Description vladimir 2021-05-07 12:06:44 UTC
Spec URL: http://startserv.sh/rpmbuild/SPECS/clipnotify.spec
SRPM URL: http://startserv.sh/rpmbuild/SRPMS/clipnotify-1.0.2-1.fc34.src.rpm
Description: clipnotify is a simple program that, using the XFIXES extension to X11, waits until a new selection is available and then exits. It was primarily designed for clipmenu, to avoid polling for new selections.
Fedora Account System Username: v.a.kim

Hi! Recently i switched to Fedora distro and found, that the program is missing in repo. It's in rdeps of clipmenu, which i will submit after that ticket. It's my first package. My experience with RPM powered distros is very low, as well with SystemD, didn't find the way to make .spec better. But it works on Fedora 34 with 'systemctl --user start clipmenu'.

This package is needed as dependency for clipmenu: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1958193

Koji builds are here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=67417070

 - The description should be wrapped to stay below 80 characters per line:

%description
clipnotify is a simple program that, using the XFIXES extension to X11, waits
until a new selection is available and then exits.

 - make %{?_smp_mflags} -> %make_build

 - This is not ok:

%global debug_package %{nil}

You should find out why a debug package is not generated. Here you should set %set_build_flags to use Fedora default build flags:

%build
%set_build_flags
%make_build

 - The changelog entry must contain your name, email and version-release number:

%changelog
* Thu May 06 2021 kvlad <v.a.kim1988> - 1.0.2-1
- First clipnotify package

 - Use a more explicit name for your archive:

Source0:        https://github.com/cdown/%{name}/archive/%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

Hi! Thank you! Almost done, but the error has occured with:
%build
#%set_build_flags
%make_build


make -O -j4 hangs, while building the package.
make -O -j1 works fine, when run it manual. What is the correct way to do it in spec-file?

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-06-25 14:52:20 UTC
Use make -O -j1 but add a comment explaining parallel build aren't working.

I can't access https://startserv.sh/rpmbuild/SPECS/clipnotify.spec anymore. Pleqse send the updqted spec file somewhere I can review it.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2021-06-26 20:20:59 UTC
No need to needinfo the entire package-review list here. :) clearing...

Hi! All done.
No need to use make -O -j1, it's just start working after few system  updates.
New spec file is available.
Thank you!

Comment 6 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-06-30 16:46:07 UTC
 - The release nu;ber is missing in the changelog entry:

* Thu Jun 17 2021 kvlad <v.a.kim1988> - 1.0.2-1

Package is approved. Please fix the aforementioned issue before import,

You still need to find a sponsor: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
