Hello,
my name is Alexander Naumov. I'm a pam-python maintainer for openSUSE/SUSE system, and I would like to (start) contribute to Fedoara/RedHat. This is my first experience with the Fedora build system.

This is my first package, and I'm seeking a sponsor.

Cheers,

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-10-23 13:44:31 UTC
Hi and welcome to Fedora.

First problem:

 - Python 2 is deprecated in Fedora 30, would it be possible to build it with Python 3 instead? Otherwise this package won't be accepted as is. We don't accept anything Python 2 related anymore.


Your SPEC is rot really in line with the Guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/

I will go over the issues:

 - Group is not used in Fedora, neither is Buildroot: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_tags_and_sections

 - Please add a comment for each patch explaining why they are needed:

Patch0:         not_null_argument_for_strcmp.patch
Patch1:         werror.patch

 - AGPL-3.0 is not a valid shorthand. See the list here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#SoftwareLicenses

License:        AGPLv3

 - Release is missing its dist tag:

Release:        1%{?dist}

 - %setup -q -n %{name}-%{version}
 
%patch0 -p1
%patch1 -p1

You could use %autosetup -p1

 - make -C src → %make_build

Although, reading the Makefile, I wonder if it would not be better to do

pushd src/
%py2_build
popd

That way it would respect Fedora build flags.

 - The install location is wrong, it should use %{_libdir}:

mkdir -p %{buildroot}/%{_libdir}/security

   And:

%{_libdir}/security/pam_python.so

 - make -C src install LIBDIR=%{buildroot}/%{_lib}/security → %make_install -C src LIBDIR=%{_libdir}/security

 - Not needed: %defattr(-,root,root)

 - The license must be installed with %license, not %doc

%license agpl-3.0.txt

 - Add the examples in %doc

%doc examples

 - Build the doc/ with Sphinx and add them to %doc

%doc doc/html

 - Add your %changelog entry

%changelog
* Tue Oct 23 2018 Alexander Naumov <posix.ru> - 1.0.6-1
- Initial release

 - Source0 is 404. It should be:

Source:         https://sourceforge.net/projects/%{name}/files/%{name}-%{version}-1/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-10-23 13:49:03 UTC
 - Also you're missing: 

BuildRequires:  gcc

Comment 3 Alexander Naumov 2018-10-26 21:54:09 UTC
Hi Robert,
thanks a lot for your review.
Unfortunately, it seems that at the moment it can't work without python2. Migration to python3 is "in progress", but it's not done right now.
https://sourceforge.net/p/pam-python/tickets/5/#f4bb

If it can't be accepted with python2 dependency, we should wait...

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Alex
