Looks good.  rpmlint check passes.  Only a couple of minor issues:

"
BuildRequires:	autoconf
BuildRequires:	automake
BuildRequires:	libtool
BuildRequires:	glibc-common
"

Does the build actually require autoconf, automake, libtool?  I don't see any call to `autoreconf` or the like.  Does the build require gcc?  Other similar build tools?  Looks like glibc-common is for iconv.  I suggest using

"
BuildRequires:  glibc-common
BuildRequires:  gcc
"

Please make sure the Changelog section looks like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Changelogs
That is, line begins with a dash "-" followed by a single space " " followed by the text.

Hi Rich,

You're right. It's updated.

Thanks for review.

looks good

Is this .spec file derived from https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-pkg-rhel-centos/blob/master/rpmbuild/SPECS/libfastjson.spec ?

I have tried it out locally on my F21 box, and it builds cleanly.  I have created a COPR build for all supported streams, and it seems to have succeed for epel7 and fedora builds, but failed for epel 5 and epel 6.

See https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/portante/libfastjson/build/173999/

I'd like to see this spec file sync'd up with the existing one at:

https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-pkg-rhel-centos/blob/master/rpmbuild/SPECS/libfastjson.spec

Hi Peter,

My spec was derived from json-c library.

Thanks for your review, there are new files:

http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xsroka00/libfastjson-0.99.2-2.fc23.src.rpm


rsroka

Looks good to me.  I build it locally on F21, and took that source tar ball and ran it through a full COPR build and it all possible environments built.

See: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/portante/libfastjson/monitor/

Just curious, how come we don't use autoconf?

Thanks!

> Just curious, how come we don't use autoconf?

There doesn't seem to be any need for it (correct me if I'm wrong).

The EPEL5 build would fail due to a missing macro but that is worked around by adding -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS. Upstream solved this by adding AC_PROG_CC_C99 to configure.ac in the upcoming release.

A spec file from upstream mentions running autoreconf to get rid of rpath. I haven't observed it being added in either Fedora or EPEL builds even without autoreconf.

> Name: libfastjson
> Group: Development/Libraries

And after many years, in 2016 the base group for runtime library packages still is "System Environment/Libraries". I wonder which packages you've looked at as examples?

Btw, nowadays the Group tag is optional:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Tags_and_Sections


> Requires:	pkgconfig

Unjustified and overly restrictive. There is absolutely no need for an explicit dependency on pkgconfig. Certainly you could use libfastjson-devel without using pkg-config. Further, for several years already, there are automatic Requires/Provides for packages containing and depending on .pc files.


> %check
> make V=1 check
>
> %install

That's the wrong order of those sections. Not a major issue, but the %check section is processed _after_ %install (so it would be possible to run checks inside the buildroot).

This is new libfastjson package:

http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xsroka00/libfastjson-0.99.4-1.fc24.src.rpm
http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xsroka00/libfastjson.spec

I made a review of the package, everything seems OK.
