Description Aniket Pradhan 2021-10-01 17:24:44 UTC
Spec URL: https://major.fedorapeople.org/python-pybv/python-pybv.spec
SRPM URL: https://major.fedorapeople.org/python-pybv/python-pybv-0.6.0-1.fc34.src.rpm

Description: pybv is a lightweight exporter to the BrainVision data format. The BrainVision
data format is a recommended data format for use in the Brain Imaging Data
Structure. BrainVision is the name of a file format commonly used for storing
electrophysiology data. Originally, it was put forward by the company Brain
Products, however the simplicity of the format has allowed for a diversity
of tools reading from and writing to the format.

The format consists of three separate files:

* A text header file (.vhdr) containing meta data
* A text marker file (.vmrk) containing information about events in the data
* A binary data file (.eeg) containing the voltage values of the EEG

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

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

===== Issues =====

- It was recently pointed out that Sphinx-generated HTML documentation contains
  bundled and pre-minified JavaScript that is very difficult to package in
  strict compliance with the relevant guidelines, and that even if these can be
  packaged successfully, they should contribute to the License of the -doc
  subpackage.

  Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2006555 and the
  packaging mailing list thread
  https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/LLUAURXZVADATHK65HBPPBHKF4EM4UC3/
  for detailed discussion.

  At this time, it seems you have two reasonable choices:

    * The Sphinx-generated PDF documentation *may* be acceptable. (There is an
      open discussion on whether embedded fonts in PDFs should be considered a
      problem.) For the time being, I’ve mostly been switching my existing
      Sphinx-generated (and Doxygen-generated) documentation subpackages to
      PDFs rather than removing them altogether. Here’s an example of how that
      can be done:
      https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-asyncpg/c/5596d0e7ac63b4c685cd73a991f0e5266759abe4?branch=rawhide

    * You could remove the -doc subpackage entirely, and refrain from packaging
      the documentation—a loss, in my opinion, but an easy solution.

Comment 2 Aniket Pradhan 2021-10-24 10:38:58 UTC
Hi Ben!

Really sorry for the delay... I had to remove the documentation in all because of issues in the generated tex file. It is not much of a loss, to be frank, since the documentation is generally available online. I have updated the sources in the above links (pasting them below too, for ease).

> SRPM URL: https://major.fedorapeople.org/python-pybv/python-pybv-0.6.0-1.fc34.src.rpm

Let me know if other changes are required.

Comment 4 Ben Beasley 2021-10-24 12:50:10 UTC
If you’re interested in converting this or any of your other Python packages to the “new guidelines” (pyproject-rpm-macros), I’m happy to help by answering questions or offering a PR.

Comment 5 Aniket Pradhan 2021-10-24 14:37:36 UTC
Ahh, sure... I'll try converting this package to use the pyproject-rpm-macros...

Last I remember they worked only for projects using pyproject.toml file, but I have been out of touch lately, and there has been amazing development on it.

Comment 6 Gwyn Ciesla 2021-10-24 15:45:44 UTC
(fedscm-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pybv

They work quite well for all but the most exotic Python packages, pyproject.toml or not. The new Python packaging guidelines (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/) require them. The old Python guidelines (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python_201x/) are considered deprecated, but packaging under them is still allowable.

The few packages I have not yet been able to convert are generally those that build multiple Python packages with distinct metadata from a single source archive (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-opentelemetry, https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grpc, https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gaupol). Packages that are still using distutils instead of setuptools or a PEP517 build system like flit/poetry/build are extremely rare now (gaupol is one), but they wouldn’t work either.

Not having to manually update BuildRequires all the time is a great selling point!
