Comment 1 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2017-06-25 16:25:52 UTC 
Ha, I was just finishing packaging this. If you're interested, you can take a look at my package here: https://svgames.pl/fedora/whichwayisup-0.7.9-1.src.rpm

Anyway, regarding your package:
- There's no appdata.xml file (you can borrow it from my package)
- There are Thumbs.db files present in the built package
- fedora-review complains about using both $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and %{buildroot} in the spec file
Comment 2 Björn 'besser82' Esser 2017-06-25 18:03:24 UTC 
Some other hints on the spec-file:

> URL:            http://www.oletus.fi/static/whichwayisup/
> Source0:        http://www.oletus.fi/static/whichwayisup/%{name}_b%{pkgversion}.zip

URL should NOT end with a trailing slash '/') and you can shorten and simplify those really good using:

URL:            http://www.oletus.fi/static/${name}
Source0:        %{url}/%{name}_b%{pkgversion}.zip


> %setup -qn %{name}
> %patch0 -p1

Using the `autosetup`-macro is preferred (and support since el5) for new packages.  It supports automatic patching and all:

%autosetup -p 1


> install -d %{buildroot}%{_bindir}
> install -m 755 -p %{SOURCE1} %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/%{name}

This applies to most of the code using `install`.  You can do all of this in one line and mode SHOULD be set in four-digit octal (e.g. 0755 / 0644):

install -Dpm 0755 %{SOURCE1} %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/%{name}


> %{_mandir}/man6/*

Should be:  %{_mandir}/man6/%{name}.6*


I'm not too happy with the wrapper script…  You shouldn't install that from a static file as is…  Instead you should auto-generate that from inside the spec-file (don't forget to have BR: python2-devel):

%{__cat} << EOF > %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/%{name}
#!/bin/sh
set -e

pushd %{_datadir}/%{name}
%{__python2} -s run_game.py "$@"
popd
EOF


At last I'd recommend using rpm-defined macros instead of plain command invocation (my personal preference, left open to you):

* %{__sed} instead of `sed`
* %{__install} instead of `install`
* %{__cp} instead of `cp`
* %{__mkdir_p} instead of `mkdir -p`
* %{__rm} instead of `rm`
* %{__ln_s} instead of `ln -s`

Björn, regarding macros for system executables, the packaging guidelines actually say to avoid them:
> Macro forms of system executables SHOULD NOT be used except when there is a need to allow the location of those executables to be configurable. For example, rm should be used in preference to %{__rm}, but %{__python} is acceptable.

I had a look at your spec file. It has some interesting things. I'll try to merge them in the coming days. Thank you.

Actually the reverse is true. URL should end with a trailing slash, otherwise you'll get HTTP status 301.

I think this is less legible.

Right now there is just one patch. It was not the case when I started to write the spec file. 

Using autosetup all the patches need to have the same strip level. Therefore, at the time, I couldn't use this macro.

I guess this is just a matter of taste. 

Moreover, 3 digits are fine to specify the file/directory permissions. From the install man page:

       -m, --mode=MODE
              set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x

And from the chmod man page:

       A numeric mode is from one to  four  octal  digits  (0-7),  derived  by
       adding up the bits with values 4, 2, and 1.  Omitted digits are assumed
       to be leading zeros.

Moreover the guidelines just state that "Permissions on files MUST be set properly [...]":
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_Permissions

> > %{_mandir}/man6/*
> 
> Should be:  %{_mandir}/man6/%{name}.6*

Why? There is only one file in that directory and it found correctly:

$ rpm -ql whichwayisup | grep man
/usr/share/man/man6/whichwayisup.6.gz

Moreover, the guidelines just state that "When installing man pages, note that they should be installed uncompressed as the build system will compress them as needed. The compression method may change, so it is important to reference the pages in the %files section with a pattern that takes this into account"
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Manpages

I think that having the wrapper file (and desktop file, and appdata file, etc) as a different file improves readability a lot. Moreover, version control is more efficient using different files.

This is actually deprecated. 

Macro forms of system executables SHOULD NOT be used except when there is a need to allow the location of those executables to be configurable. For example, rm should be used in preference to %{__rm}, but %{__python} is acceptable.

This is due to dropbox. Unluckily right now I have no other way to share spec and SRPM files.

Every Fedora contributor has access to fedorapeople space. You can use this as a distribution space for packages being reviewed: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/fedorapeople.org
Comment 7 Andrea Musuruane 2017-06-26 19:30:43 UTC 
Thanks Neal, I totally forgot about fedorapeople.org :-/

Comment 8 rugk 2017-07-03 21:03:01 UTC 
"Removed Thumbs.db file (Windows Explorer thumbnail database)"

Hah, you were caught (red-handed) developing/working on Windows… ;)

In any case once this package is in bodhi or such a test instance, I would happily test it…

SRPM URL: https://musuruan.fedorapeople.org/whichwayisup-0.7.9-3.fc25.src.rpm

Changelog:
- Added missing BR
Comment 10 Wart 2017-08-22 02:11:56 UTC 
Looks like all of the issues have been resolved in the above comments.

I feel that the two rpmlint warnings are safe to ignore:

* spelling error is intentional based on upstream's web page
* dangling symlink to font is unavoidable due to fedora's packaging guidelines

Comment 19 rugk 2017-09-07 23:09:38 UTC 
Can we somehow get it into GNOME software? AFAIK just somemetadata is needed for this.
Comment 20 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2017-09-08 05:38:14 UTC 
Said metadata is present in the package - it's the .appdata.xml file. It's just that Fedora doesn't immediately rebuilt the catalog for GNOME Software - it's done periodically, every week or two weeks (IIRC). Just wait a few days.
Comment 21 rugk 2017-09-08 22:35:43 UTC 
Great! Thanks for all your work!
Comment 22 rugk 2017-09-20 07:25:54 UTC 
Yet another thing: Why is it marked as "proprietary" in the software center? I think all source code is freely available.

Also the German translation in the app description is missing. Can I help somewhere to translate it?
Comment 23 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2017-09-20 08:45:58 UTC 
I'm not entirely sure, but I think the GNOME Software Center simply looks at the License: tag in the RPM and makes a free/proprietary distinction based on that.

I checked the tag in the package source and the value is set properly, so this seems to me like a bug in the SC.
