Comment 1 Paul Franklin (RHlists) 2013-06-30 00:10:10 UTC
It is not clear to me whether anything is happening
or not.  I requested this in bugzilla 919961 and I can't
tell if that one has been closed or not, either.

If the problem is that this was somehow done for F18
and it's now too late for F19 (or whatever) can't this
still be done, for rawhide or F20 or whatever?

Thanks.

Sorry, the delay is my mistake.


Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues (moved up, but also included in-line):
=======
- Permissions on files are set properly.
  Note: See rpmlint output
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#FilePermissions
- Package consistently uses macro is (instead of hard-coded directory names).
  Note: Using both %{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#macros
- hardcoded -O1 and no $RPM_OPT_FLAGS usage in %install section -- if necessary, a comment should be provided
- %defattr can be removed; not a blocker
- Maybe this is only my misunderstanding, but why we need -devel subpackage with the only one header file here? I thought having the base package should be enough to use that package for development.
- See comments in-line
- Project announces MIT on its web page but only BSD license is used in some source files. This should be communicated with upsteam so they idealy use proper MIT clause in every source file. Not a blocker though.
- BSD and MIT requires their text included https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text
- I don't see it in the guidelines, but shouldn't there be "Requires: python3"?
- Version 6.0.0 is available
- Please see if the test case can be run in build-time.

Most of the issues should now be resolved, see comments on some below.

Actual version:

 - SRPM URL: http://jstanek.fedorapeople.org/python3-bsddb3/python3-bsddb3-6.0.0-1.fc19.src.rpm

Original version (links in the first comment no longer works):
 - Spec URL: http://jstanek.fedorapeople.org/python3-bsddb3/old/python3-bsddb3.spec.1

rpmlint complains about non-standard executable .so, but I checked other built python3 modules and this .so is where it belongs, with proper rights (when I tried to make it non-executable, the module testsuite complained).

Upstream confirmed the 3-clause BSD license for the entire project and acknowledged these issues with promise of fixing them in the next release.

Comment 5 Honza Horak 2013-09-27 07:26:41 UTC
Thanks, it looks fine, except the last two issues probably:

- packaging header file /usr/include/python3.3m/bsddb3/bsddb.h is not necessary IMHO. Or is there any reason to do so?

- BSD license file should be provided since BSD requires a copy of license to be distributed together with sources (if upstream doesn't package the BSD license file in the tar ball, which they should, we should add it manually):

It is probably not necessary, however it is installed by the upstream setup script. Of course I can remove it, but since upstream decided to ship it, I think it should stay there, to be as close to the upstream version as possible.

Staying close to upstream is generally good approach, especially when speaking about functionality/features. But I wouldn't take it too strict when speaking about content of RPMs. Removing unneeded stuff from RPM payload is quite common thing. Anyway, I'm not Python expert, but since no other module seems to do the same, I'd say it is pointless:

$ repoquery --whatprovides --archlist='x86_64,noarch' '*/usr/include/python3.3m/*.h'
python3-devel-0:3.3.2-6.fc19.x86_64
python3-libs-0:3.3.2-2.fc19.x86_64
python3-libs-0:3.3.2-6.fc19.x86_64
python3-devel-0:3.3.2-2.fc19.x86_64
python3-sip-devel-0:4.14.6-1.fc19.x86_64

However, let's ask Python guru, what he things about packaging /usr/include/python3.3m/bsddb3/bsddb.h file. Slavku, can you express your POV?

Comment 8 Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda 2013-10-02 10:18:54 UTC
Hmm, we usually don't ship *.h files with Python extension packages, but I guess it depends on the use case. If there are some other libraries/users that may need including these headers, then shipping them in -devel subpackage is probably fine. Usually, this is not a case, so I'd advise to not ship the headers.

Comment 9 Jan Staněk 2013-10-02 11:01:57 UTC
OK then, I removed the header from the final package.

I also added LICENSE file as separate (local) source, until upstream releases updated version with (hopefully) fixed licensing issues.

Here is the current version:
Spec URL: http://jstanek.fedorapeople.org/python3-bsddb3/python3-bsddb3.spec
SRPM URL: http://jstanek.fedorapeople.org/python3-bsddb3/python3-bsddb3-6.0.0-1.fc19.src.rpm
