Comment 1 Mosaab Alzoubi 2021-02-15 02:59:49 UTC
This review just unretirement review. To pass FTBFS state.

Comment 2 Raphael Groner 2021-03-04 18:59:12 UTC
Some hints to your spec file:

o description line is too long, have to break down into multiple line
o add BuildRequires: gcc
o may additionally to BR add also Requires: procps-ng - is that a weak dependency, why Fedora only?
o please consider to generate documentation and ship in a doc subpackage 
o execute provided tests in %check
o use systemd macros in %post and %postun https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/#_systemd

Are you interested in a review swap?

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-03-17 10:10:50 UTC
 - This is not necessary anymore:

%post
/sbin/ldconfig

%postun
/sbin/ldconfig


Use %ldconfig_scriptlets for EPEL.

 - This should not go in %doc:

%doc COPYING

 - Add a BR for make as it is not in the default buildroot anymore

> o please consider to generate documentation and ship in a doc subpackage

It doesn't seem to be needed to build the docs, the Makefile only copy the file in a directory, which can be done with %doc

 - make %{?_smp_mflags} → %make build

> o use systemd macros in %post and %postun

What Systemd files, I don't see any.

 - %{_includedir}/* → %{_includedir}/snoopy/

 - The packaging of the so is wrong.

First, the unversioned library should go into the devel subpackage:

%files devel
%{_includedir}/snoopy/
%{_libdir}/libsnoopy.so

 Second the major soname version should not be globed to avoid unintentional soname bump:
 
%files
%doc README.md ChangeLog doc/{FAQ.md,FILTER_exclude_spawns_of.md}
%license COPYING
%{_libdir}/libsnoopy.so.0*

The script file snoopy-enable should be modified to load libsnoopy.so.0 instead of libsnoopy.so.


 - Please mark the %{_sysconfdir}/snoopy.ini as config:

%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/snoopy.ini

 - Add gcc as a BR

BuildRequires:  gcc

 - Patch the m4 file to remove the obsolete macros, and send the patch upstream:

[!]: Package should not use obsolete m4 macros
     Note: Some obsoleted macros found, see the attachment.
     See: https://fedorahosted.org/FedoraReview/wiki/AutoTools

AutoTools: Obsoleted m4s found
------------------------------
  AC_PROG_LIBTOOL found in: snoopy-2.4.12/configure.ac:73

See https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/LT_005fINIT.html , AC_PROG_LIBTOOL must be replaced with LT_INIT

 - Split the description to stay below 80 characters per line:

snoopy.x86_64: E: description-line-too-long C Snoopy is designed to aid a sysadmin by providing a log of commands executed. Snoopy is completely transparent to the user and applications. It is linked into programs to provide a wrapper around calls to execve(). Logging is done via syslog.

 - Patch these files to use the new FSF address instead of the obsolete one, and send the patch upstream:

snoopy-devel.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/include/snoopy/configuration.h

I made a few updates for the snoopy rpm spec file.
Git PR for the spec file:

Latest spec also here:
