Comment 1 Fabio Valentini 2021-12-18 13:42:06 UTC
This package built on koji:  https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=80150655

Comment 2 Fabio Valentini 2021-12-18 13:42:45 UTC
Note: This is a re-review of a retired package:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/switchboard-plug-onlineaccounts

Comment 3 Christopher Crouse 2021-12-18 15:53:11 UTC
Interesting, updating the spec to the following it will build successfully, without the sed cli command:

___

# remove the specified stock icon from appdata (invalid in libappstream-glib)
# sed -i '/icon type="stock"/d' %{buildroot}/%{_datadir}/metainfo/%{plug_rdnn}.appdata.xml

%check
appstreamcli validate \
     %{buildroot}/%{_datadir}/metainfo/%{plug_rdnn}.appdata.xml

___

Regardless, looks good. Should generate a patch to remove the specified stock icon from appdata and open an issue upsteam or change to above mentioned.

Comment 4 Christopher Crouse 2021-12-18 16:08:27 UTC
Would also recommend swopping the following two lines in the spec file's %files section to make them follow alphabetical order as they are on the filesystem.

Example:
___

%{_datadir}/metainfo/%{plug_rdnn}.appdata.xml

%{_libdir}/switchboard/%{plug_type}/lib%{plug_name}.so

___

Comment 5 Fabio Valentini 2021-12-30 17:40:01 UTC
> Interesting, updating the spec to the following it will build successfully, without the sed cli command:

Yeah, that's because appstreamcli is less restrictive than appstream-util when validating files. In particular, appstream-util (from appstream-glib) only recognises a hard-coded list of "stock icons", and some switchboard plugs use icons that are not on that "good list". However, since now all (?) AppStream consumers in Fedora have switched away from appstream-glib to appstream, that mandatory verification will probably change, too; see:

https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1053

> Should generate a patch to remove the specified stock icon from appdata

In this case, using a patch instead of sed is very annoying, because the environment of the changed line includes the latest version, so that patch would need to be re-generated for every version. And since the "sed" command doesn't modify lines, but only deletes one line (and the appdata validation would fail if something went wrong), I think using the simple sed script instead of a patch is justified.

> and open an issue upsteam or change to above mentioned.

As I said, it's not really an issue with upstream, but rather, the stock icon doesn't appear on appstream-glib's "good list":

https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/issues/360

And since no application uses appstream-glib for reading AppData any longer, that issue will go away soon, regardless.

> Would also recommend swopping the following two lines

Good point. Done. Updated files with same URLs.

Comment 6 Arthur Bols 2021-12-31 13:54:45 UTC
Thanks Christopher, you made some good points! I'll take over this review since you aren't (yet) a packager.

I found one issue (also reported by rpmlint below):
- Directories without known owners: /usr/share/locale/mo/LC_MESSAGES, /usr/share/locale/mo
  These should be owned by filesystem, but aren't. I sent an email to the devel list about this issue.

Comment 7 Fabio Valentini 2021-12-31 14:00:25 UTC
Thanks for the review!

> - Directories without known owners: /usr/share/locale/mo

Yeah, I know about this. Still, as you noted, there are probably hundreds of existing packages that are hit by similar problems for other deprecated langcodes as well, so I don't think the review should be blocked on basis of this problem (since it's not exactly a problem in this package, but either with "filesystem" or with upstream / ubuntu, which use deprecated langcodes).

> Note: No gcc, gcc-c++ or clang found in BuildRequires

Right, this package doesn't contain any C code, it only has Vala, which is transpiled to C, and the Vala compiler already pulls in gcc as a dependency.

> Note: A package with this name already exists

Yup, this is why I explicitly mentioned this fact in Comment 2 .
I'll go through the necessary steps for un-retirement after the re-review.

Comment 8 Arthur Bols 2021-12-31 14:24:17 UTC
These issues were found by fedora-review, my notes were meant to say "it's fine". :)

Since you're a provenpackager, and I agree with your point, I'll approve the package!

Comment 9 Fabio Valentini 2022-01-01 12:05:09 UTC
Thanks! I alsmo commented on your devel list thread.
The issue with "mo" translation files has been around for almost a decade ...

Built for all current branches of Fedora.
