Description Robert Scheck 2009-07-31 14:50:32 UTC
Spec URL: http://labs.linuxnetz.de/bugzilla/rubygem-fastercsv.spec
SRPM URL: http://labs.linuxnetz.de/bugzilla/rubygem-fastercsv-1.5.0-1.src.rpm
Description:
FasterCSV is intended as a complete replacement to the CSV standard library.
It is significantly faster and smaller while still being pure Ruby code. It
also strives for a better interface.

Comment 1 Jan Klepek 2009-08-02 19:44:05 UTC
1] use global instead of define

2] summary should not start with name of application/library and there is missing subject of that sentence. 
better summary would be "Library for ..." and specifying what this library does.
does it parse csv files? or ... ?

3]
%if 0%{?rhel}%{?fedora} > 5
Requires:	ruby(abi) = %{ruby_abiver}
%endif

it has to require ruby(abi) = 1.8 otherwise it conflict with ruby packaging guidelines

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2009-08-05 13:11:20 UTC
Will correct 1/2/3/4, you're right. But given that 1 is a dumb Fedora decision,
which makes no sense from the rpm-only point of view.

Anything else I could correct as well? I don't want to provide a new *.src.rpm
for every possible tiny future change - thank you.

Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2009-08-05 16:34:21 UTC
Some notes

- LICENSE text says this is "GPLv2 or Ruby"
- As gem file contains test/ directory, add %check section
  and execute some tests.

By the way the comments 3] and 4] in comment 1 is blockers .

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2009-08-09 17:37:16 UTC
Thank you both so far, I hopefully addressed all mentioned issues now:

Comment 5 Jan Klepek 2009-08-15 10:19:43 UTC
1] 
license:
there is setup.rb which is LGPL
reflect it in spec file with appropriate comment
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios

*rpmlint ok
*ruby guidelines ok
*legible & english spec file
*naming ok
*directory ownage & files section ok
*clean/install section & macros ok
*utf-8 ok

conclusion: License needs to be corrected, otherwise it looks ok

Comment 6 Mamoru TASAKA 2009-08-15 10:30:29 UTC
(In reply to comment #5)
> 1] 
> license:

I don't think we should consider the license of setup.rb
( like that we usually does not consider the license of
  Makefile, configure )
Anyway "GPLv2 or Ruby" is stricter than LGPLv2 so this
can be ignored anyway.

Comment 7 Robert Scheck 2009-08-15 11:06:13 UTC
As this is clarified now, anything else?

Comment 8 Jan Klepek 2009-08-16 09:12:46 UTC
approved

Comment 9 Robert Scheck 2009-08-16 11:25:24 UTC
Jan, thank you for the review.
