Description Paulo Andrade 2012-05-03 01:22:01 UTC
Spec URL: http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/0ad.spec
data files Spec URL: http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/0ad-data.spec
SRPM URL: http://kenobi.mandriva.com/~pcpa/0ad-r11339-1.fc16.src.rpm
Description: 0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform
real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. In short, it is a
historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite
the history of Western civilizations, focusing on the years between 500 B.C.
and 500 A.D. The project is highly ambitious, involving state-of-the-art 3D
graphics, detailed artwork, sound, and a flexible and powerful custom-built
game engine.

The game has been in development by Wildfire Games (WFG), a group of volunteer,
hobbyist game developers, since 2001.

---
I did not upload the data files srpm because it is too large, and build
is basically just uncompress of the tarball.

I made a koji --scratch build and it finished without errors.

I also confirmed the package works. I won as Romans against Iberians
in the default single user game setup :-)

As stated in the spec files, it is based on instructions at
http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions#Linux and the
specs are very close to
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=0ad&project=games
and
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=0ad-data&project=games

Comment 1 Miroslav Suchý 2012-05-17 12:20:08 UTC
You either build it from one spec, or you will need two independent package reviews.
I suggest you to make 0ad-data subpackage of 0ad.

I suppose we can live in this specific case without uploading src.rpm and spec is just ok.

Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2012-05-18 07:40:21 UTC
Oh sorry, I thought that those packages are build from one tar.gz. They are built from 2 different tar.gz.
In this case I reccomend you to leave this review only for 0ad. And create new review for 0ad-data. And 0ad-data should be review before 0ad.

Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2012-05-18 07:54:21 UTC
You stated:
 License:	GPLv2+
But LICENSE.txt list more licenses used:
 MIT and what I'm worried about is "Various (unspecified)"

You have to dive deep in and dig out all licenses used.

Comment 4 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-18 13:45:47 UTC
Thanks. I will work on a new package in the weekend, as there is a newer
alpha with Hellenic race split in 3, now there are Spartans! and do
a more complete review of the licenses, and should also ask in upstream
forums for more details.
I will also add a newer review request for 0ad-data.

Comment 5 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-18 15:29:31 UTC
I did a minor conversion from the OBS sample spec files, but they indeed should
be in error, e.g. models and textures should be most if not all CC-BY-SA.

Indeed, upacking "public.zip" from the 0ad-data package, I see only data files,
but two LICENSE.txt files, in art and audio subdirectories,

Extra comments:
  I thought I had commented in the bug report, but did not, so, there is
an issue with fedora using a too old enet, so the package is not built
with --with-system-enet. This could only be remedied by detecting what
packages, if any require the older api enet in fedora, and add the newer
one. Upstream maintains two incompatible trees:
http://enet.bespin.org/SourceDistro.html

  nvtt could be packaged as a system package, but would require the patches
from the tarball to actually build (outdated from 2007 upstream), in README.txt
README.txt 
This is NVTT 2.0.8-1 from http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-texture-tools/
plus some patches:
  r1156.patch (from NVTT SVN r1156 - fixes build with libtiff 4.0)
  r1157.patch (from NVTT SVN r1157 - fixes build with CUDA 3.0)
  r1172.patch (from NVTT SVN r1172 - fixes memory allocator interaction with Valgrind)
  r907.patch and r1025.patch (from NVTT SVN - fixes build on FreeBSD)
  rpath.patch (fixes .so file search paths for bundled copy)
  issue139.patch (fixes http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-texture-tools/issues/detail?id=139)
  png-api.patch (partially from NVTT SVN r1248 - fixes build with libpng 1.5)
  cmake-freebsd.patch (fixes build on FreeBSD)

Comment 6 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-19 02:40:26 UTC
I just checked that rawhide ships enet-1.3.3, so, for rawhide
it can use system enet.

I am also working on a nvidia-texture-tools package, so, I guess
I will give up on packaging 0ad (and megaglest) for f16 and f17
and stick to rawhide.

Comment 7 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-19 04:56:54 UTC
New upstream alpha, and now there is also a separate 0ad-data
review request.

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad-r11863-1.fc18.src.rpm

Comment 8 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-19 05:00:36 UTC
Forgot to specify, the two patches were reported upstream at:
http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1420
http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1421

Also, just in case, I tested the package and it works :-)

Comment 9 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-22 01:37:22 UTC
Updated package

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad-r11863-2.fc18.src.rpm

- Disable dependency on nvidia-texture-tools (#823096).
- Disable %%check as it requires nvtt.
- Add manual page.

The package appears functional with nvtt disabled. And I also requested
some information at http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1427

  I just did download it again to ensure it was not replaced by
upstream. I think your test may have donwloaded the tar.gz file,
did uncompress it, or did download some .html file...

  I can check if reasonable to add a soversion to those libraries. But
they are not really meant to be in -devel packages, as no headers are
installed, and they are not in %_libdir on purpose.

Comment 12 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-23 00:51:02 UTC
I addressed the fedora-review issues, but the unversioned .so
in %{_libdir}/0ad. If this really needs to be rpmlint silent,
I can work on making a fake -devel package and patch the
package to generate a versioned .so and link to it.

Note that this would not the only package that has "modules" or
libraries in %{_libdir}/*/lib*.so

Actually, I already reported a related issue about rpath to
upstream, to avoid needing special cases :-) at
http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1421

Updated package:

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad-r11863-3.fc18.src.rpm

Comment 13 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-05-23 08:00:06 UTC
They are since many time a spec for 0ad at http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/bioinfornatics/0ad/
(not yet updated to latest release alpha X)

but i do not think 0ad can go to official repo as he is many bundle library and this it is a no go.

Private unversioned libraries in %{_libdir}/0ad/ are perfectly fine, no need to do downstream patches to change this. It's also common to have an RPATH set that points to %{_libdir}/0ad/ :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Rpath_for_Internal_Libraries

rpmlint is just a tool to warn about possible problems in the spec file. Sometimes its heuristics are right, sometimes not. There are often good reasons to ignore rpmlint warnings/errors, it doesn't have to be silent always.

  Thanks for the information. I was only aware of OpenSUSE obs builds for
Fedora, and got somewhat involved with it after waiting several months
checking from time to time if the Mandriva package was functional...

  In case the package is approved, I would be glad to have it assigned
to a maintainer group :-)

> but i do not think 0ad can go to official repo as he is many bundle library
> and this it is a no go.

  The only issue with bundled packages now is fcollada, that either
following links in the embedded sources, or the "Download" link from
http://collada.org/mediawiki/index.php/FCollada are not working
(lead to a link, to information about "formerly Feeling Software",
the original authors...). But searching a bit more, I see
http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14539

  But for now I prefer not to add extra review requests, and would
be better if there was some legal information about nvidia-texture-tools
issue with possibly encumbered s3tc decompression (and compression, but
AFAIK compression can be done in non infringing, and faster ways, the
problem is decompression that cannot be fully done without infringing
the patent).

Comment 16 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-05-23 14:52:58 UTC
s3tc lib are in rpm-fusion if it is legal in your state

Comment 17 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-23 15:29:40 UTC
You mean squish? Then would need to check if can use that instead of the bundled version in nvidia-texture-tools.

Maybe the proper approach would be to just package 0ad in rpm-fusion :-)

I do not see 0ad at http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/development/rawhide/source/SRPMS/repoview/amusements.games.group.html so, it should be better to move to there... I will try to create an account and submit a review request in the weekend, but I already got plenty in my plate, and 0ad was a side review request, hoping to not consume too much time on it...

About being legal, afaik this patent is a non issue in all the world but US, Japan, Germany and possibly a few other countries (but US is pushing hard to have the rest of the world to use US laws). Apple was sued recently due to s3tc; unlikely they would sue "minor" distros, but Red Hat could be a target...

Comment 18 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-05-28 07:40:10 UTC
if can to add the french desciption given in my spec file and create a subpackage data as i do (take example) that is ok for me

Comment 19 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-28 14:31:51 UTC
Ok. I have another review request, and actually updated it to
build in fedora 16 and 17, and rawhide, making it optional to
build with system nvtt or internal nvtt, and also have the
option to disable nvtt (default), so that it should not build
any s3tc handling code. The rpmfusion review request is at:
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2342

I made 0ad-data another package. This is useful if needs to
rebuild only the binary, as there is no need to generate
another (very large) 0ad-data with the same contents.

Comment 20 Kalev Lember 2012-05-28 14:44:42 UTC
Why rpmfusion? As I understand it, the issue that was blocking 0ad from Fedora inclusion was s3tc patents; if the package works without nvidia-texture-tools, can't this go to Fedora proper?

Comment 21 Paulo Andrade 2012-05-29 14:22:16 UTC
The option to build with nvtt disabled is not documented,
and need a patch to "forward" it to the premake lua script,
and also to not fail before.

I would also prefer to have it in Fedora, but I am afraid
it may at some point no longer build without nvtt, and AFAIK
the code the patent cover is somewhat simple and I am not sure
there is no "inline" implementation of it somewhere else in the
sources. This is partly why I asked for some information at
http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1427

I think for this game this would qualify as "fair use", but
IANAL, and if doing this, would it also be "fair use" to have
s3tc enabled in Mesa? Maybe could also have a s3tc enabled
Mesa in rpmfusion; AFAIK Ubuntu has it as a PPA,
https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/

Comment 22 Bruno Wolff III 2012-05-31 03:37:28 UTC
Fair use is for copyright, not patents. And not all places have fair use as a defense.

Comment 23 MERCIER Jonathan 2012-06-06 23:26:26 UTC
just to add every patch should be reported to the upstream

Comment 24 Paulo Andrade 2012-06-09 14:14:49 UTC
Patches were reported upstream as specified in #c8. The patch to disable nvtt was not clearly stated as reported upstream in #c9, but was attached to the related trac.
But now I have the package review request still here, and opened another one in rpmfusion :-) Because I think it should use nvtt, actually the issue with s3tc, that is the, behind a patent, "standard" for texture compression.

Comment 25 Bruno Wolff III 2012-06-09 15:40:19 UTC
st3c isn't enabled in the Fedora version of mesa. Is having this enabled for 0 AD in rpmfusion going to help?

Comment 26 Paulo Andrade 2012-06-09 17:11:55 UTC
I asked for some upstream comment at http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1427 when providing a patch to disable nvtt. The patch appears to work and I did not notice problems in a simple game.
I just noticed in 0ad logs it says my computer supports s3tc (the output does not match glxinfo), so, I changed /usr/share/0ad/config/default.cfg, that should also include a patch for no s3tc, to:

;nos3tc = false
nos3tc = true

and

;force_s3tc_enable = true
force_s3tc_enable = false

but still did not see any problems.

I know for sure it is required for "make check" and game modding, and should be of use at least for people using the nvidia and amd drivers, otherwise, mesa with s3tc enabled could be provided in the rpmfusion repository.
Maybe with recent "rumours" about valve steam ported to linux this would be more of an issue.

Comment 27 Paulo Andrade 2012-07-13 14:14:19 UTC
I am happy enough with the comment at http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1427
so, with nvtt disabled, it should be ok to have 0ad in fedora, not rpmfusion.

I will close the nvtt review requests and rpmfusion review requests and only wait/hope :-) for a review here.

Comment 28 Paulo Andrade 2012-09-05 14:53:06 UTC
Reverse dependency. It should be 0ad-data that depends on 0ad for review.

Comment 29 Paulo Andrade 2012-09-05 15:09:03 UTC
0ad is available in debian, see http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/0ad and a license review can be viewed at http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-games/packages/trunk/0ad/debian/copyright?view=markup

The package I am proposing also removes the nvtt files before starting build and patches the build to not compile code that uses S3TC.

I messed things a bit by making a review request at rpmfusion, then later closing it and choosing to only make a review request with S3TC disabled, sorry...

I really would like to have a Legal response about it, as, besides in alpha, it is a "state of the art" game, very high quality and quite playable, and would be very valuable in fedora game spin.

Blame me if I forgot some step :-) but I believe I followed all recommendations in this report, and the latest package is at

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~pcpa/0ad-r11863-5.fc18.src.rpm

and should build cleanly for f16 or newer.

Comment 30 Bruno Wolff III 2012-09-05 16:22:53 UTC
Alpha 11 should be due out any day now, and it looks like there are some significant improvements. (I think gates are supposed to work now, which will make walls more useful.)

Comment 31 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-09-06 00:26:53 UTC
Just to be clear here, what question(s) are you asking of Fedora Legal?

Comment 32 Paulo Andrade 2012-09-06 02:57:35 UTC
(In reply to comment #31)
> Just to be clear here, what question(s) are you asking of Fedora Legal?

Some comment about s3tc, and if just not building it is enough (and removing sources at %build time is ok), otherwise there is a bundled nvtt, that bundles an old squish library, that implements code covered by the S3TC patent.

Other than that, I just tried to get some attention to this review request :-)

PS: debian appears to also package nvidia-texture-tools, see http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/nvidia-texture-tools

Comment 33 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-09-06 13:17:56 UTC
You may not ship any code in Fedora that implements S3TC. You will need to make a clean source tarball that has any such code removed, it is not sufficient to remove these sources at %build.

Sorry. :/

Comment 34 Miroslav Suchý 2012-09-06 15:03:42 UTC
But that should not be problem. Simly manualy remove it from that tar.gz and put in spec in comment before Source0 document what and how it was removed.
We will not be able to verify md5 of tar.gz, but that is not blocker.

Comment 35 Paulo Andrade 2012-09-07 01:19:35 UTC
Thanks for the comments. I remade the package for review request, and just confirmed it works with fc17 and up to date rawhide. For rawhide, it required to adapt a patch already in upstream trac to build with boost 1.50, and I made a patch to build with libxml2 2.9 and submitted it for upstream review at http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1656

I made a few standard cleanups to the spec (it was one of the first packages I submitted for review), confirmed it builds in a mock chroot, and changed it to add a comment of how the tarball was regenerated, and removed the s3tc implementation from it, but left it easy to use a single %global to support user builds with s3tc enabled (but now needs to redownload upstream source or regenerate it from a svn checkout).

Thanks for updating to alpha 11. It looks like it has lots of improvements over alpha 10. Hopefully alpha 12 will have the AI performance fixed.

Comment 38 Miroslav Suchý 2012-09-08 19:25:59 UTC
rpmlint warning:
0ad.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary pyrogenesis

Although, this is not blocker, but Debian has man page (written under GPLv2) so you can use that.

Comment 39 Miroslav Suchý 2012-09-08 19:29:58 UTC
Oh, it should by just symlink to:
/usr/share/man/man1/pyrogenesis.1.gz -> 0ad.1.gz

And more precise it should not be in group:
  1 - Executable programs or shell commands
but in group
  6 - Games

Comment 40 Paulo Andrade 2012-09-08 21:51:53 UTC
Thanks for the review!

Updated package:

- Corrected the manual page group
- Made a symlink from 0ad to pyrogenesis manual page
- Followed my own advice in comments and reviewed/updated the manual page :-)
- Corrected some typos in the (manually written) manual page

Thanks for the review. I will upload a newer srpm tonight, but may
need some extra feedback also :-)

  libAtlasUI.so is 0ad specific for the map editor, e.g. "0ad -editor".

  libCollada.so is from the 0ad "fork" of fcollada. From what I understand,
the last opensource version is from 2008, and all links at
http://collada.org/mediawiki/index.php/FCollada lead to
http://www.fortem.com/

  The closest to a common open source collada I know of is
https://github.com/fcolladaCE/fcolladaCE, following the information at
http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/562, but the debian 0ad package
also uses the bundled one in 0ad sources.

  I made a breakdown in #c5, but I am not an specialist :-), it may be
desirable a third opinion, maybe ask FE-LEGAL again. The spec states:

License:	GPLv2+ and BSD and MIT and IBM

> [!]: SHOULD If the source package does not include license text(s) as a

  I can open a trac asking for clarification on this. Possibly asking
to use the debian copyright file? The debian copyright file already
have a very detailed description for every file and special cases.
LICENSE.txt states:

"""
Some files don't yet have licensing details specified - if you care about any
in particular, let us know and we can try to clarify it.
"""

that should refer to the "various".

I will correct it, in a quick view it is not preserving 2 time
stamps, of a png file and from the manual page I wrote. The
others should not matter as they are generated during package
build.

Comment 43 Miroslav Suchý 2012-09-11 14:58:05 UTC
ad bundled libraries: ok then.
 So libAtlasUI.so is 0ad specific
 and libCollada.so is fork with some differencies from old library and until fcolladaCE is mature and upstream of 0ad will migrate I'm fine with having it packaged together.

ad licenses:
  it should be easyily distinguishable in .spec which part is under which license
put in .spec something like:

# MIT license:
#   source/lib
#   librariries/fcollada
# BSD license
#   ....
# GPLv2+:
#    everything else
License:    GPLv2+ and BSD and MIT and IBM

Comment 44 Paulo Andrade 2012-09-12 01:09:50 UTC
I could not log in <http://trac.wildfiregames.com/login> right now,
tried resetting password too, so did not make a suggestion of using
debian/copyright information in LICENSE.txt.

I did not add LGPLv2+ neither MPL-1.1 to the License tag, but now
added it in the comments because the source is in the tarball,
besides not used/built. Should the license tag be extended?

New package:

- Clarify source tree licenses information in spec (#818401)
- Preserve time stamp of installed files (#818401)

Comment 45 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-09-12 12:50:56 UTC
The License tag should reflect the binary package, not the SRPM, so this is correct.
