Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-03-08 20:27:06 UTC
Spec URL: http://in.waw.pl/~zbyszek/fedora/python-mdp.spec

Description:
The Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP) package is a library of
widely used data processing algorithms, and the possibility to combine
them together to form pipelines for building more complex data
processing software. MDP has been designed to be used as-is and as a
framework for scientific data processing development.

From the user’s perspective, MDP consists of a collection of units,
which process data. For example, these include algorithms for
supervised and unsupervised learning, principal and independent
components analysis and classification. These units can be chained
into data processing flows, to create pipelines as well as more
complex feed-forward network architectures. Given a set of input data,
MDP takes care of training and executing all nodes in the network in
the correct order and passing intermediate data between the
nodes. This allows the user to specify complex algorithms as a series
of simpler data processing steps.

--
This is an old package, but it still finds use in the community because
some of the algorithms are not implemented anywhere else. A new version
has just been released so I though it a good time to add this to Fedora.

Build failure on rawhide - failure in tests

Build is failing on rawhide.

Comment 4 Jonathan Underwood 2016-03-09 11:29:36 UTC
This review was done with an F23 build, since the rawhide build fails,
and F24 is currently broken with regard to mock builds (some packages
are unsigned).

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

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


Issues:
=======

1/ The spec file in the SRPM and the spec file given in the URL are
   different! Sort this out.

2/ Build is failing on rawhide (build on rawhide is a blocker)

3/ Remove .buildinfo files from docs (I see this is done in one of the
specs, but not the other!)


===== MUST items =====

[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.

The test is probabilistic and seems to fail randomly. I disabled it.

(In reply to Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek from comment #5)
> The test is probabilistic and seems to fail randomly. I disabled it.

You should:
a) Report this as an upstream bug
b) Include a comment in the spec file explaining the test is failing and with a link to the upstream bug report

OK, looks good to me, other than the above small issue. APPROVED.

Thanks you for the review!

Comment 9 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-03-09 21:14:28 UTC
I reported the test failure on the mdp mailing list.
