Now you must use the %license macro to include the license text instead of %docs.

Comment 4 Francesco Frassinelli (frafra) 2015-11-13 18:33:25 UTC
Thanks for your review. I fixed every issue except the problem with those bundled libraries.

rbtree.c should be related with an older kernel, but it's not there, and I don't think requiring kcbench-data is a good idea (it contains a copy of Linux 4.0 and it requires more than 100 MB of dependencies).

I can remove the remaining files with those commands:
sed -i 's/rbtree\.h //' Makefile
sed -i 's/list\.h\ //' Makefile
rm rbtree.h list.h

My problem is how to compile the program. I can include a bunch of kernel-headers directories, but I get a huge list of errors. I'm executing something like this:
make LIBRARY_FLAGS="-I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux"

There's another problem related to bundled libraries: the program now includes (in the latest version - 0.10) libxxhash and libbloom. None of them are not included in Fedora. Should I package them?

Latest version:
https://frafra.fedorapeople.org/copr/duperemove.spec
https://frafra.fedorapeople.org/copr/duperemove-0.10-1.fc23.src.rpm

Comment 5 James Hogarth 2016-01-14 14:34:18 UTC
I'd say libbloom and libxxhash realistically should be packaged separately and then this blocked against those...

Note that btrfs-progs-devel includes rbtree.h ... you might try building against that (though I've not had a chance to check the exposed functions yet) ...

It might be better to have pkgconfig(glib-2.0) and pkgconfig(sqlite3) in the BR instead of naming the packages specifically.

Rather than naming SBINDIR and MANDIR specifically you can just pass PREFIX=%{_prefix} in to the %make_install 

Especially given how few files there are (only 8 including the man pages) I'd specifically list them rather than doing general globs of %{_mandir} and %{_sbindir} to avoid accidents in capturing too much during packaging.

Note that there is a csum-test which can be used to check the algorithm is being used correctly ... adding a %check to the spec file with something  akin to this appears to work building against an F23 mock of the git master:

%check
dd if=/dev/urandom of=4kfilerand count=1 bs=4096
tgt_hash="$(sha256sum ./4kfilerand)"
[[ "$(./csum-test -b 1024 --hash=sha256 ./4kfilerand | grep 4kfilerand)" == "${tgt_hash}" ]]
[[ "$(./csum-test -b 4096 --hash=sha256 ./4kfilerand | grep 4kfilerand)" == "${tgt_hash}" ]]

Note there are dedup patches being proposed for 4.5 on the btrfs mailing list at the moment so it's not actually clear if this particular tool has a future anyway if btrfs-progs gets an actual dedup subcommand...

I've sent a mail into the list to get clarification on this.

Comment 6 James Hogarth 2016-01-21 15:00:57 UTC
The dedupe stuff happening is solely around in-band so this tool still has a use.

Francesco are you still interested in packing this (and now the two dependencies identified of course, I'd defend the use of the rbtree stuff though realistically since it's not linked in via those headers).

I've marked it as blocking to make it clear :)

Do you have the other library in review to block as well?

Thank you :)

> Do you have the other library in review to block as well?

No, I'm sorry.

Comment 10 James Hogarth 2016-09-21 09:09:43 UTC
Hi Francesco

With the changes to policy in the past 6 months or so I'm removing the blocker ... especially since the included xxhash is so far behind the xxhash upstream it's just painful trying to unbundle (see https://github.com/markfasheh/duperemove/issues/146).

I have some time to finalise this now - do you have time to proceed with it or would you prefer I carried out a fresh review request to push through, and then when you have further time I can add you as a co-maintainer?

Comment 11 Francesco Frassinelli (frafra) 2016-12-31 17:59:58 UTC
Hi James,
I tried to include rbtree.h and list.h from btrfs-progs-devel, with no success (warnings and errors). I think it would be quicker to let you do the job, because I am not sure how to proceed (I think we should use kernel-devel as building dependency, but I don't know how to include the sources correctly) :)

Comment 12 gabe 2017-12-05 05:48:08 UTC
Has there been any progress on this?

Comment 13 Eric Sandeen 2018-03-07 15:58:11 UTC
XFS has removed the "experimental" tag from reflink, so for filesystems created with the reflink feature, duperemove can now be used on XFS as well.  So I'd really like to see this move forward; anything I can do to help?

Comment 14 Eric Sandeen 2018-03-07 16:21:11 UTC
xxhash has been packaged for fedora:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xxhash

and libbloom has been removed from duperemove:

646f547 Remove bloom filter code as we no longer use it

Comment 15 Jonathan Dieter 2018-09-10 11:30:43 UTC
Not sure if anyone is still interested in packaging this, but I have updated packages that unbundle xxhash.

https://www.jdieter.net/downloads/duperemove.spec
https://www.jdieter.net/downloads/duperemove-0.11-1.fc28.src.rpm

If Francesco isn't interested, but someone is interested in reviewing, I would be happy to take this.

Comment 16 Jonathan Dieter 2018-10-12 09:40:21 UTC
This review appears to be stalled.  Francesco, if you're still interested in packaging this, I'd be happy to help, but, if not, I would like to take it over.  Please respond one way or another within a week.

Sorry for the late reply, I just moved to another country and I am pretty busy. Feel free to continue the process.

Comment 18 Jonathan Dieter 2018-10-13 19:51:33 UTC
Francesco, thanks so much for responding so quickly.  I've opened up a new review request and would appreciate a review from anyone still interested in getting this into Fedora.
