Description: 
This package contains common tools required by Xfce developers and people
that want to build Xfce from SVN. In addition, this package contains the
Xfce developer's handbook.

Note:
This package is needed to build some plugins for the upcoming XFCE 4.4 Release. XFCE 4.4  is not available atm in Fedora Extras, so you will need the packages from
http://www.scrye.com/xfce-4.4b1/
For more Information on these packages see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-June/msg00974.html

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2006-10-03 01:35:59 UTC
I'll go ahead and review this, so we can hopefully get Xfce 4.4rc1 in later 
this week. ;) 

Look for a full review in a few here.

See below - Package owns all the directories it creates.
OK - Package has no duplicate files in %files.
OK - Package has %defattr and permissions on files is good.
OK - Package has a correct %clean section.
OK - Spec has consistant macro usage.
OK - Package is code or permissible content.
OK - Packages %doc files don't affect runtime.
OK - Package doesn't own any directories other packages own.
See below - No rpmlint output.

SHOULD Items:

OK - Should include License or ask upstream to include it.
OK - Should build in mock.
Issues:

1. rpmlint says:

E: xfce4-dev-tools explicit-lib-dependency libtool

This can be ignored I think. rpmlint is just looking for anything starting
with lib...

However, there might be some more Requires.
I see it checking for the following at runtime:

## Check for a suitable make
## Check for autoconf, first trying autoconf-2.59, then autoconf-2.58, then
## Check for intltoolize
## Check for libtoolize
## Check for glib-gettextize
## Check for gtkdocize
## Check for aclocal, first trying aclocal-1.9, then aclocal-1.8, and finally
## Check for autoheader, first trying autoheader-2.59, then autoheader-2.58,
## Check for automake, first trying automake-1.9, then automake-1.8, and finally

2. Should require the Xfce package that owns datadir/xfce4...
Should perhaps be xfwm4? (which I need to fix to own that dir).


Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2006-10-03 08:46:20 UTC
It seems to me that the m4 macros should also be in 
/usr/share/aclocal
such that it is possible to simply use autoreconf and the 
like.

In my opinion this package shouldn't depend on any other
xfce package, such that it may be used to bootstrap them
from svn. So I think that the directory datadir/xfce4
should also be owned by xfce4-dev-tools (unless there is
another package that provides the xfce filesystem).

will do.

added make

libtool already requires autoconf >= 2.50 and Core 5 comes with autoconf-2.59

provided by intltool

provided by libtool

In this case I agree with Patrice, so I made the new package own
%dir %{_datadir}/xfce4

I think most macros should already be in there now, but when I run xdt-autogen I
still see:

 Please add the files
   codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
   progtest.m4
 from the /usr/share/aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
 or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.

Any idea where to get the missing files from? glib21.m4 looks like a
version/naming problem to me. The current glib2-devel-2.10.3 on Core 5 only
provides glib-2.0.m4.

It is not what I meant. I said that it would be nice to have the
xfce4-dev-tools m4 macros also in /usr/share/aclocal, that is 
have xdt-depends.m4 xdt-features.m4... also in /usr/share/aclocal.

It is not a naming problem, and all those autoconf macros are
from gettext-devel.

Ah, I see. Done.

Thanks for the pointer. I have updated the package to require gettext-devel.

Comment 7 Patrice Dumas 2006-10-03 22:45:08 UTC
* It seems to be wrong, in description:

"In addition, this package contains the Xfce developer's handbook."

Some comments (not blockers)
* you could add -p to the install invocation to keep timestamps
  of autoconf macros.

* You could add a trailing / in %files to
%{_datadir}/xfce4/dev-tools/
  to show that it is a directory.

Otherwise the package seems fine to me.

I think this shoud change in the final 4.4 version, but I'll remove it till then.

Will do

yeah, usually I do, thanks
 
> Otherwise the package seems fine to me.

If there are no objections for Kevin to approve the package I'll import release
3 tomorrow and fix the issues you mentioned directly after import into CVS.
Thanks for you help and feedback.

Comment 9 Kevin Fenzi 2006-10-03 23:44:24 UTC
All the changes look good to me, and I don't see any further blockers, 
so this package is APPROVED. 

Don't forget to close this bug NEXTRELEASE once it's been imported and built. 

Comment 10 Kevin Fenzi 2006-10-08 04:33:36 UTC
This package appears to have been imported and built, but I don't see it in 
owners.list yet. ;) 

Can you add it there and close this NEXTRELEASE?

It wasn't in comps.xml ether. ;( Thanks for the reminder, both fixed now.
