> %global __requires_exclude ^perl
The perl dependencies are actually used in /usr/bin/deepin-desktop-ts-convert. Without the tool some .desktop files in the related packages won't be generated. For example, /usr/share/applications/deepin-toggle-desktop.desktop won't be generated and the functionality will be missing from deepin-session-ui.

> # fix python version
Note that since version 1.0.6 Python 3.x is supported and the hack is no longer needed. The dependencies can be adjusted as wel.

Others looks good at the moment.

Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2017-07-13 04:07:04 UTC
When linking to the spec file and srpm, link directly to the raw version (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FZUG/repo/master/rpms/deepin_project/deepin-gettext-tools.spec). Otherwise fedora-review gets confused.

Why do you prefix your macros with "_"? Sometimes macros provided by rpm are prefixed with "__" to avoid conflicts with user-defined macros. That's even more reason not to prefix your macros like that.

I'm assuming that this is an effort to get the whole package set into Fedora, not EPEL. If you are planning to use the same spec file also for EPEL, some things will be more complicated. My comments below assume that this is for Fedora only.

> %{!?python2_sitelib: %global python2_sitelib %(%{__python2} -c "from distutils.sysconfig 

This shouldn't be necessary, %python2_sitelib is always defined when the python2-devel is present.

>  - Package contains BR: python2-devel or python3-devel
@Felix: it's better to link to the relevant guidelines more often than not. In this case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Dependencies.

> BuildRequires: python-devel
... this should be either python2-devel or python3-devel.

Felix writes that Python3 is now supported. The guidelines say that Python3 is preferred, so the package should be switched to it if possible.

> Requires: python
Normally that's not needed, because the dependency is generated automatically.

%description is too sparse. What does this package do? For "low level" packages it's OK to just write on or two terse sentences, but just repeating %summary is not enough, unless it's obvious (and in this case it's not obvious).

OK, so Requires are not generated properly, because the shebang lines use #!/usr/bin/env. They should be changed to use #!/usr/bin/perl, #!%{__python2} or #!%{__python3}. Then rpm will generate proper Requires automatically.

--

So... please update to the latest version, switch over to python3 if possible, expand %description, fix shebang lines, and let rpm generate Requires automatically.

Hi Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek

thank you for your package review. It's very useful for me.
About "_", i will delete them for a while.
Some other problems, i have fixed and submitted it to github. It looks okey. 

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FZUG/repo/master/rpms/deepin_project/deepin-gettext-tools.spec

Comment 4 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2017-07-18 23:15:15 UTC
So now the requires are:
/usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/python3
gettext
perl(Config::Tiny)
perl(Exporter::Tiny)
perl(XML::LibXML)
perl(XML::LibXML::PrettyPrint)
qt5-linguist
Looks good.

> /bin/perl desktop_ts/src/desktop_ts_convert.pl --help
> /bin/python3 src/generate_mo.py --help
> /bin/python3 src/update_pot.py --help

No need to use the full path. We assume that the tools like perl and python3 are in $PATH.

That's OK. It's nice to have man pages, but it's certainly not required.

2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 10 warnings.

+ package name is OK
+ latest version
+ license is acceptable for Fedora (GPLv3)
+ license is specified correctly
+ builds and installs OOK

+ no scriptlets are needed
+ %check is present and passes.

Package is APPROVED.

Comment 5 sensor.wen 2017-07-21 09:07:30 UTC
I think full path is important. The $PATH environment variable is easy to change. It's not safe. For example:

$ vi test.spec
....
%post
python3 -c 'print("Hello")'
...

$ vi /usr/local/bin/python3
#!/bin/bash
echo "bad things."
/bin/python3 $@

# rpm -ivh -D"_install_script_path /usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" test-0.1-1.fc25.x86_64.rpm
 1:test-0.1-1.fc25                  ################################# [100%]
bad things.
Hello

Comment 6 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2017-07-21 09:52:33 UTC
Using full paths for some specific executables is neither necessary nor sufficient. Why not sufficient? You are calling many different programs, either directly from the spec file (find, sed, install, perl, python3) or *indirectly* (e.g. %setup macro uses tar, gzip, patch). In this particular spec file there's no build, but normally when a Makefile is used, it contains references to tens of other programs (gcc, ld, ar, strip, …). So for this to be useful in any way, you'd have to make sure that *each and every one* of those programs is prefixed by path, which is of course impossible for programs called from build scripts or as helpers by macros or other programs. Instead, $PATH is set to some proper value. If somebody managed to insert rogue programs into any of the locations in $PATH, the game is over. And once $PATH is set properly, there is really no reason to use a full path to any executable in it.

The reason that people use stuff like %__sed is because rpm used to provide it for some strange reason, and a cargo cult emerged. It makes no sense.

(There is an exception though: %__python3 *can* be useful for example on EPEL where there is more than one python3 available, and you want to pick one of them. So sometimes %__python3 will evaluate to /usr/bin/python34 and other times to /usr/bin/python35 or whatever. But that is a different case, because we're looking for a different executable name, not ignoring $PATH. On Fedora there's just one python3, so either "python3" or "%__python3" can be used.)

Comment 7 sensor.wen 2017-07-21 14:30:37 UTC
By default, we think the compilation environment is safe, it does not need to use the prefix. ('%check' does not need prefix, you are right.)

However, the %pre %post %postun is the script that runs when the client is installed, and the client is ”not safe“, so we need the GPG key and need to ensure that the %post script is executed correctly. In the client, we need absolute path.

Comment 8 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2017-07-21 14:42:47 UTC
The GPG key is for the user to know that they can trust the package origin, not for the rpm package to trust anything.

%pre %post %postun are run with a fixed path (see "rpmbuild --eval %_install_script_path"), and they don't need to use full paths for executables in that path. (I know it's traditional to e.g. use /sbin/ldconfig and such, but there's no consistency, and use just the binary name would work just as well.)
