Description bkyoung 2006-03-13 19:26:44 UTC 
Spec Name or Url: Attached as sparse.spec
SRPM Name or Url: Must build separately
Description: A C semantic parser.

While flailing and failing to resolve a kernel issue, I followed this "sparse" tangent and now have a sparse RPM for Fedora.

The Linux kernel build system directly supports sparse, and including it in Fedora Extras would be a convenience to anyone wishing to attempt to use it.

Because of compat-i386.c, the spec file may require:
ExclusiveArch:i386

The license is OSL V1.1, but exemptions included in the license imply executables linking to the library itself (sparse) are not considered "Original Work".

A kernel-2.6.spec.patch (for kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.2041) is attached to provide a convenient way to use sparse when rebuilding the kernel.

Attached are:
sparse.spec
sparse-0.1-Makefile.patch
kernel-2.6.spec.patch

To git (from git-core) tarball:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git
cd sparse
git-tar-tree HEAD sparse-0.1 | gzip > ../sparse-0.1.tar.gz

rpmlint output:
W: sparse invalid-license OSL
W: sparse-debuginfo invalid-license OSL
W: sparse-debuginfo objdump-failed 
W: sparse-devel invalid-license OSL

Comment 9 Hans de Goede 2006-05-19 16:37:23 UTC 
I think its great that you've created a spare package and waht to make this
available to others through FE. But first you really should learn some stuff
about FE procedures. I didn't find your bkyoung account in onwers.list, so I
assume that this is your first package.

To become an FE packager you must follow the following procedure:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors

As is Outlined in the "Create Your Review Request" step you should have added
the FE-NEEDSPONSOR blocker bug, since this is your first package.

Please read the above page, the packaging guidelines and the review procedure
wikipages thoroughly so that you can learn and understant the FE process /
procedures.

Also it is uncommon for package reviewers to have to put all the pieces like a
git checkout and all your attachments together themselves. Instead create a
.src.rpm file (rpmbuild -bs sparse.spec) upload that somewhere and put an URL in
the review request (iow here in BZ).
