Spec URL: http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/odeint/odeint.spec SRPM URL: http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/odeint/odeint-2.2.20130117-1.fc19.src.rpm Description: Odeint is a modern C++ library for numerically solving Ordinary Differential Equations. It is developed in a generic way using Template Metaprogramming which leads to extraordinary high flexibility at top performance. The numerical algorithms are implemented independently of the underlying arithmetics. This results in an incredible applicability of the library, especially in non-standard environments. For example, odeint supports matrix types, arbitrary precision arithmetics and even can be easily run on CUDA GPUs - check the Highlights to learn more. Moreover, odeint provides a comfortable easy-to-use interface allowing for a quick and efficient implementation of numerical simulations. Visit the impressively clear 30 lines Lorenz example. Odeint is a header only C++ library and the full source code is available for download. distributed under the highly liberal Boost Software License. Hence, odeint is free, open source and can be used in both non-commercial and commercial applications. Odeint did undergo the boost review process in the end of September 2012, which means users and other library authors evaluate the code and provide a review report. Based on these reports, odeint was accepted and thus will become part of the boost library collection. That means odeint will be officially shipped with one of the next releases of boost!

Hi Ankur Looks quite clean on a first glimpse. Will have a closer look later. But is it possible that the summary of the devel sub-package "The matrix template library - open source edition" doesn't belong to this package?
> %global checkout_date 20130117 > Name: odeint > Version: 2.2.%{checkout_date} > Release: 1%{?dist} It ought to apply the versioning scheme for snapshots. > %description Is that a copy of the complete README? *grin* I highly recommend trimming it down to at most half the current size and truncating the src.rpm description a lot, too. > cp -rv Typically, we want to preserve timestamps by using cp -p… > %package devel > Provides: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} > %package docs > Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} This extra dependency increases the metadata and isn't really useful, because it is a virtual package only. You could simply depend on the -devel package. * As the headers in the -devel package are pretty much useless without Boost headers, some dependencies on the needed Boost -devel packages would be very useful.
Hello! New spec/srpm: http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/odeint/odeint.spec http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/odeint/odeint-2.2-1.fc19.src.rpm * Sun Jan 27 2013 Ankur Sinha <ankursinha AT fedoraproject DOT org> 2.2-1 - Add boost requires - Shorten description - Correct source url, versioning - Initial rpmbuild The description was two sections of the website :P. I've shortened it and rectified the other issues pointed out too. Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur

The main package can just use %{summary} as the description, and not directly Requires: anything. Requiring odeint-devel in the docs is OK, since there is no base package and the docs are development docs. So action items are: - Rename -docs to -doc - Get rid of unneeded stuff in main package - Add a static Provides: - Fix spelling error provided by rpmlint (arithmetics) - Ask upstream about LICENSE (SHOULD, not required for review)

I think it's ok to have the -doc package require the -devel subpackage, in spite of the rpmlint error (rpmlint is not authoratative, the packaging guidelines are.) From reading the packaging guidelines section on documentation, they suggest that development documentation be included with the -devel package. They also say that large documentation should be split off into a -doc subpackage, but nowhere does it say anything about not being able to split out development documentation into a separate package. I think this is also a special case. There is no base package, and the documentation pertains to the -devel subpackage. Finally, the way the spec is currently written, it is impossible to install the -doc subpackage. It depends on odeint-2.2-2, which doesn't exist: $ sudo yum -C localinstall ../RPMS/noarch/odeint-d* Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, fastestmirror, langpacks, presto Examining ../RPMS/noarch/odeint-devel-2.2-2.fc18.noarch.rpm: odeint-devel-2.2-2.fc18.noarch Marking ../RPMS/noarch/odeint-devel-2.2-2.fc18.noarch.rpm to be installed Examining ../RPMS/noarch/odeint-doc-2.2-2.fc18.noarch.rpm: odeint-doc-2.2-2.fc18.noarch Marking ../RPMS/noarch/odeint-doc-2.2-2.fc18.noarch.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package odeint-devel.noarch 0:2.2-2.fc18 will be installed ---> Package odeint-doc.noarch 0:2.2-2.fc18 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: odeint = 2.2-2.fc18 for package: odeint-doc-2.2-2.fc18.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: odeint-doc-2.2-2.fc18.noarch (/odeint-doc-2.2-2.fc18.noarch) Requires: odeint = 2.2-2.fc18 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest So go ahead and add Requires: %{name}-devel = %{version}-%{release} to the -doc subpackage Also, the github upstream URL is broken. For starters, it looks like the commit listed in the specfile doesn't exist in the odeint repository. The commit for the v2.2 tag, according to https://github.com/headmyshoulder/odeint-v2/tags, is 421f879c6478ec23ea4e398fb47f8a621ff784e6. So as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Github, the Source0 should read https://github.com/headmyshoulder/odeint-v2/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-%{version}-%{shortcommit}.tar.gz and %prep should have: %setup -qn %{name}-v2-%{commit} That will fix the invalid Source0 messages (I tried it locally and it looks like everything worked fine.)

Looks good, this package is APPROVED. One last note: don't forget to coordinate with the Boost maintainers and request that they provide an Obsoletes: odeint-devel in f19+ before this package goes to stable, so that the f18->f19 upgrade path is not broken.

They're already aware of this. I think they've already added the obsoletes but I'll double check. Thanks for the review Rich.
New Package SCM Request ======================= Package Name: odeint Short Description: A C++ library for numerically solving Ordinary Differential Equations Owners: ankursinha Branches: f17 f18
Git done (by process-git-requests).
odeint-2.2-3.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-10315/odeint-2.2-3.fc18
odeint-2.2-3.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository.
Who will block odeint from Rawhide? It has been branched to F20, rebuilt and conflicts with boost now, since the Obsoletes are not high enough anymore.
releng will do it. Ticket filed: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5722
