Spec URL: http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/vagrant/f18/specs/rubygem-log4r.spec

Description:

In the process of making a more native fedora package of vagrant, I found that rubygem-log4r was missing in fedora. Wrapping the package seemed straightforward, so here it is.

From the log4r homepage:
Log4r is a comprehensive and flexible logging library written in Ruby for use in Ruby programs. It features a hierarchical logging system of any number of levels, custom level names, logger inheritance, multiple output destinations, execution tracing, custom formatting, thread safetyness, XML and YAML configuration, and more.

Comment 1 Michael S. 2013-08-05 09:50:44 UTC
Doesn't build on F19 at the moment, due to newer ruby and %global rubyabi 1.9.1

Comment 2 Alex Drahon 2013-08-29 10:17:04 UTC
(In reply to Michael Scherer from comment #1)
> Doesn't build on F19 at the moment, due to newer ruby and %global rubyabi
> 1.9.1

I didn't test Ingvar's spec file, but I had no problem building a RPM using gem2rpm on F19 and F20. I there any other blocking factor? I can provide a package if needed.

Comment 3 Ken Dreyer 2013-09-10 04:30:50 UTC
It looks like this spec file needs to be updated for the newest Ruby guidelines for Fedora 19+. Ingvar, are you still interested in packaging this?

Comment 4 Alex Drahon 2013-09-11 12:42:44 UTC
This is blocking for Vagrant, so I agree to take ownership if nobody wants it.

New activity on this bug ?

Comment 8 Arun S A G 2013-12-21 13:53:12 UTC
It's been almost a month. do you still want to maintain this package?

Comment 9 Ingvar Hagelund 2014-08-19 21:07:17 UTC
I actually got time again to do a new run on this package. Upstream has released a new version, but the old homepage is down, so I got the source from github.

In this version, the license is fixed upstream - they changed it to BSD.

On running the test suit, tests/README states that "the unit tests are currently out of date", and many of them fails when ran manually. so I have skipped over those. At a glance, I think they should be fairly easy for a ruby dev to fix, but I'm not one of those

Comment 10 Josef Stribny 2014-10-09 07:09:46 UTC
Hi Ingvar,

I accidentally opened a second review request[0]. Can I ask you whether you want to continue with this? If so, I am gonna close mine as a duplicate. Also I briefly looked at your spec and some tests can be actually run [1] so you can try to run them.

Comment 11 Ingvar Hagelund 2014-10-09 07:33:48 UTC
Maintaining this package doesn't seem much work, so I'd like to continue, please :-)

I'll add the tests that actually run, and put up a new package.

Comment 15 Vít Ondruch 2014-10-16 07:37:54 UTC
I just noticed that 1.11 is introducing breaking changes:

https://github.com/colbygk/log4r/issues/26
https://github.com/colbygk/log4r/issues/24

And it was yanked on rubygems.org:

http://rubygems.org/gems/log4r/versions
https://github.com/colbygk/log4r/issues/26#issuecomment-31622574

Could you please revert back to 1.10 until this gets resolved?

Thanks.

Comment 16 Vít Ondruch 2014-11-03 17:04:42 UTC
Ping! Any progress?

Comment 17 Josef Stribny 2014-11-20 12:22:21 UTC
Hi Ingvar,

do you have time to work on this? We really need to get it into Fedora.

Thank you.

Comment 18 Josef Stribny 2014-11-25 15:05:39 UTC
Since Ingvar is not responsive I am submitting my original work from the duplicate bug:

Spec URL: http://data-strzibny.rhcloud.com/rubygem-log4r.spec
SRPM URL: http://data-strzibny.rhcloud.com/rubygem-log4r-1.1.10-1.fc22.src.rpm
Description:
Log4r is a comprehensive and flexible logging library for use in Ruby programs.
It features a heirarchical logging system of any number of levels, custom level
names, multiple output destinations per log event, custom formatting, and more.
Fedora Account System Username: jstribny

This is a Vagrant dependency, which I would like to have as a F22 feature.

Comment 19 Vít Ondruch 2014-11-25 15:31:27 UTC
I'll take it for a review.

Comment 20 Ingvar Hagelund 2014-11-25 16:28:30 UTC
Sorry, I have not been able to use time on this. Too much happening in my real life.

Only thing that's a bit tricky with version 1.10 is to sort out the correct license. 1.11 changed to BSD, so that's quit clear.

The 1.10 license was not completely clear to me. It is _either_ GPL (no version mentioned) or some more or less free variant. License text pasted here:

Comment 21 Vít Ondruch 2014-11-25 16:55:13 UTC
Ingvar,

if you don't mind, we'll finish the review. If you like, you can become co-maintainer if that works for you.

* Documentation should be marked by %doc macro
  - %{gem_instdir}/doc should be marked as documentation.

* Is the lib/log4r/rdoc runtime dependency?
  - Shouldn't it be moved into documentation? 
  - Shouldn't it be removed? Isn't it just used to generate documentation?

* Wrong license
  - As Ingvar pointed out, the license is a bit tricky, but I'd say that the
    last license mentioned for 1.10.0 is LGPLv3 [1]. I believe that it was
    relicensed, although the conditions of the relicensing are not very clear :/

* License file
  - Have you asked upstream to include the LICENSE file?

* Execute test suite using Minitest 5.x
  - Have you considered to execute the test suite using Minitest 5.x?


(please note that some of the points might be already obsolete with 1.11.0 release)

(In reply to Vít Ondruch from comment #21)
> Ingvar,

Sure, that was my point. I've not been able to prioritize this for months, so it's better you guys take over.

> If you like, you can become co-maintainer if that works for you.

Thanks, but no, thanks. My primary target was to wrap up Vagrant, and this subpackage was just a requirement. When Vagrant upstream changed so much that packaging with Fedora standards became non-trivial, I left that to more seasoned packagers. I don't feel ownership to this package, so it's better off in your hands.

For clearity, the gem included doc/content/license.html should probably be removed or replaced with text referring to the (missing) LGPLv3 LICENSE file then :-)

Comment 23 Josef Stribny 2014-11-26 15:05:35 UTC
I hopefully addressed all the issues:

Spec URL: http://data-strzibny.rhcloud.com/vagrant/rubygem-log4r.spec
SRPM URL: http://data-strzibny.rhcloud.com/vagrant/rubygem-log4r-1.1.10-1.fc22.src.rpm

Comment 24 Vít Ondruch 2014-11-27 09:01:09 UTC
* rpmlint issues:
  - rubygem-log4r.noarch: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US heirarchical
      -> hierarchical, hierarchic

Otherwise the package looks good => APPROVED
