Spec URL: http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/albumart/albumart.spec SRPM URL: http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/albumart/albumart-1.6.6-1.fc19.src.rpm Description: A program that will semi-automatically download album cover images for your music collection. All you have to do is point it at the root of your music directory and for each directory, the program will download a set of corresponding (well, best guess) album covers from the Internet, from which you can choose one that suits your fancy. See how the program works from a flash demonstration video. Note that due to the latest changes in Amazon's Product Advertising API, Album Cover Art Downloader is unable to download any images from Amazon for the time being.

Hi Ankur, the .spec file link is a 404 at the moment. Are you still interested in packaging this?
Hi Ken, I've uploaded the spec/srpm again: http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/albumart/ http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/albumart/albumart.spec http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/albumart/albumart-1.6.6-1.fc20.src.rpm I just checked the website, and the project appears dead :( There hasn't been any newer releases since the 1.6.6 in 2008. I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth getting this into Fedora, or if it'd be better to look for another program that's better maintained? Thanks Ankur
This still seems to be the only one for Linux though..
I own a package (cronolog) that hasn't had an upstream release in 11 years, but it continues to build, and I use it every day on many servers at my work. So it's possible :) Of course, it's a small C application with basically no dependencies. This albumart application appears to depend on Python and PyQT, both of which might lead to issues down the road if there's no one keeping up with Python or PyQT API changes. For albumart, I'm ok with reviewing, but you'll be on the hook for maintainance should problems be found. Up to you.
(In reply to Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) from comment #2) > There hasn't been any newer releases since the 1.6.6 in 2008. I'm beginning > to wonder if it's worth getting this into Fedora, or if it'd be better to > look for another program that's better maintained? Do you need it as a standalone app or maybe as a plugin for another software? In the latter case we have support for downloading album covers in a few music manager suites (Amarok etc.). Regarding the age of the latest release: I was maintaining some WindowMaker dockapps for a while, some of them had a 0.1 release ten years ago. I don't use them no longer, but from time to time I build the packages for a friend of mine and he had no problems yet. Well, such dockapps are mostly quite simple without any special needs. As Ken already wrote, it's your own risk to maintain packages whose upstream has vanished.
Any news here...?
Hi Mario, (In reply to Mario Blättermann from comment #6) > Any news here...? The spec/srpm are available at the links given in comment#2 http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/albumart/ I'm willing to maintain the package, until the bugs crop up ;) Thanks Ankur
The latest updates in the Python packaging guidelines need the following changes: python-devel > python2-devel %{__python} > %{__python2} Besides that, %{python2_sitelib} is also available as macro (currently not for EPEL), although not mentioned in the packaging guidelines yet. The source tarball contains a manpage named "albumart-qt.1" in the "debian" folder. Please install it. The folder %{_datadir}/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ is owned by the kde-filesystem-package. You still have to add it to "Requires:". I suggest to create a -konqueror subpackage to make your main package independent from KDE. The subpackage should also require kde-baseapps where the "konqueror" binary resides. Without that, it wouldn't make sense to have such a servicemenu. Moreover, have a look at the Provides in the binary package. I'm not sure if PyQt will detected automatically by rpm. If not, add it manually. Most of the file headers of the Python scripts don't show licenses, but at least one file which will go in the binary package has the "later versions" clause in addition to the GPLv2 declaration, that's why the package license is GPLv2+.

[.] 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. -------------------------------------------------------------- Found on the project website: "In order to run the source packages you'll need: Python 2.3 or better with python-xmlbase. QT >= 2.3 or >= 3.1 and PyQT, the Python bindings. Python Imaging Library GNU make" The package-python-imaging is missing as a runtime requirement. Another problem: Fedora doesn't ship it anymore. Since f19, it is replaced by python-pillow, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Pillow. In some cases the Python import declarations need to be fixed. Maybe python-imaging isn't really needed, but the upstream developer of a dead project is probably not available so you won't we able to ask him... Anyway, this dependency should be investigated. BTW, the initial cleaning of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in %install is obsolete for ages, you can drop this line safely (only needed for EPEL5). Regarding the *.desktop file for Konqueror, such files don't follow the Freedesktop rules and don't need to be validated.
Any news?
