This is my first package and review request, so I am looking for a sponsor. I have made a scratch build of the linked SRPM in Koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5618830

There are some rpmlint warnings, and I would be grateful for advice on those:

gtk-vim-syntax.spec:15: W: non-standard-group Application/Editors
gtk-vim-syntax.spec: W: no-%build-section
gtk-vim-syntax.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: gtk-vim-syntax-20130716.tar.gz
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 3 warnings.

I sent an email before packaging to ask for a release and for the example configuration file to be updated, and the upstrem release yesterday had the requested change.

Comment 1 Christopher Meng 2013-07-18 02:19:07 UTC
Just remove 

rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

And everything is OK.

Comment 2 David King 2013-07-18 08:30:18 UTC
Thanks for the suggestion. I updated the .spec and srpm with that change in place, and did another scratch build in Koji:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5626070

Comment 3 Veaceslav Mindru 2013-07-30 07:30:53 UTC
Hello David ,

I think this should be corrected. 

>Source0:        gtk-vim-syntax-20130716.tar.gz

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package#SPEC_file_overview 

Source0: The full URL for the compressed archive containing the (original) pristine source code, as upstream released it. "Source" is synonymous with "Source0". If you give a full URL (and you should), its basename will be used when looking in the SOURCES directory. If possible, embed %{name} and %{version}, so that changes to either will go to the right place. Preserve timestamps when downloading source files. If there is more than one source, name them Source1, Source2 and so on. If you're adding whole new files in addition to the pristine sources, list them as sources after the pristine sources. A copy of each of these sources will be included in any SRPM you create, unless you specifically direct otherwise. See Source URL for more information on special cases (e.g. revision control). 

I still can see errors reported by rpmlint 

[mindruv@localhost tmp]$ rpmlint  gtk-vim-syntax.spec 
gtk-vim-syntax.spec:15: W: non-standard-group Application/Editors
gtk-vim-syntax.spec: W: no-%build-section
gtk-vim-syntax.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: gtk-vim-syntax-20130716.tar.gz
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 3 warnings.
[mindruv@localhost tmp]$ 


>#URL:           http://physics.muni.cz/~yeti/vim/

I would also recommend to drop comments if not carrying vital information. As this is waste of bytes.

Comment 4 Veaceslav Mindru 2013-07-30 08:07:59 UTC
Hello David ,

i take my words back regarding Source0, this is compliant with. Source0 requirements , however i think you should remove comments:

>#URL:           http://physics.muni.cz/~yeti/vim/
>#Source0:       http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=20534

Comment 5 David King 2013-08-08 10:11:16 UTC
Thanks for the comments Veaceslav. I added an empty build section and corrected the group to avoid the first two rpmlint warnings. I do not think that I can avoid the other warnings, due to renaming the original tarball. I removed the URL comment, but I think that the Source0 comment is useful as it gives the direct download URL for the unversioned tarball. This seems to fit with the "Troublesome URLs" part of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Troublesome_URLs

I updated the .spec and srpm with that change in place, and did another scratch build in Koji:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5793446

Comment 6 Michael Schwendt 2013-08-09 16:14:07 UTC
As I think the package should follow the Addon Packages naming policy and start with "vim-" in its name,

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28General.29

I've posted to packaging list about this. Such a parent-child naming scheme doesn't work well, if some packages apply it while others don't:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2013-August/009422.html

Comment 7 David King 2013-09-07 10:43:13 UTC
Thanks for the package naming guidance Michael. I have renamed the specfile, uploaded it and the srpm to:

http://amigadave.com/temp/vim-gtk-syntax.spec
http://amigadave.com/temp/vim-gtk-syntax-20130716-1.fc20.src.rpm

I also did a scratch build in Koji:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5907435

Comment 8 David King 2013-12-12 20:34:48 UTC
I have now been sponsored into the packager group, so just need a formal review.

Comment 9 Christopher Meng 2013-12-13 03:31:07 UTC
Please use this:

https://github.com/vim-scripts/gtk-vim-syntax/releases

Also add a note at %build like "Nothing to build"

Comment 10 David King 2013-12-13 09:11:42 UTC

That does not seem like a good idea, as the vim-scripts repository is not up-to-date. Comparing https://github.com/vim-scripts?tab=activity against http://www.vim.org/scripts/ it looks like there is a week or two of updates missing. Based on the open bug reports, it seems like there are quite a few problems with the scraper script used to maintain vim-scripts.org: https://github.com/vim-scraper/vim-scraper/issues

As Debian and Gentoo use the vim.org/scripts location, I think it is best to do the same, and have a comment in the spec mentioning the unversioned location upstream.

> Also add a note at %build like "Nothing to build"

Done. I did a scratch build for Rawhide with that change:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6286862

Comment 11 David King 2014-03-19 18:43:13 UTC
Hey, any change that we can move forward with the review? It has been a few months without a response. If you are too busy, I can follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews#Reviewer_not_responding and reset the review flag in 1 week.

Comment 12 Christopher Meng 2014-03-21 02:45:18 UTC
PACKAGE APPROVED.

Please update the spec(Also add a note at %build like "Nothing to build")

++++++++++++

One note:

You can use the github mirror to track the updates in CNUCNU(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring)

One idea:

Fedora doesn't have vim packaging guideline, do you want to create one(I can help)?

Sorry one thing I forgot to paste:

Summary:        Vim syntax highlighting for GLib, Gtk+, Xlib, Gimp, Gstreamer, and more


Toooooo loooooong per 79 chars/line.

Comment 15 David King 2014-03-21 08:44:09 UTC
Thanks for the suggestions. I updated the spec and SRPM in place with those. There is also a scratch build at:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6657945

I have started writing some guidelines at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Amigadave/VimGuidelines

I will need to read up on some of the other application-specific guidelines to come up with a good document, so feel free to edit it.

Don't forget that the "Summary" tag doesn't count, so the summary "Vim syntax highlighting for GLib, Gtk+, Xlib, Gimp, Gstreamer, and more" is just 71 chars.

72 ;)

My fault, damn I don't know why I commented...

Sorry for the confusion David...

Comment 19 Michael Schwendt 2014-03-21 09:25:45 UTC
> 72 ;)

Christopher, I didn't count them by hand, so assume the column number in Emacs was correct. To verify:

$ echo -n "Vim syntax highlighting for GLib, Gtk+, Xlib, Gimp, Gstreamer, and more" | wc -c
71

Comment 20 David King 2014-03-21 09:29:37 UTC
Thanks, it is god to know about the limit. I think that the new summary is a bit better anyway, even though the old one did not go over the limit.

After reading this, I finally understand that we are not talking about the same thing......

Let's stop.

Comment 22 Michael Schwendt 2014-03-21 09:47:59 UTC
It would be much better, if you made an attempt at trying to explain what you talk about (since comment 14).
