Taking.

Comment 4 Josef Stribny 2013-09-11 09:32:06 UTC
1, Description of -doc subpackage should end with a dot (.) according to guidelines.

2, %doc	%{gem_instdir}/[A-Z]* seems too vague to me, please mention README and LICENSE explicitly so it's clear that they are present.

3, Gemfile, Rakefile and original .gemspec could be kept in -doc for clarification rather than excluded.

4, Keep the test suite in doc rather than excluding it.

Otherwise the package builds, installs and runs, rpmlint doesn't complain.
Please fix the issues 1, 2 and 4, and consider no. 3 so I can approve.

- I prefer this (note that similarly we usually just write %gem_libdir and
  not write %files list verbosely more, %files list verboseness
  matters to some degree, however I don't think it is needed for this case)

> 3, Gemfile, Rakefile and original .gemspec could be kept in -doc for

- Oppositely I usually ask / suggest people to exclude these files.
  These are not used, Gemfile and Rakefile are like Makefiles for autotools
  based tarball, which we won't add in binary rpms.

> 4, Keep the test suite in doc rather than excluding it.

- This is against current Ruby guidelines (current Ruby guideline says
  explicitly that test files should not be packaged), and also for
  this case I don't see the usefulness of test suite files for
  normal users.

Comment 6 Josef Stribny 2013-09-25 10:07:49 UTC
Well, I sort of expected you to disagree.

I know that some of the issues above are kind of argumental and not forced by guidelines. With "[A-Z]*" one never knows looking on the spec file if the README/LICENSE is there or not, and those two are kind of important.

The guidelines request to include license file in the main package, but this way, it's unclear. Imagine when you make a simple update of the .gem (or some proven packager makes it) then you wouldn't notice that license file is suddenly gone, because upstream decided not to ship it anymore.

For the rest, I prefer the opposite, but it's true it's not explicitly in the guidelines. For me, tests or Gemfile, are also the documentation, they document how the gem works/is expected to work, with what deps is tested etc. Since we sometimes make a lot of patching in Fedora, I believe it's worth including for clarification.

I APPROVE the package, but I strongly recommend to list the license file separately before pushing. For the rest, I understand your point of view. Thank you.

Okay, thank you!
Note that as you see this review request blocks other review requests
(of mine, as shown in the dependency tree), so review swaps are
still welcomed.
