I added the FE-NEEDSPONSOR because its been a few years since I was an active package maintainer, and it looked like I was no longer sponsored.

not, this is weird enough to merit a comment in the spec file.

Additional comments:

sitearch isn't required because there are no arch-specific components. You
should omit that.

sitelib is also superfluous for current distros, but you could leave it in for
building on RHEL 6 if you want.

As the version number is a bit tricky, I'd recommend defining it up at the top.
I played with it a bit and added:

%global pyvmomi_version 5.5.0-2014.1
%global pyvmomi_rpmversion %(echo %{pyvmomi_version} | tr "-" ".")

Which has the advantage of only needing to specify it once. You use
pyvmomi_rpmversion in Version:, and pyvmomi_version in Source0 and %prep.
However, this is a matter of preference. Feel free to ignore it.

Could you please justify all spec file values. e.g.

BuildRequires:  python2-devel python-setuptools
Requires:   python-requests python-six
BuildArch:      noarch

Comment 3 Matthew Booth 2014-08-22 17:43:10 UTC
There are a couple of blockers in there, but very easy to fix. Great work, thanks!

The automated tests would be extremely nice to have. However, if you really can't make it work it's not a blocker. If not, could you please add a comment to the spec file explaining why it doesn't work.

Comment 4 Shawn Hartsock 2014-08-26 15:18:27 UTC
Running tests is blocked on packaging for python-vcrpy and it's dependencies. The vcrpy upstream is here https://github.com/kevin1024/vcrpy and it has dependencies on PyYAML, contextdecorator, and the 'six' library.

Comment 5 Matthew Booth 2014-08-26 15:28:01 UTC
Ok, sounds like we aren't going to get the tests just yet. As I said, if you can add a comment explaining why we can't enable them that would be great. I'd only bother mentioning the immediate dep in the spec file: vcrpy.

Comment 6 Michael Rice 2014-09-01 00:28:56 UTC
Sorry about the delay in responses. I went on vacation. I am back now and have most of these changes addressed. I am currently working with upstream on some issues that cropped up in a bug fix release while I was out. Once they have those fixed up I will publish a new spec and SRPM file.

Thanks for the feedback thus far.

Comment 7 Michael Rice 2014-09-03 19:58:22 UTC
After speaking with upstream they have accepted the patch but are holding off on another bug release for a bit, so I have included the patch in the SRPM for now. Please see the updated SPEC and SRPM

SPEC:  https://github.com/michaelrice/python-pyvmomi-rpm/blob/master/python-pyvmomi.spec

SRPM: https://github.com/michaelrice/python-pyvmomi-rpm/raw/master/python-pyvmomi-5.5.0.2014.1-1.fc20.src.rpm

Comment 8 Michael Rice 2014-09-03 20:03:58 UTC
oops, somehow I messed up the SRPM.

Here is the correct link to the SRPM

SRPM: https://github.com/michaelrice/python-pyvmomi-rpm/raw/master/python-pyvmomi-5.5.0.2014.1.1-1.fc20.src.rpm

Comment 9 Michael Rice 2014-09-04 03:55:12 UTC
I noticed that fedora-review wasnt happy about the link I provided for the spec file, so I figured Id better update it with a link to the raw file

SPEC: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaelrice/python-pyvmomi-rpm/master/python-pyvmomi.spec

SRPM: https://github.com/michaelrice/python-pyvmomi-rpm/raw/master/python-pyvmomi-5.5.0.2014.1.1-1.fc20.src.rpm

Comment 10 Matthew Booth 2014-09-11 15:35:54 UTC
Very nice. I've re-reviewed and there are no longer any blockers. My sponsor status seems to be in limbo right now, which I'm chasing, but as soon as that's cleared up I'll approve this.

I still have a couple of non-blocking recommendations:

This doesn't need to be in there, as the package is noarch:

%{!?python2_sitearch: %global python2_sitearch %(%{__python2} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib(1))")}

You could simplify %files somewhat with:

%{python_sitelib}/*

in place of:

%{python_sitelib}/*.egg-info
%dir %{python_sitelib}/pyVmomi
%dir %{python_sitelib}/pyVim
%{python_sitelib}/pyVmomi/*
%{python_sitelib}/pyVim/*

(and the same for python3). These are equivalent in this package.

I haven't seen this incantation before:

%{!?_licensedir:%global license %%doc}

but it looks kosher. It's clearly defined, as the license is installed to /usr/share/licenses, and for the same reason I assume that the warning about that directory not being packaged is bogus. However, you don't need to define it twice, which you are currently doing. You could move the declaration up to the top and remove it from both %files sections.

Comment 11 Matthew Booth 2014-09-12 09:38:01 UTC
Pretty sure you already know this, but just in case you need to pick up the new package process here:
