Description: A C++ class library for developing systems and applications.
Fedora Account System Username: davidleemuse

Rudiments is the base library for SQL Relay and a few other projects of mine.

This is my first package, and I need a sponsor.

Here's a link to a successful Koji build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=10915810

Comment 1 Jens Lody 2015-09-11 09:01:59 UTC
The package does not build in fedora-review:

commandline:

fedora-review -m fedora-rawhide-x86_64 -b 1259002

error:

Comment 2 Jens Lody 2015-09-11 09:30:04 UTC
Besides this:

%clean can normally be removed,
rm -rf %buildroot is deprecated,
%defattr(-, root, root) also.

%{_datadir}/licenses/%{name} is unneeded as far as I know.

The descriptions just repeats the summary, is it possible to be more elaborately.

Comment 3 David Muse 2015-09-12 05:25:11 UTC
* %clean removed
* rm -rf %buildroot removed
* defattr removed
* %{_datadir}/licenses/%{name} removed
* updated summary
* added configure script patch for f23/f24

f24 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11057764

f23 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11057686

f22 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11057918

Comment 5 Jens Lody 2015-09-17 05:29:37 UTC
Created attachment 1074268 [details]
proposed rudiments.spec-patch

I attached a proposed patch for the spec-file, that creates a doc subpackage (large documentation) and finally fremoves the "rm -rf %{buildroot}"-call.
I also fixed the sourceforge-url, so it works (again?).
rpmlints spits out a false positive "only-non-binary-in-usr-lib"-error due to the *.so.symlink.
I changed the explicit *.so.*-names to  "%{_libdir}/librudiments-%{version}.so.*" in %files-section, so it can handle newer revisions also.

Comment 6 Jens Lody 2015-09-17 05:33:27 UTC
Created attachment 1074270 [details]
licensecheck.txt

I saw you are also upstream, so you should consider to update the COPYING-file to a recent LGPL, yours is quite old.

You should also fix the incorrect fsf-address upstream and mention the different licennse versions in the License-tag see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines?rd=Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios .

By the way: I forgot in my previous post the explicit docdir= in %install is unneeded, I also removed it in my proposed patch.

Comment 7 Jens Lody 2015-09-17 05:34:30 UTC
Still just informal and just a quick look, I hope I find the time to dig deeper into it soon.

Comment 8 Kevin Fenzi 2015-09-20 15:50:45 UTC
Hey David. I would be happy to review this and sponsor you. Could you look at addressing the issues/feedback Jens noted and post an updated spec/srpm for review? Thanks.

Comment 9 Upstream Release Monitoring 2015-09-25 05:15:02 UTC
davidleemuse's scratch build of rudiments-0.53-4.fc22.src.rpm for f22 completed http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11221591

Comment 10 David Muse 2015-09-25 05:53:09 UTC
updates:
* applied Jens' patch
* updated fsf address in 2 files where it was wrong
* updated COPYING and spec to be very specific about what licenses different parts of the distribution are covered by - mainly LGPL, various other files covered by GPL, example code covered by FSF Unlimited License (FSFUL).

Updated Spec: http://rudiments.sourceforge.net/rpm/rudiments.spec
Updated SRPM: http://rudiments.sourceforge.net/rpm/rudiments-0.53-4.fc22.src.rpm

f22 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11221591

f23 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11221664

f24 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11221780


Is an update to a newer version of the LGPL required for a successful review?

If so, I'll look into it.  I've considered updating to a newer version of the LGPL before though.  The legal nuances between the different versions are daunting to analyze and Rudiments has been covered by LGPL2 for 15 years without incident.

Comment 11 Kevin Fenzi 2015-09-27 18:30:13 UTC
So, you don't really need to mention the test and build scripts licenses. 
You want to list the license of the files in the binary packages. 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:FAQ?rd=Licensing/FAQ#Does_the_License:_tag_cover_the_SRPM_or_the_binary_RPM.3F

There's no need to change license version, LGPLv2 is fine, you just want to update the LGPLv2 COPYING file (they updated it when the fsf moved mailing addresses). 

One other minor thing I noticed from a prelim bit of testing:

rudiments.x86_64: W: unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64/librudiments-0.53.so.1.0.0 /lib64/libm.so.6

perhaps you don't need to link -lm? 

I'll go ahead and take this for review now, look for a full review a bit later hopefully today. ;)

Comment 12 Kevin Fenzi 2015-09-27 18:50:35 UTC
None of the issues I see are blocking, so I have sponsored you into the packager group and approved this review. However, if you could take a look at the non-blocking issues before importing that would be great. 

You should be able to continue the process from: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers?rd=PackageMaintainers/Join#Add_Package_to_Source_Code_Management_.28SCM.29_system_and_Set_Owner

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask me in private email, here, on the devel list or on irc in #fedora-devel. 

Welcome to the fun!

Issues:
=======
- Package installs properly.
  Note: Installation errors (see attachment)
  See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines
IGNORE: This seems to be a fedora-review bug where it's trying to install 
the debuginfo package twice. No actual issue here.

- non blocker: Perhaps the doc subpackage could be made noarch and not depend on 
the main package? (Also would need a copy of the license then). 
That would save space on mirrors and allow people to install the 
docs without needing to install the base package. 

- non blocker: Could you add comments for the patches in the spec 
file? If they have been submitted upstream/why they are needed?

- non blocker: Check the linking to -lm and remove if unneeded.
