Description Andreas Bierfert 2005-09-09 07:56:28 UTC

Spec Name or Url: http://fedora.lowlatency.de/review/polyxmass-data.spec
SRPM Name or Url: http://fedora.lowlatency.de/review/polyxmass-data-0.8.6-1.src.rpm
Description: 
polyxmass-data is a platform-independent package that contains all
textual/graphical data required to run the GNU polyxmass software out of
the box.  Namely, GNU polyxmassdata contains configuration files describing
polymer chemistry for a number of polymer types commonly found in nature:
protein, dna, rna, saccharides. These polymer chemistry definitions are
examples, and should be carefully reviewed by the user of the GNU polyxmass
software, in order to make sure that they fulfill their task in the
best way.

Comment 1 John Mahowald 2005-10-22 22:58:37 UTC

This data is necessary for polyxmass to be useful, so it is acceptable data

- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license (GPL) OK, text in %doc
- spec file legible
- source matches upstream
- package compiles on FC4 i386
- no BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file 

needs work:
- does not appear to own or require /usr/share/polyxmass
- rpmlint:
W: polyxmass-data non-conffile-in-etc
/etc/polyxmass/polchem-defs/polyxmass-data-polchem-defs-cat
W: polyxmass-data non-conffile-in-etc
/etc/polyxmass/polchem-defs/polyxmass-data-polchem-defs-atom-defs-dic

and a while lot of zero length .ogg files. Are the oggs necessary? The conffile
can probably be ignored, it's really a config file.

Comment 2 Andreas Bierfert 2005-10-22 23:21:08 UTC

Hm I don't know about the .ogg files but /usr/share/polyxmass is owned by
polyxmass-bin and thus ok because polyxmass-data requires polyxmass-bin... =)

Comment 3 John Mahowald 2005-10-23 03:09:31 UTC

OK, polyxmass-bin owns /usr/share/polyxmass. And the zero length isn't a big deal.

APPROVED

Now waiting on polyxmass-bin.

If the files in /etc/polyxmass really are config files, perhaps then they should
be marked as such?

%config %{_sysconfdir}/polyxmass/polchem-defs*
or
%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/polyxmass/polchem-defs/*

Comment 5 Andreas Bierfert 2005-10-24 08:57:33 UTC

I have been thinking about this for some time and while these are definitions
used by the program I don't think they are config files in the rpm sense that
comes to mind when thinking about %config.

Perhaps a better location for them would be %{_datadir}/polyxmass rather than
%{_sysconfdir}/polyxmass then? Is that feasible?

Comment 7 Andreas Bierfert 2005-10-26 06:36:21 UTC

Hm... I guess leaving them and marking them as %config is the best way to go
after all if this is ok with you...

Build for fc{3,4,5}

Thanks for the review :)
