Note: This is a preliminary (unofficial) review!

Hello,

I'm not a packager, but like to help out. Please remember that this is a preliminary (unofficial) review.


"Rpmlint (installed packages)" failed, so I manually installed it and ran rpmlint:
     python3-stopit.noarch: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US callables -> callable, callable s, calculable
     python3-stopit.noarch: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US xBSD -> BSD, x BSD
     1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.


Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated


===== ISSUES =====
- License
  The license on the sources is changed from GPLv3 to MIT, but the setup.py still contains GPLv3. 
  Because of this, the license in PKG-INFO is still GPLv3. See: https://github.com/glenfant/stopit/pull/23
  I'm not sure if the package license should be changed, but an official reviewer will probably reply on this.

- Description 
  The last paragraph (see below) is unnecessary, and can be removed.
     
     Developed and tested with CPython 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 on MacOSX. Should work
     on any OS (xBSD, Linux, Windows) except when explicitly mentioned.}

  A small nitpick, a list seems a bit out of place in a package description, you could maybe change it to the PyPi description?

     Raise asynchronous exceptions in other threads, control the timeout of blocks or
     callables with two context managers and two decorators.
  
- In the %prep section is find command, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is this necessary or am I missing something?

     find . -type f -name "*.py" -exec sed -i '/^#![  ]*\/usr\/bin\/env.*$/ d' {} 2>/dev/null ';'

Hey Arthur!

Thanks for the review and your suggestions are really helpful.

* I have fixed the license in setup.py using sed. Hopefully, upstream would patch the issue soon.
* rpmlint only reports spelling errors. I think it should be fine.
* Added the paragraph to the description. Since the description can span multiple lines and can be broken into paragraphs, I think the list should be fine.
* The find command is from a generic spec file that I keep. It basically removes the unnecessary shebangs from files. Although it might not be required here, I usually prefer it to remain in the spec so that no such shebangs come in place in case of an update.

Thanks for the preliminary review. Please do let me know if any other information is required. Also, in case you are interested in packaging, do check out our channel #fedora-neuro or https://neuro.fedoraproject.org/ as we could definitely use your help :D

Note: This is a preliminary (unofficial) review!

Thank you for the update!

The description looks better now. The list seems a bit redundant now, but changing the '>' to '*' also looks better, so It's fine for me.

I think the package can be approved.


I'd love to help out, I'll stop by. :)

Thanks for the preliminary review and helpful feedback, Arthur! I’m claiming the review and will go through the details within the next day or so (hopefully sooner).

The handling of the license situation looks good; the PR was the right thing to do, and both the LICENSE file and README.rst say MIT which supports GPLv3 in setup.py being a copy-paste error.

I know Ben Beasley is going to do a review, but I was working an (another) preliminary unofficial review, and found nearly the same issues, but with some different tool results than Arhur.


Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed

===== ISSUES =====

- rpmlint is reporting an error:
    python3-stopit.noarch: E: summary-too-long C Timeout control decorator and context managers, raise any exception in another thread

- The issue with the license is slightly more than a copy-paste error, as it is related to a license change.

- Upstream was working on the license change in 2017/2018 and did not finish it, yet.

- Upstream code has not been tested with Python 3.7+, and as Python 3.10 is bringing more changes.

- Upstream code seems abandoned, is the packager willing to assume/fork the original source code and maintain it in the future?

Thanks, Arthur, for the high-quality preliminary review.

I have noted a couple of remaining small issues below.


Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated


===== Issues =====

- The Summary line is too long; there is an 80 character limit for summary and
  description lines.

    python3-stopit.noarch: E: summary-too-long C Timeout control decorator and context managers, raise any exception in another thread

  I suggest adjusting it to:

    Summary:        Timeout control decorator and context managers

  or

    Summary:        Timeout control, raise any exception in another thread

- Unless you are packaging for EPEL8, %py_provides is no longer required for
  “conventionally-named” Python packages. See
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_the_py_provides_macro.
  Note that Fedora 32, which required it, is end-of-life.

  If you are packaging for EPEL8, I would suggest wrapping the macro in a
  conditional to make clear it is not needed on Fedora, something like:

    %if 0%{?epel} == 8
    %py_provides python3-%{pypi_name}
    %endif

  Otherwise, please just remove it.

- Based on the age of the last commit, and on the lack of responses to
  https://github.com/glenfant/stopit/pull/23, I suspect that this package no
  longer has an active upstream. You may still package it; just be aware that
  you are unlikely to have upstream support if issues arise.

===== Notes (no change required) =====

- The description, with the bulleted list, looks great to me.

- Leaving in the shebang removal command is a reasonable packager preference.
  (I would tend not to include it where it is not needed, but you are not wrong
  to do so as a bit of personal boilerplate.) It was also reasonable, of
  course, to point out that it is not required here.

- Please consider trying the pyproject-rpm-macros
  (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pyproject-rpm-macros) for future new
  packages. While using them is not mandatory, they are very helpful for all
  but a few exceptionally quirky Python packages—especially the generated BR’s
  and automatic file listing. If you’re interested in these, feel free to
  contact me for advice or for help converting a spec file in which you want to
  try them.

     MIT license is supported by the LICENSE file, README.md,

     statement of intent in
     https://github.com/glenfant/stopit/pull/15#issuecomment-364298245. It
     seems sufficiently clear that the 'GPLv3' in setup.py was an oversight in
     the upstream relicensing, so I agree with the “MIT” license field and with
     patching the 'license' in setup.py.

Thanks, Rafael. It looks like we found about the same things. (Personally, I think multiple reviews on a package is great!)

This matches my first noted issue. I suggested some alternatives.

After taking the time to properly review the package and upstream repository, I agree. This is a relic of the old license rather than a copy-paste error. I am, however, convinced by the upstream owner/maintainer’s comment https://github.com/glenfant/stopit/pull/15#issuecomment-364298245 that MIT is indeed the intended license. I think that, considering this, it makes sense to patch the metadata.

> - Upstream code has not been tested with Python 3.7+, and as Python 3.10 is bringing more changes.

This is true. However, I reviewed the package on Fedora 34, using the usual Rawhide mock chroot, which means the test suite at least passed on Python 3.10.

> - Upstream code seems abandoned, is the packager willing to assume/fork the original source code and maintain it in the future?

Also noted. This is a pretty simple package, but maintaining an abandonded packager is always an additional burden. (On the other hand, it’s unfortunately common for abandoned dependencies to linger, even in wide use, in the Python ecosystem, and sometimes the reasonable choice is to keep packaging them.)

> maintaining an abandonded packager is always an additional burden.

I meant to say an abandoned package, of course. Maintaining an abandoned packager is beyond my expertise!

Thanks a lot Ben, Rafael and Arthur for the reviews. :D

I have fixed the issues in the spec as pointed out by Ben. I would try to use the py_project macros for the next Python project I would package. Thanks for the recommendation.

I have re-reviewed the package by examining the diff in the spec file:

All of the issues I found are addressed; the package is therefore approved.
