Description:
This is a collection of modules ("vmods") extending Varnish VCL used
for describing HTTP request/response policies with additional
capabilities. This collection contains the following vmods (previously
kept individually): cookie, vsthrottle, header, saintmode, softpurge,
tcp, var, xkey

Review remarks predefended

* License check lists some files lacking a proper license header.
  I have checked with upstream that all source files are BSD.
  I have requested that a license header is added to all source
  files. Upstream issue #9

* BuildRoot header is added. This is for epel backwards compatibility.

* Package does run rm -rf %{buildroot}. This is for epel backwards
  compatibility.

Comment 2 Ingvar Hagelund 2016-08-10 11:57:55 UTC
Updated specfile: https://ingvar.fedorapeople.org/varnish/varnish-modules.spec
Updated src.rpm:  https://ingvar.fedorapeople.org/varnish/varnish-modules-0.9.1-1.fc24.src.rpm

* Fri Aug 05 2016 Ingvar Hagelund <ingvar> 0.9.1-1
- New upstream release
- Build man pages, buildrequires python-docutils
- Added a patch for tests/cookie/08-overflow.vtc, upping workspace_client,
  the default is too small on 32bit
- Removed extra cflags for el5, fixed with patch from upstream
- Force readable docs and debug files, they tend to end up with mode 600

Tested build on, aarch64, armv7l, i386, and x86_64

Comment 3 Ingvar Hagelund 2016-08-10 12:12:19 UTC
Copr builds for el5, el6, el7: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ingvar/varnish41/build/440152/

Comment 4 Ingvar Hagelund 2016-08-11 11:54:21 UTC
I think this update addresses all issues reported in Athmane's review. The latest version also have fixed the license issue.

As a bonus, it will build nicely on el5 as well, given it has rst2man, as for instance found in the rpmforge package  of python-docutils-0.6-1.

Comment 5 Dridi Boukelmoune 2016-09-26 07:53:53 UTC
May I suggest per-module virtual provides?

So that a user could `dnf install vmod-cookie` for instance. With this package and my own submission in bug 1379174 I think we should also aim for vmod-specific packaging guidelines. I had already briefly touched on this topic, regarding Varnish's own virtual provides in bug 1303543.

Sure! Could you provide an updated spec?

Changes:

- Removed patches that are included upstream
- Virtual provides per module
- el5 build fix

Comment 10 Dridi Boukelmoune 2016-09-26 13:12:46 UTC
I'm certainly against the varnish ABI dependency, I will submit a patch as you requested. In the mean time please remove:

    Requires: varnishabi-5.0

For the virtual provides, I would add the %{release}-%{version} but it's not a must in the packaging guidelines IIRC.

    Provides: vmod-cookie = %{release}-%{version}

Cheers

Well, that certainly is interesting. I've been trying to get scn (upstream) to explain what how I can ensure compatibilty among versions of varnish and vmods, but I've never got a 100% clear answer. (Perhaps there is none :-)

This last version of varnish-modules is built against varnish-5.0, and probably won't work with earlier versions. We could add a dependency fo varnish >= 5.0, but then, that may or may not add problems when/if varnish-5.1 or 6.0 is released. We could add a hard dependency on the exact varnish version, but that would require a recompile on minor releases, that may not be necessary.

Using the varnish-abi version string seems a fairly reasonable choice to avoid these kinds of problems. So if that is wrong, I'm very interested in why.

Yep, that's a good idea :-)

> I've never got a 100% clear answer. (Perhaps there is none :-)

I can share the dirty secrets of varnish ABI rules, but let's do that in a dedicated ticket against the varnish package when I have something ready to submit to you.

Incidentally, I think many things can be simplified in the current spec, and I'm not fond of pulling pkg-varnish-cache in. Upstream doesn't follow our packaging guidelines and has recently reduced RPM packaging down to varnish and varnish-devel (which I don't disagree with). That incidentally dropped the -docs package that our guidelines recommend.

I think Fedora packaging of Varnish should be independent of upstream's own packaging.

> This last version of varnish-modules is built against varnish-5.0

That's a good point, I was the one who fixed varnish-modules so that vmod-xkey and vmod-softpurge would build against 5.0. I'm still against the aforementioned requires. Please be patient until I have time to submit something ;-)
