Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2006-12-01 14:35:33 UTC
Well, first review for this:

A. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines :
* Licensing
- Well, /usr/lib/pkgconfig/idioskopos-1.0.pc reads:
------------------------------------------------------
##   This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify  ##
##   it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as               ##
##   published by the Free Software Foundation version 2.1                 ##
------------------------------------------------------
  So this package is licensed under GPL, not LGPL because
  GPL is more strict than LGPL...

* BuildRequires:
  - Is m4 required? Mockbuild succeeds without m4 and rpmdiff
    shows no difference.

* Timestamps
  - Well, -devel package contains a lot of header files so
  keeping timestamps is highly preferable as
  * it shows if vendor (like you) have modified the original
    files
  * it shows when the files are created

  So keep timestamps, at least for header files.
  Usually,
--------------------------------------------------------
make INSTALL="install -p" install
--------------------------------------------------------
  plays the trick.

B. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines
   (okay.)

C. Other things I have noticed:
* Spec file description
----------------------------------------------------------
%install
........
%{__cp} -ar docs/reference .
........
%doc ChangeLog reference
----------------------------------------------------------
   This should be okay with
---------------------------------------------------------
%install
........
.......
%doc ChangeLog docs/reference
---------------------------------------------------------

Comment 4 Rick L Vinyard Jr 2006-12-01 16:34:44 UTC
> A. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines :

Got that fixed. I copied the .pc.in from another project (that I have under the
GPL), and missed changing that one.

> * BuildRequires:
>   - Is m4 required?

Yes. My configure script needs m4 (it's used to autobuild the Fedora and SuSE
.spec files from spec.m4), and m4 isn't on the exceptions list:
     http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/FullExceptionList

> * Timestamps

I hadn't even noticed that. I agree, preserving the timestamps is nice!

Changed:
%{__make} DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install

To:
%{__make} DESTDIR=%{buildroot} INSTALL="%{__install} -p" install

> C. Other things I have noticed:

Yes, that is much better.

Thanks for all your help.

A new spec and release are at:

This is true for people who have to create spec file from
spec.m4, however, srpm should include spec file (not spec.m4)
and there is no need to create spec file again from spec.m4.
So m4 should not needed for this reason.

By the way I cannot rebuild 0.3.2-1 by mockbuild under
FC-devel i386. Please check the build log attached.

But, the specs are built by autoconf when configure is run. I know it's not the
best, but I just haven't had time to modify configure.in to take an option of
whether to build the specs or not. Right now, they're always built when
configure is run.

Looks like it was an overload issue with size_t and unsigned int on i386. It's
fixed in the 0.3.3 release.

It seems not.

Actually I successfully rebuild this packge without m4

Anyway, if running configure requires autoconf, it is
not correct and should be fixed if so.

Sorry about that. I meant to say, the specs are built by m4 when configure is run.

This is the section in configure that requires m4:
#########################################################################
#  build spec.in files
#########################################################################
for distro in "fedora-5 FEDORA 5" "fedora-6 FEDORA 6"; do
  original_params=("$@")
  set -- $distro
  mkdir ${1}
  m4 -D DISTRO=${2} \
     -D DISTRO_LIB_GROUP="${2}_${3}_LIB_GROUP" \
     -D DISTRO_BUILD_REQUIRES="${2}_${3}_BUILD_REQUIRES" \
     -D DISTRO_DEVEL_GROUP="${2}_${3}_DEVEL_GROUP" \
     -D DISTRO_DEVEL_REQUIRES="${2}_${3}_DEVEL_REQUIRES" \
     spec.m4 >${1}/${PACKAGE_NAME}.spec.in
  set -- $original_params
done

And then, later on in configure.in I have the spec.in that was built above in
AC_OUTPUT().

> ./configure: line 22376: suse-10.1/idioskopos.spec.in: No such file or directory

I thought I removed the suse-10.1 directories for the 0.3.3 release, but I must
have done it after I pushed the release. That's the m4 command failing because
the 0.3.3 release didn't have the 'mkdir ${1}'.

> by mockbuild.

Now that I think about it, the m4 command will probably silently fail without m4
installed. I don't have a problem removing the m4 build-requires. I just want to
make sure it's right.



Comment 9 Mamoru TASAKA 2006-12-05 05:35:34 UTC
Well, for m4 issue, I will leave it as you say.

I will check if there is any rest issue in this package later
(mockbuild of 0.3.3-1 is okay)

Comment 10 Mamoru TASAKA 2006-12-05 14:16:28 UTC
Okay.

-------------------------------------------
  This package (idioskopos) is APPROVED by me.
