Comment 1 Matthias Saou 2005-10-14 15:41:44 UTC
Why is everything installed under /usr/ircd?
The spec file really needs some cleaning up apart from that too (the very basic
buildrequires are unneeded, the way default config files are created, the docs...)

I'll attach the current spec file and related files I use for my own needs, in
case you want to merge parts with your spec.

I'm just beginning in packaging and i took the spec file in the contrib rep of
the source file and tried to adapt it a few.
I will look with attention your files but if you want to own the package there
is no problem as you seem to already did more work than me.
Thanks

Comment 6 Eric Tanguy 2005-10-15 11:05:51 UTC
So i updated the src.rpm and spec file with your suggestions because i think it
will be interesting to have this package in extras. But if someone else want to
own this package ...

Needs work.

Missing BuildRequires: zlib-devel

When it does build, it doesn't start properly:

You'll need to Provide: ircd %{version}-%{release} if you want to obsolete it.

For some reason none of the modules got stripped.

It seems that it is redundant with openssl-devel and it builds fine in mock
without it.

I nerver had this problem starting ircd as a service. Where do you get this error ?

Commented it because it's not really necessary

Solved changing the permissions of all the modules

Comment 11 John Mahowald 2005-11-01 01:50:47 UTC
I did rpmbuild directly on the SRPM, FC4.

Modules are now stripped.

OK, openssl-devel requires zlib-devel.

rpmlint still complains about non-standard uid and gid. Note that uid and gid
conflicts need to be avoided, see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserCreation  Currently there is no ideal
solution, though you can register ircd to avoid conflicts.

The start problem is because you define ircd's home to be %{_var}/lib/ircd,
which doesn't exist.

I'm not sure to well understand this problem. If in the spec file i replace 
%{_sbindir}/useradd -s /sbin/nologin -M -r -d %{_var}/lib/ircd \
    -c "IRC service account" ircd &>/dev/null || :
by
%{_sbindir}/fedora-useradd 10 -s /sbin/nologin -M -r -d %{_var}/lib/ircd \
    -c "IRC service account" ircd &>/dev/null || :
rpmlint still complains about non-standard uid and gid.
I don't understand what you mean abour register ircd.
Sorry for that but i'm a "new" packager and i still have to learn ...

If i remerber well the defined home in useradd is created by default if it does
not exist ?

It will do. Don't worry about it. It's entirely up to you if you want to use the
optional fedora-useradd mechanism, and I believe you register the UID to use by
editing the wiki page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry (UID 10
is already taken).

You've used the -M option in useradd, which means "The userâs home directory
will not be created, even if the system wide settings from              
/etc/login.defs is to create home dirs". You should create this directory in the
%install section of your spec and make sure that your package "owns" that
directory by including it in the %files list, with an appropriate %attr clause
to make the directory owned by user ircd and have the right permissions.

I will take UID 14 : %{_sbindir}/fedora-useradd 14 -s /sbin/nologin -M -r -d
%{_var}/lib/ircd \
    -c "IRC service account" ircd &>/dev/null || :
but i can't see how to edit the wiki page
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry maybe only some registered
users can ?

So if i put %{__mkdir_p} %{buildroot}%{_var}/lib/ircd in %install section
and %attr(770,root,ircd) %dir %{_var}/lib/ircd in %files section it will be ok ?

You need to be added to the EditGroup for the Wiki. Do you have a Wiki account,
and if so, what is it called?

That's the idea, though I'd be inclined to make the directory owned by the user
ircd as well as the group:

%attr(770,ircd,ircd) %dir %{_var}/lib/ircd

You should be able to do this now (I added your account on the EditGroup page)

Ok it's done and about the package ? :-)

Comment 19 John Mahowald 2005-11-04 05:11:09 UTC
Ignoring non standard uid/guid files only readable by ircd, and zero length
config files, rpmlint still says:

W: ircd-hybrid wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding
/usr/share/doc/ircd-hybrid-7.1.3/Tao-of-IRC.940110
W: ircd-hybrid log-files-without-logrotate /var/log/ircd
E: ircd-hybrid no-chkconfig-line /etc/rc.d/init.d/ircd
W: ircd-hybrid incoherent-init-script-name ircd

The important one is the chkconfig line. See the chkconfig man page for how to
add it.

I can't see anything wrong in this file

> W: ircd-hybrid log-files-without-logrotate /var/log/ircd

Is it very important ?

I can't understand this warning

Comment 21 John Mahowald 2005-11-07 17:52:57 UTC
Wrong file end of line means it has the wrong line characters at the end. Not a
big deal, if you wanted to fix it run dos2unix on it (which would have to be a
BuildRequires)

logrotate is nice, but not mandatory.

incoherent init script means it wasn't expecting it to be called ircd. Not a
blocker either.


rpmlint also complains about non readable files chmodded 640, these are however
readable by ircd which is what we want.

rpmlint also says:
W: ircd-hybrid service-default-enabled /etc/rc.d/init.d/ircd

We don't want ircd starting by default, users have to enable that. So put a - in
the chkconfig line so it doesn't.

On a more serious problem, after installing, building, and starting on FC4, ircd
seems to just quit. No ircd processes remain, and "telnet localhost 6667" is
refused.

It was an access problem ot /etc/ircd by ircd : solved
Now it runs fine if the ircd.conf is ok

Comment 23 John Mahowald 2005-11-09 03:50:30 UTC
Forgot to edit the "read the config file option". Oops.

- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license (GPL) OK, text in %doc, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream
- package compiles on FC4 i386
- runs, can connect
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all directories that it creates
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok (rpmlint complains non-readable, but ircd can read them)
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file 

Why have an empty /var/lib/ircd be ircd's home, when /usr/lib/ircd already
exists in this package? I would change this, but your choice.

Looks good. APPROVED
