Description Gerd Pokorra 2020-03-11 20:18:40 UTC
Spec URL: ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/spec/workspace.spec
SRPM URL: 
ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/srpm/workspace-0.0.20200310git-1.fc31.src.rpm

Description:
A **workspace** is a directory created in behalf of a user, associated with a
expiration date, to prevent disks from uncontrolled filling.
The project provides user and admin tools to manage those directories.

Comment 1 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2020-03-12 14:49:03 UTC
>Version:	0.0.20200310git
>Release:	1%{?dist}
If upstream has not decided on a version number, you should use 0 for the version and put the date+gitinfo in the Release tag.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Versioning/#_snapshots

In ws_python3_explicitly.patch:
>-#!/usr/bin/env python
>+#!/usr/bin/env python3
Do not use /usr/bin/env. Always specify the interpreter explicitly.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_shebang_lines

>install -m 755 contribs/ws_prepare %{buildroot}/usr/sbin/ws_prepare
1. Use %{_sbindir} here instead of "/usr/sbin".
2. Use the "-p" option to preserve the timestamp.

Some non-technical nitpicks:

>Summary:	A tool to create scratch directories by users with an expiration date
English makes it easy to create ambiguous sentences, but this one sounds like it allows users with an expiration date to create directories. I'd be worried if a user had an expiration date. ;)

Should be "_an_ expiration date".

Comment 2 Gerd Pokorra 2020-03-14 03:58:53 UTC
Yesterday version 1.0.0 has been released.

At the URL
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/spec/workspace.spec
is now provided the new Spec file suitable to the first release.

SRPM URL:
ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/srpm/workspace-1.0.0-1.fc31.src.rpm

New Description Text:

The project provides user and admin tools to manage those directories.

Comment 3 Gerd Pokorra 2020-03-17 08:39:04 UTC
Upstream has released workspace version 1.1.0.

At the URL
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/spec/workspace.spec
is provided the new Spec file appropriate to the version 1.1.0.
(It is a Link: workspace.spec -> workspace.spec.3)

new SRPM URL:
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/srpm/workspace-1.1.0-1.fc31.src.rpm


- add patch for version number
- improved the source tag
- updated to the new upstream version


Do you see still any issues?

Comment 4 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2020-03-17 14:22:33 UTC
I've ran the package through fedora-review and there's one major issue: there are suid binaries in the package - those should be compiled using PIE.
Add "%global _hardened_build 1" to the spec.

Comment 5 Gerd Pokorra 2020-03-17 15:11:10 UTC
The URL
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/spec/workspace.spec
Link is change to provide modified spec file (workspace.spec -> workspace.spec.4)

new SRPM URL:
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/srpm/workspace-1.1.0-2.fc31.src.rpm


last changelog:

- add use of _hardened_build

Comment 6 Gerd Pokorra 2020-03-18 15:11:41 UTC
Now I replaced the cmake command and used the %cmake macro, instead.

I patched the file 'CMakeLists.txt' so that it does not include CXXFLAGS settings.

Does this solve the major issue?  (I could patch the file 'CMakeLists.txt' to use the compiler option -fPIC.)

The Link of the URL
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/spec/workspace.spec
is changed to provide the modified spec file (workspace.spec -> workspace.spec.5).

new SRPM URL:
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/srpm/workspace-1.1.0-3.fc31.src.rpm


last changelog entry:

- remove the CXXFLAGS settings in CMakeLists.txt

Comment 7 Gerd Pokorra 2020-03-23 11:31:33 UTC
The Link of the URL
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/spec/workspace.spec
is changed to provide the modified spec file (workspace.spec -> workspace.spec.6).

new SRPM URL:
 - ftp://ftp.uni-siegen.de/pub/hpc-workspace/srpm/workspace-1.1.0-4.fc31.src.rpm

last changelog entry:

I think the rpmlint output could not be reduced any more.

Comment 8 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2020-03-27 15:01:06 UTC
 - Add a comment above the patch explaining why it is needed

 - Separate your BR one per line

- There are two binary named ws_restore, one in %{_bindir}, one in %{_sbindir}, wouldn't that cause issues?

I agree mildly. %{_bindir}/ws_restore is for users, %{_sbindir}/ws_restore is only for root to support the administrator at his daily work. May be %{_sbindir}/ws_restore could be renamed to %{_sbindir}/ws_restore_adm.
