Description František Dvořák 2015-11-07 22:59:45 UTC

Description: A Fast Fourier Transform based up on the principle, "Keep It Simple, Stupid". Kiss FFT is a very small, reasonably efficient, mixed radix FFT library that can use either fixed or floating point data types.

* koji build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11746945

Comment 1 Dmitry Mikhirev 2015-12-24 21:05:11 UTC
An informal review.

* The correct version number should be 1.3.0, not 130 (according to folder names at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kissfft/files/kissfft/).
* As the complete library name is "Kiss FFT" and upstream source archive is named kiss_fft, probably the more correct name for package should be delimited, kiss-fft.
* Building only static libraries seems reasonable.

rpmlint output:

Checking: kissfft-devel-130-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm
          kissfft-130-1.fc23.src.rpm
kissfft-devel.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US radix -> radii, radio, rad ix
kissfft.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US radix -> radii, radio, rad ix
2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

Everything is OK.

Comment 2 Antonio T. (sagitter) 2015-12-25 17:43:15 UTC
If you just need to package static libs and header files, I think it's better naming this package 'kissfft-static' and providing header files separately in 'kissfft-devel'.

- These lines are redundant:

>%dir %{_includedir}/%{name}/
>%{_includedir}/%{name}/kfc.h
>%{_includedir}/%{name}/kiss_fft.h
>%{_includedir}/%{name}/kiss_fftnd.h
>%{_includedir}/%{name}/kiss_fftndr.h
>%{_includedir}/%{name}/kissfft.hh
>%{_includedir}/%{name}/kiss_fftr.h

You may use only:

%{_includedir}/%{name}/

- Why 'numpy' and 'Python2' among BR packages?

Comment 3 František Dvořák 2015-12-27 01:52:20 UTC
Thank you for the comments and checks.

Good catch, it is also in the ChangeLog this way.

OK. I weren't sure about the name:
* SF project name and header path are "kissfft"
* README is not consistent
* archive is kiss_fft

The "kiss-fft" will be better.

> * Building only static libraries seems reasonable.

Yes, it looks like the kissfft library is supposed to be bundled and compiled in the project using it, and there is no versioning of the library interface.

With 'kissfft-devel' and 'kissfft-static' one could expect source package 'kissfft'. I would prefer to not changing it (only renamed to 'kiss-fft' as Dmitry have suggested). It would be also ready for possible transition to the shared libraries.

But it is good point. I agree I don't have strong arguments here (and it is probably more about "packaging style").

OK, more simple spec file can be better. Updated.

Python is used in the tests in %check, with the mathematical operations from numpy.

Comment 4 Christopher Meng 2015-12-27 11:54:53 UTC
Thanks for packaging this, I need this package for another software.

Comment 5 Christopher Meng 2015-12-27 11:58:12 UTC
You can %global srcver underneath Version tag with sed substitution(s/\.//g)

> Thanks for packaging this, I need this package for another software.

So it's good there are all data types in the package :-) (for qm-dsp only float is needed). Which datatype is used in the software?

There are also needed some build flags with kissfft: -Dkiss_fft_scalar=$(DATATYPE) or -DFIXED_POINT=32 (16). I should probably add  pkgconfig files for it...

(In reply to Christopher Meng from comment #5)
> You can %global srcver underneath Version tag with sed substitution(s/\.//g)

OK, I've used this (to keep all macros on the top):

%global version 1.3.0
%global srcname kiss_fft
%global srcver %(echo %{version} | sed -e 's/\\.//g')


New version:

Comment 8 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-11-13 16:51:23 UTC
František, are you still interested in packaging this? If yes, I'll review.

Comment 9 František Dvořák 2016-11-14 00:19:43 UTC
Yes, I'm still interested. Thanks!

Comment 10 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-11-14 13:13:59 UTC
Please remove the definition of %version: just put the version in Version, rpm defines the macro %version automatically.

All %descriptions have an empty line at the beggining, it should be removed.

I'd change:
for type in float double int16 int32; do
    mkdir build_${type}
    pushd build_${type}
    CFLAGS="%{optflags}" LDFLAGS="%{?__global_ldflags}" \
    DATATYPE=${type} \
        make %{?_smp_mflags} -f %{SOURCE1} libdir=%{_libdir} srcdir=..
    popd
done
→
for type in float double int16 int32; do
    mkdir build_${type}
    %make_build -f %{SOURCE1} libdir=%{_libdir} srcdir=.. \
        CFLAGS="%{optflags}" LDFLAGS="%{?__global_ldflags}" \
        DATATYPE=${type}
done
(only because it's simpler...)

%{!?_licensedir:%global license %doc}
is not necessary, %license is now defined in all Fedora and EPEL versions.

Please add a comment that fftw is only used for benchmarking during build (FFTW is GPLv2).

Right, it will be better to not override %{version} macro. Updated.

There is difference between:

  make CFLAGS=...

and:

  CFLAGS=... make

I would rather not change it. It's only cosmetic hint anyway, right?
