Description Michel Alexandre Salim 2020-05-06 22:54:33 UTC
Spec URL: https://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/utils/psi-notify.spec
SRPM URL: https://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/utils/psi-notify-1.0.1-1.fc32.src.rpm
Description: 
psi-notify is a minimal unprivileged notifier for system-wide resource pressure
using PSI.

This can help you to identify misbehaving applications on your machine before
they start to severely impact system responsiveness, in a way which MemAvailable
or other metrics cannot.

Comment 1 Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-07 15:41:25 UTC
I'll take this.  What does PSI stand for?  Psychic System Intuition ?  :-)

Comment 2 Michel Alexandre Salim 2020-05-07 16:57:27 UTC
Pressure Stall Information -- but I like Psychic System Intuition better :)

I think it's also a US/UK pun, since psi is an Imperial unit of pressure :)

Comment 4 Michel Alexandre Salim 2020-05-07 19:02:53 UTC
Thanks for taking this Stuart. Could you set this to assigned and set the fedora-review flag?

Comment 5 Michel Alexandre Salim 2020-05-07 20:47:08 UTC
I think it's supposed to stay at '?' until you approve the package :)

Comment 6 Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-08 01:03:11 UTC
Sorry for taking so long.  This is my first formal review.  The package looks great to me, and built no problem, but I am trying to get the fedora-review package to run.  I may have to just go through the checklist manually.

no worries! This is probably a great package to start with as it's quite simple.

Replied on IRC, but this should work:

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

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


Issues:
=======
- systemd_user_post is invoked in %post and systemd_user_preun in %preun
  for Systemd user units service files.
  Note: Systemd user unit service file(s) in psi-notify
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_user_units

Reviewer note: the user service is enabled by default for all users.  I can see
  the reason for this (we are installing an extension to the desktop
  environments), but maybe the description should mention this.

- the (one) source file does not have a copyright in the source.  Advise
  upstream to include a copyright notice and reference the license in the
  source.  Or is this no longer recommended?

- Technically there should be a Requires: systemd - although this seems
  rather pedantic as all Fedora systems, including EPEL as of Nov, have
  systemd.  Maybe this is a bug in fedora-review.  It complains
  that e.g. /usr/lib/systemd has no documented owner. 

- Should demo.gif be included in %doc ?

They should not be; from the docs: "These enable and disable user units according to presets". And the presets default to disabling every unit that's not whitelisted; so the intention is a sysadmin / org can ship a custom preset and pre-enable some services.

That's definitely recommended. I'll notify upstream. Thanks for noticing!

Will add that.

Comment 10 Michel Alexandre Salim 2020-05-08 16:58:13 UTC
so - looking at the file/directory ownership guidelines; since psi-notify actually works fine if you run it from the CLI, without using the systemd unit, I'm going to just make it co-own /usr/lib/systemd/user:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_the_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

it does pull in systemd-libs because it's compiled against it, but this is a much smaller surface than pulling in the entire systemd -- in case someone wants to run this in a minimal environment (e.g. a container). note that the scriptlets already check if systemctl is executable so they don't pre-assume systemd is installed.

Comment 11 Michel Alexandre Salim 2020-05-08 17:20:52 UTC
Spec URL: https://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/utils/psi-notify.spec
SRPM URL: https://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/utils/psi-notify-1.0.1-1.fc32.src.rpm

all the changes requested, except I have not requested the license header from upstream yet -- still trying to find an example of a major project that does this for reference (e.g. a lot of Rust code is dual-MIT-Apache licensed but the few I just checked don't have per-file license headers :/

Comment 12 Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-08 17:59:02 UTC
In Fedora 31:

$ rpm -ql fedora-release-common | grep user-preset
/usr/lib/systemd/user-preset
/usr/lib/systemd/user-preset/90-default-user.preset

In Fedora 32:

$ rpm -ql fedora-release-common | grep user-preset
/usr/lib/systemd/user-preset
/usr/lib/systemd/user-preset/90-default-user.preset
/usr/lib/systemd/user-preset/99-default-disable.preset

That is why it was enabled by default on F31.  So it won't be a problem going forward.

Comment 13 Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-08 19:29:41 UTC
I think it is good enough now.  Setting the flag to +

Comment 14 Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-08 19:33:25 UTC
I will continue to investigate whether the additional clause in the MIT license variant is an issue:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Since this is already a Fedora requirement anyway, I don't see how it could be an issue - but IANAL.

Comment 15 Stuart D Gathman 2020-05-08 19:46:02 UTC
nvm - It is the "feh" variant.  We are good to go.  Do I need to close the bug?

Oh, good to know. I'll gate it to Fedora 32 and above before committing then. Thanks for checking! I wrote this the day after I upgraded my last F31 machine, of course, heh.

No need to close the bug, I'll assign it back to myself and link it to the package being pushed so Bodhi will close this when it hits stable. Thanks so much!

(also since somebody sniped the package you wanted reviewed, feel free to ask for a review next time)
