Description Michal Ambroz 2014-10-22 23:58:59 UTC
Hello,
Please I would like to ask you for review of a new openvas package.

SPEC: http://rebus.fedorapeople.org/SPECS/openvas-gsa.spec
SRPM: http://rebus.fedorapeople.org/SRPMS/openvas-gsa-5.0.3-1.fc20.src.rpm

Description:
The Greenbone Security Assistant (GSA) is a lean web service offering a user
web interface for the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS).
The GSA uses XSL transformation style-sheets that converts OMP responses
from the OpenVAS infrastructure into presentable HTML.

Comment 2 Xavier Bachelot 2014-11-06 09:50:00 UTC
No formal review yet, but a couple comments :
- Summary could be : "OpenVAS graphical user interface", it seems clearer and doesn't repeat the package name. 
- The sysvinit subpackage is only relevant for EL5 and EL6. It might be better to build either sysvinit or systemd depending on the target OS. Also I think the (Build)Requires on systemd would fail on EL5/EL6 and the %{_unitdir} will be undefined.
- There's a disabled patch (Patch2).
- Typo : "# Log direcotry" --> "# Log directory".
- %{_sysconfdir}/openvas/ is not owned.
- Nitpick : Add a / at the end of the following line in the %files section to make it even more obvious it is a directory : %dir %{_localstatedir}/log/openvas

Comment 3 Xavier Bachelot 2014-11-06 15:29:13 UTC
Did you try to build in mock ? The spec is missing some BuildRequires.
I added the following to have a build succeed (in an F21 chroot) :
BuildRequires:    libgcrypt-devel
BuildRequires:    libxslt-devel
BuildRequires:    libmicrohttpd-devel
BuildRequires:    doxygen
BuildRequires:    xmltoman
BuildRequires:    gpgme-devel

Comment 4 Xavier Bachelot 2014-11-06 15:36:35 UTC
Relevant rpm warnings :
openvas-gsa.i686: E: missing-call-to-setgroups-before-setuid /usr/sbin/gsad
openvas-gsa.i686: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/openvas-gsa/CHANGES
openvas-gsa.i686: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/openvas-gsa/ChangeLog
openvas-gsa.i686: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/logrotate.d/openvas-gsa

It seems the disabled patch2 deals with the first rpmlint warning, but as it's not applied nor included, I can't tell for sure.

Comment 5 Michal Ambroz 2014-11-07 02:43:21 UTC
SPEC: http://rebus.fedorapeople.org/SPECS/openvas-gsa.spec
SRPM: http://rebus.fedorapeople.org/SRPMS/openvas-gsa-5.0.4-2.fc20.src.rpm

Hello Xavier,
thanks for having a look.

- removed sysvinit support
- added setgroups patch as noted by the rpmlint
- fixed encoding problems for the changelogs
- marked logrotate script as config

>- Summary could be : "OpenVAS graphical user interface",
> it seems clearer and doesn't repeat the package name.
I already renamed from greenbone-security-assistant to openvas-gsa to keep the openvas naming convention. I agree shorter name would be nice, but I believe the Greenbone deserves its name at least in the summary. That way it makes it also easier to be searched by "yum search"

>- %{_sysconfdir}/openvas/ is not owned.
It is owned by openvas-libraries, which is in the requirements of this package. This is aligned with:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership
 
>It seems the disabled patch2 deals with the first rpmlint warning,
>but as it's not applied nor included, I can't tell for sure.
I was already trying, but didn't know the proper syntax required. Now it should be ok.

Bump to Openvas version 8 (available in rawhide)

Comment 7 Xavier Bachelot 2015-06-23 12:45:57 UTC
openvas-gsa.i686: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) Greenbone -> Green bone, Green-bone, Greene
openvas-gsa.i686: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 6.0.3-1 ['6.0.3-2.fc23', '6.0.3-2']
openvas-gsa.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) Greenbone -> Green bone, Green-bone, Greene

openvas-gsa.src:26: W: macro-in-comment %{name}
openvas-gsa.src:55: W: macro-in-comment %patch2

- Fix the release, either in the Release macro or in the changelog.
- Fix the perms on the files used as Source (644 I guess).
- Remove everything about Patch2.
- The spelling warnings can be ignored.

Comment 8 Xavier Bachelot 2015-06-23 13:08:39 UTC
- COPYING needs to be tagged %license. EL6 and 7 don't understand %license, but that can be worked around using %{!?_licensedir:%global license %%doc}.
- The timestamp is not preserved while converting CHANGES and Changelog files to utf8. You can use touch to change the .utf8 files timestamp before moving them.
- Add a / at the end of the %{_datadir}/openvas/gsa in %files to make it more obvious its a directory.

Comment 9 Michal Ambroz 2015-06-24 02:01:03 UTC

Comment 11 Xavier Bachelot 2015-06-24 09:12:34 UTC
Hi Michal,

Almost everything looks clean now, thank you.
The only remaining potential issue I see is some directories ownership. iiuc, the scanner, manager and client can all be installed on different machines, so /etc/openvas and /usr/share/openvas should also be owned by the client. I ticked both the "Package must own all directories that it creates" and "Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages" for that purpose, but I guess only the former needs fixing while the later is fine. Let me know what you think. Once that is clarified, the package will be good to go.

Regards,
Xavier

Comment 12 Michal Ambroz 2015-06-24 11:18:40 UTC
Hello Xavier,
I believe we had this discussion already with some of the other packages from the suite.
Both /etc/openvas and /usr/share/openvas are already explicitly owned by the dependecy - openvas-libraries. 
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/openvas-libraries.git/tree/openvas-libraries.spec

As you cannot have openvas-gsa (or cli or scanner or manager) without the base libraries package, I believe this condition is already met and there is not need to own these two directories in each of the suite packages.

However I do not have any strong feelings about that. Last time we have been checking we have found examples both ways in other packages. 

We have %dir %{_sysconfdir}/openvas/ in both scanner and manager and %dir %{_datadir}/openvas in manager, so for consistency I will add it to openvas-gsa  as well.

Best regards
Michal Ambroz

Comment 13 Xavier Bachelot 2015-06-24 11:53:05 UTC
Sorry for missing the earlier comment on the directories ownership. So if openvas-libraries own them already, that is fine. Anyway, consistency is also good, so it's fine both ways, do as you prefer.

openvas-gsa is thus APPROVED.

Do you plan on adding back support for sysvinit and thus EL6 ? The other pieces are available for EL6 already (for EL5 too, but I guess supporting EL5 at this point in time isn't really useful).

Thank you,
Xavier

Comment 14 Michal Ambroz 2015-06-24 12:16:26 UTC
Yes I plan to add support for sysvinit/EL6 same as it is in the other packages,
if it is feasible to compile it there. I am not sure how well it will go with the dependencies. Primary EPEL target for now will be EPEL7.
