and BSD
License: GPLv3+
or
License: GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ and BSD
is acceptable

also, i'd be willing to serve as sponsor if dan (or anyone else) is willing to do the rest of the review

Comment 7 Alex G. 2012-12-01 16:00:19 UTC
I think the best solution is:
# combined GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ and BSD
License: GPLv3+
This is also upstream's intention. They won't update the "offending" license headers for a few reasons:
BSD files: The authors prefer that their work remains under BSD.
GPLv2+ files: Not enough interest in updating the headers, as it's 100% compatible with GPLv3+.

I can review today.

Alex, can you mention what your FAS username is (i'll need that to sponsor you)?

ping?

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2013-01-16 19:26:51 UTC
Sorry for the delay, will try to wrap this up over this week.

Comment 12 Rex Dieter 2013-03-12 19:13:24 UTC
boy I suck, sorry I forgot about this.  Here we go...

1.  -doc SHOULD drop
Requires:       %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

It's just documentation, really has no strict dependency on the base package.  If you *do* really want a dep, since this is api docs, I'd recommend depending on %{name}-devel instead


naming: ok

macros: ok


2.  SHOULD track library soname, I'd recommend using a few less * globs, and track files closer, using (something like) this instead:

%files
....
%{_libdir}/libsigrok.so.0*

%files devel
...
%{_includedir}/sigrok*.h
%{_libdir}/libsigrok.so
%{_libdir}/pkgconfig/libsigrok.pc

because if any of these change, it means the pkg api/abi has changed too, and excessive globbing will hide that fact, and could lead to surprises later (broken dependencies in packages depending on this one).


sources: ok
285c0b69aa3d36a431bf752c4f70c755  libsigrok-0.1.1.tar.gz

licensing: ok


A lot of the other details were verified already by Dan.  As there are no blockers here I can see,   APPROVED and SPONSORED.

please do consider addressing the SHOULD items I mentioned prior to doing any official builds.
