Description Balint Cristian 2007-02-07 11:10:22 UTC
Spec URL: http://openrisc.rdsor.ro/grass.spec
SRPM URL: http://openrisc.rdsor.ro/grass-6.2.1-1.src.rpm
Description: GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and
analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial
modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and
commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental
agencies and environmental consulting companies.

Comment 1 Balint Cristian 2007-02-07 11:17:03 UTC
rpmlint warnings:
W: grass non-standard-dir-in-usr grass-6.2.1
W: grass-devel no-dependency-on grass

first: is normal behaviour, since grass has a separate eviroment folder
where plugins and scripts are kept.

second: we can have only grass-lib,grass-devel e.g if we dont want 
the grass enviroment only some other tools on top of grass-lib like
e.g mapserver.


bz#222042 and bz#222039 block this to include.
We need olso gdal to be included.
If there will be no update on geotiff licence issue i can help
disbale it and include a geotiff-less gdal in fedora.
Already workaround to disable geotiff from gdal, but i wait
for officials.

I am looking forward for a review, the package required some hacks since
grass is bit unusual unix software, lets see how can improve those 
workarounds in the .spec, but i guess unless we got upstream some stuff 
we will have to carry workarounds in this .spec

~cristian

Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-02-07 11:56:25 UTC
Well, I (and the other reviewers) want to clean up the package
which this package depends on first, libgeotiff, gdal, etc...

By the way, are you in need of sponsor?

Comment 3 Balint Cristian 2007-02-07 12:03:45 UTC
Yes :-)

Ok, lets do it :-)

I pinged Tom, hope he will respond, otherwise lets disable 
geotiff from gdal. If till tomorrow will no answear i will
help you disaple and pack gdal in the *right* way.

MUSTFIX: This is non-acceptable.

You must move these files elsewhere e.g. %{_libdir}/grass-<version>


Comment 5 Balint Cristian 2007-02-07 14:45:16 UTC
Right, its far much better.

splitted out whole GISBASE env in %{_libdir}/grass-<version>.
olso online internal docs splitted in /usr/shar/docs/grass-6.2.1/docs/html/*
+fixed related paths in script-enviroment for this split.
+tested functionality of grass this way olso, its fine.

rpmlint report no bugs.

See updated  src.rpm and .spec fron the URL provided by me.

other things ?


Comment 6 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-02-07 14:55:05 UTC
Ah...

Please increase the release number every time you
do some modification for spec/srpm. This is a must item
do avoid confusion.

Anyway, as I said above, I want to deal with gdal...
before this package.

Comment 7 Balint Cristian 2007-02-07 15:01:19 UTC
Ok, next time i will ++.

  Till gdal, can review as much as possible this ?
Its pretty complicated to pack this beast, it has an unfrendly
enviroment that has to be converted to FHS and fedora standards.
  And lots of minor nits may still be inside ....


Comment 8 Michael Schwendt 2007-02-07 15:24:11 UTC
> Requires:  grass-libs

Unless mispackaged, there is an automatic dependency on library
sonames already. Query the binary rpm file with "rpm -qpR".
Avoid explicit dependencies on package names wherever possible.

> Provides:  grass = %{version}-%{release}

It's automatic already and hence duplicate.
Every package "Provides: %name = %version-%release" automatically.

> %package libs
> Requires:  python tk
> Requires:  zlib mesa-libGL mesa-libGLw xorg-x11-util-macros freetype lesstif
> Requires:  proj geos blas lapack fftw2 gdal => 1.4.0
> Requires:  unixODBC mysql postgresql-libs sqlite
> Provides:  grass-libs = %{version}-%{release}

Same here. The "Provides" is not needed. Plus, you have lots of
suspicious and questionable dependencies on library package names
in there, which should be automatic already.

[-devel package]

> Requires:  grass-libs => 6.2.1

Does that really work? Is "=>" recognised as ">="?
Anyway, ought to be "Requires: grass-libs = %{version}-%{release}"
If you don't require a specific %version-%release, your package
users will run into funny problems whenever grass-devel and
grass-libs are out-of-sync.

>%build
>
>CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS"
>CXXFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS"

Not needed. The %configure macro sets and exports these two already.

> gzip -9 ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_prefix}/grass-%{version}/man/man1/*.1

Manual pages included in %doc are compressed automatically.

> %post devel -p /sbin/ldconfig
> %postun devel -p /sbin/ldconfig

Useless.


%defattr in sub-packages ought to come _before_ %doc file sections.

Still no good... same as comment 13

Comment 17 Balint Cristian 2007-02-26 13:52:44 UTC
i fixed that stupid proj path lookup. Now i386 fail becouse ld is unable to 
see a stupid symbol from libGL.so ..... erghhhh. x86_64 is fine.

I try to fix it _today_.

   I will disable gdal from now, since gdal has many problems. But i will put 
effort to take gdal in an includable shape.Grass can work without gdal, but 
import/export will be disabled for several gis formats, wich render grass to 
be able to use only few gis formats.

But grass still can be very-very fine even without gdal.
Erghhh ... GRASS compiled with ssp flags shows tons of bufer overflows ... so
custom ./configure is required. And lots of upstream fixes ... (i will take 
care, its not so dificult)




Comment 18 Balint Cristian 2007-02-28 00:48:12 UTC
  Further fixed grass. Tested its functionality deeper, looks fine now,
with specific fedora compile time optimization disabled. I can leave now
disabled RPM_OPT_FLAGS until i post mainstream patch to avoid overflows.


update:
Spec URL: http://openrisc.rdsor.ro/grass.spec
SRPM URL: http://openrisc.rdsor.ro/grass-6.2.3-6.src.rpm

libGL.so is fixed mainstream.
Please make sure you have mesa-libGL-devel-6.5.2-6.fc7,
not sure yet if -6 is aviable in this very moment, maybe
have to wait to propagate to download.fedora.redhat.com

I olso updated gdal bz.

Comment 20 Balint Cristian 2007-02-28 00:52:24 UTC
an small nit:

>But grass still can be very-very fine even without gdal.
^^^^^ this is not true. Trying to disable it from grass hit over
an impossible count number of how many times gdal is called from
the source code. So basicaly its hardcoded into.

Still was not good.. I added
"libtiff-devel libpng-devel" for BuildRequires.

Check if this build log is what you expect.
(Note: I just rebuilt grass and have not checked any of
 grass) Especially, check if some "no" return on configure
can be ignored.

Well, for -9:

* BuildRequires:
  - As said before, "libtiff-devel libpng-devel" are missing at least.
  - Please check the following.
------------------------------------------------------
checking for mysql_config... /usr/bin/mysql_config
checking for mysql_server_init... no
configure: warning: libmysqld not found
------------------------------------------------------

* Requires (expecially for -devel) package
  - Check the Requirement for -devel package.
    @ Usually this can be checked by what files the header files
      in -devel package try to "include".
    @ And usually these dependencies should correcly appear on
      pkgconfig .pc file as "Requires:" section
    @ And the requirement for pkgconfig is missing

* Source
  - Please specify URLs of all sources (if possible), especially
    Source2.

* Timestamps
  - This package contains a lot of text files (such as header files,
    scripts), image files and so.
    Please keep timestamps on those files.

* rpmlint (check attached)
  + incoherent-version-in-changelog
    (This is because I increased the release number to add missing
     BuildRequires)
  - unused-direct-shlib-dependency
    This can be usually ignored.
  - undefined-non-weak-symbol
    @ As this has -devel package and linkage is done for the libraries
      in -devel package, this cannot be ignored.
      Perhaps linkage against libm.so is missing.
    
* Compiler flags
  - Well, would you explain a bit more in detail what happens with
    "-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" (on this bug)?
    And is it not-so-easy problem to fix?

* Desktop file
  - Category "Application" is deprecated and should be removed.

* Documentation total size
  - Well, I wonder if -doc subpackage should be created for grass
    because the documentation included in main packages seems a bit
    large in total..

* Documentation
  - I think the following documentations should be added
----------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES 	       - to main
ChangeLog_6.2.1.gz     - to -devel
TODO		       - to devel

Ugh, some plugins will simply crash with stack overflow error. In fact
i need to investigate all places where this occur. It render unusable 
grass for now if i dont warkaround that flag.

  Grass will render unusable if docs are not included. There are tons 
of buttons and hints wich use thos html references.
 If its really needed i can split into -docs, but mandatory dep of grass
over -docs would be than.

 Well, its a list of some constants/parameters used for transformation 
between geographical projections, as i see its done by grass team.
 I wonder what is so illegal over it since those transforms are documented 
in hundred thousand of books and places ... Every geograph/topo stuff should 
know about elipsoid projection or whatsoever kind of non-cartesian 
projections ....
  In fact i wonder who was first, patent-camera or e.g Gauss or Krasovsky ... 
;-)

 Basicaly are constant numbers like PI in math ...

 If need i remove tham, but i see that in fact the grass team did those tables
for their own, or maybe clarify origin ?

rpmlint log for grass-6.2.1-10

Well, for 6.2.1-10:

* Requies:
  A. for -devel:
     * lesstiff-devel - perhaps typo..

* rpmlint (attached)
  - Still complains about "undefined-non-weak-symbol", perhaps
    due to lack of the linkage against libm.so
    NOTE: This rpmlint (i.e. I wrote as "For installed rpms") can
	  be gained by:
-------------------------------------------------------
# rpmlint grass grass-devel grass-libs
-------------------------------------------------------
	  after you install grass, grass-devel, grass-libs.
	  i.e. rpmlint can be used also for installed rpms, and
	       some of the rpmlint complaints can be gained
	       only by this way.

* For grass.pc file:
  - Well, the column "Requires: <foo>" means
    * pkg-config searches <foo>.pc when pkg-config tries to use
      grass.pc
    * and pkg-config addes cflags or libs in <foo>.pc automatically
      for grass.pc

      Well, so "Requires: ncurses-devel" in grass.pc means that
      grass.pc requires "ncurses-devel.pc", which is not right.
      (and ncurses-devel does not have any pkgconfig .pc file)

      IMO Requires: on grass.pc should be:
---------------------------------------------------------
Requires: xt x11 xproto glproto
---------------------------------------------------------
      , and Cflags should have:
---------------------------------------------------------
Cflags: -I${includedir} -I/usr/include/gdal
---------------------------------------------------------
      (Well, -I/usr/include/gdal has to be added because header files
       in gdal-devel is moved to /usr/include/gdal)
      Also, prefix, exec_prefix is perhaps not right.

      However, the better idea is to add gdal.pc in gdal-devel,
      which has:
---------------------------------------------------------
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include

Name: GDAL
Description: GIS file format library
Version: 1.4.0
Libs: -L${libdir}
Cflags: -I%{includedir}/gdal
---------------------------------------------------------
    , which is installed under %{_libdir}/pkgconfig, and fix
      grass.pc so that
---------------------------------------------------------
# Package Information for pkg-config
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include

Name: GRASS
Description: GRASS GIS
Version: 6.2.1
Libs: -L%{libdir} -lgrass_I -lgrass_vask -lgrass_gmath -lgrass_gis
-lgrass_datetime -lgrass_gproj -lgrass_vect -lgrass_dbmibase -lgrass
_dbmiclient
Cflags: -I${includedir}/grass
Requires: xt x11 xproto glproto gdal
---------------------------------------------------------
    (on i386, ppc!! on x86_64, $libdir differ)

* For keeping timestamps:
  - For this the following seems to work (check how the timestamp
    change by adding following).
---------------------------------------------------------
# readline requires ncurses, so workaround.
# correct mysql_config query
sed -i 's|-lreadline|-lreadline -lcurses|g' configure
sed -i 's|--libmysqld-libs|--libs|g' configure

sed -i 's|^cp |cp -p |' tools/build_html_index.sh <- ADD
sed -i 's|-cp |-cp -p |' Makefile <- ADD

%build

# configure without optimizations.
# code may contain sensible buffer overflows triggered by gcc ssp flag

export CFLAGS="$OPT_FLAGS" 
export CXXFLAGS="$OPT_FLAGS" 
export CPPFLAGS="$OPT_FLAGS"
export INSTALL="%{__install} -c -p" <- ADD

---------------------------------------------------------

* For license:
  - Well, I just asked you and from your comment it seems no problem

lesstif-devel is the correct. (according to one of include file)

I would like to investigate it more deep and fix it upstream.

   I followed second idea, added olso to gdal .pc file. I would like post olso 
upstream. (Still work to update gdal, so it may take a while to propagate 
into -extras)

  Thank you for the fix !

grass.pc.in (with some fix)

For -11:

* pkgconfig file:
  - Well,
------------------------------------------------
Libs: -L%{libdir} -lgrass_I -lgrass_vask -lgrass_gmath -lgrass_gis
-lgrass_datetime -lgrass_gproj -lgrass_vect -lgrass_dbmibase -lgrass_dbmiclient

------------------------------------------------
    Actually this should be "-L${libdir}", not percent. This was my
    typo, sorry...
  - Other issues are: prefix, exec_prefix, libdir, includedir for grass.pc is
not correct.

    The attached grass.pc.in should work.

  ? By the way, there are some other /usr/lib/libgrass_??.so which don't appear

    in grass.pc file. Would you know why? (perhaps because of some intention
    of upstream).

  - And for gdal.pc, the correct one is
------------------------------------------------
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgdal
------------------------------------------------
    ... my bad ...

* Optflags
  ? Not bad, and I didn't notice this, however, fedora optflags seems to be
passed twice.
------------------------------------------------

+ Timestamps are actually fixed correctly.
+ rpmlint warnings can now all be ignored.

Well, again I will try to check all source files 
(although there are 5000+ files...) I hope that this review
is now approaching to the goal.

yes. right.

Dont know very exact. There are other projects e.g gdal can be builded against 
grass (i will enable it when grass will be mainstream) or there is olso a 
mapserver called project wich is compiled against grass-devel so i guess some 
of libs may be internal and some external as i figured out :-D but not 100% 
sure right now. (sorry for this)

(i would like to include mapserver olso, as part of php-* extensions for 
apache !!! , really, really nice project , it can outperform comercial 
soultions from ESRI Inc. in the area of web-publish gis or maps 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ if want see project against grass libs)

Yes that one was already noticed by me, submitted upstream -14 gdal is fine.

  Tasaka, if you take it easy, will be a loss if this grass will be not 
submited in this seasson :-) I got already a long list to fix upstream ...

 Anyway must thank to you a lot for helping me out, you was very kind at all ! 
and olso Patrice patience and helpout was great !

   Its just a wrapper, i think its safe.
   It calls external cli tools like pnmtompeg from netpnm:
http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html

   Indeed, fedora netpnm does not contain the mpeg parts :-)

   Duke developed many software, thay just want to promote themself by asking
in cases of expos or whatever publications to mention their names.
Is it completely unacceptable ?

Comment 42 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-03-18 14:22:08 UTC
Well, for license issue:

* For 1 and 2, I will re-read them, however currently I don't
  think they are problems.

* For 3 (i.e. files under under ./raster/r.terraflow/), perhaps
  this is a problem because this "advertising clause" in old
  BSD license is marked as "imcompatible with GPL".

piece of crap i'll remove it.
Indeed that plugin sucks and its useless.

Further grass versions will probably get rid.

In this case i fork the tarball like for gdal, with explanations included,
and try upstream to see how can fix this.

Be back in <1 hour with the soulution.


Comment 44 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-03-18 17:03:36 UTC
Well,

* Files under ./raster/r.out.mpeg/ are of no problem. They only
  refer to MPEG-1 and actually they are only wrappers for
  ppmtompeg.

* For ./lib/form/license.term
  - Well, it seems that many software have this "restriction for
    goverment" term. Perhaps the related documents are

    http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfars/html/current/252227.htm#252.227-7013
    http://acquisition.gov/far/current/html/52_227.html#wp1139492

    however, I still cannot find out (c) (1) (ii) section...
    and I think we can ignore this.

Comment 45 Balint Cristian 2007-03-19 12:38:06 UTC
