SRPM URL: http://marvin.hb0da.org/~dev/tipcutils-2.0.3-0.src.rpm
Description: 
Hi.
Fedora seems to be missing a package containing the userspace tools necessary to configure TIPC (/net/tipc).

This package contains the tipc-config program, and also tipc-pipe, which is a netcat-like program that runs over TIPC links.

Hi,

since you are not in the packager group, you need a sponsor first 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group

On your spec, there is various issue with it :
- it doesn have a changelog
- you should use macro for path, rather than for well know executable

- BuildArch: x86_64  is wrong, unless there is a reason and then it should be explained

- %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/configure
you should use the macro %configure, or if it doesn't work, ./configure

- the license file should be shipped as %doc

- BuildRoot is not needed, %clean eithe,r as seen on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#.25clean ( the rest of the rules are also on this page, so I recommend to read it carefully )

There is surely other stuff to fix, but I do not want to overwhelm you for the first comment :)

--- Additional comment from Erik Hugne on 2012-09-07 10:47:23 EDT ---

Thanks for the prompt feedback.
I have adressed your comments, and have one open question regarding the license.
Is it required to have this as a separate file?
All files in tipcutils have the license prepended to them.

--- Additional comment from Erik Hugne on 2012-09-24 05:07:08 EDT ---

The srpm/spec links still from the first request still apply:
Spec URL: http://marvin.hb0da.org/~dev/tipcutils.spec
SRPM URL: http://marvin.hb0da.org/~dev/tipcutils-2.0.3-0.src.rpm

--- Additional comment from Lokesh Mandvekar on 2013-04-13 02:08:13 EDT ---

Hi Erik,

Well, first off thanks for helping me use TIPC 2.0 with UDP bearers sometime back.

Are you still interested in proceeding with this review request?

If you are (and I'm hoping you would be), I'd like to help with the package review, coz this program is useful to me too. I'm not a sponsor and I'm in process of getting my first package reviewed.


* The Release number needs to be incremented everytime you make a change to the spec file, along with a Changelog entry for it.

* Fedora requires that files not be directly installed to /sbin. /usr/sbin is preferable in this case. Check this out: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Filesystem_Layout

* In the %files section, use macros for directory names (for eg. %{_bindir} instead of /usr/bin)

* Run rpmlint on the spec, srpm and binary rpm files and post their outputs.

* Run the srpm file through koji and provide a link to the build here. Koji HOWTOs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Koji_build_system?rd=Koji/UsingKoji

* The Source URL isn't accessible anymore. Could you please check that out?

There might be other issues (but I'm sorta new to reviewing myself, and will revisit this as and when I learn new stuff).

--- Additional comment from Lokesh Mandvekar on 2013-04-13 02:13:03 EDT ---

macros to be used in %files: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package#.25files_section


--- New Request ---
I would like to assume maintainership of this package and have already talked to the upstream developers about this.

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

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

===== Issues =====

[!]: License is listed as "BSD", but no copy of the license is included.

     The BSD license states: 
     
        "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
         notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the 
         documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."
        
     In order to comply with this clause of the license, a copy of the license
     text MUST be included in %doc.  You can either work with upstream to include
     one, or include one yourself.
     
     For more information on handling this situation, see:
     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text

[!]: The $PREFIX is hardcoded.

     You shouldn't need this at all, as it's handled by the %configure macro.
     If you do need it, please use PREFIX=%{_prefix} instead.
     
[!]: The upstream tarball includes an initscript, but this package does not ship
     a systemd service.
     
     Is the functionality provided by the initscript necessary or desired?

[!]: The provided spec file and the spec in the SRPM differ.

     Please make sure they are identical next time.
     
===== Things to Consider ====

[ ]: The %files section contains an unnecessary %defattr line.

     This package does not contain the remaning necessary boilerplate to be
     supported on RHEL 5, and this line is no longer necessary in modern Fedora.
     Please consider removing it.

[ ]: The summary and description could use some more work.

     Please consider briefly explaining what TIPC is.

Upstream said, License is prepended to each file, so they won't be including a separate LICENSE file.

Default is to not install any scripts, installed only if explicitly mentioned using: ./configure --enable-scripts

Comment 5 Lokesh Mandvekar 2013-04-19 22:42:20 UTC
PREFIX not needed in spec file, removed.

(In reply to comment #4)
> Upstream said, License is prepended to each file, so they won't be including
> a separate LICENSE file.

Unfortunately, upstream's unwillingness to add a LICENSE file does not absolve us from the BSD's requirement to provide a copy of the license along with binary copies of the software.  Please include a copy of the LICENSE somehow.

You could do something like this in %prep to avoid having to create your own LICENSE file:
head -n31 tipc-config/tipc-config.c | tail -n28 | sed 's/ \* //g' > LICENSE

Comment 7 Albert Strasheim 2013-04-22 11:21:15 UTC
As a matter of interest, is the Fedora kernel getting CONFIG_TIPC at some point?

Comment 8 Erik Hugne 2013-04-22 12:03:18 UTC
(In reply to comment #7)
> As a matter of interest, is the Fedora kernel getting CONFIG_TIPC at some
> point?
It was actually included in earlier versions of Fedora.
But back then, there was a parallell development track on Sourceforge going on that left the in-kernel code basically unmaintained.
This understandably led to this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574800

Since then, the Sourceforge track have been dropped and merged to the kernel.

Comment 9 Lokesh Mandvekar 2013-04-22 16:17:51 UTC
Sorry for the (possible) double post, I tried commenting via email, but doesn't seem to have worked. Anyway:

%changelog
* Mon Apr 22 2013 Lokesh Mandvekar <lsm5> - 2.0.5-4
- LICENSE file generated

Comment 10 T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-04-23 01:19:06 UTC
In the future, please don't forget to provide and update the standalone spec file URL.  It makes it easier to check that simple little things like this have been fixed.

This package is APPROVED.

Please file a bug against the kernel if this package needs configuration options in the kernel turned on to be functional.

Comment 11 Lokesh Mandvekar 2013-04-23 22:18:12 UTC
T.C: Thanks for approving this, I'll be mindful of that moving forward.
