Description: QupZilla is modern web browser based on WebKit core and Qt Framework. It is designed to be lightweight and fast and offers advanced functions such as
- an integrated advertisement blocker,
- a search engine manager,
- a SSL certificate manager,
- speed dial
- theming support, and
- seamless integration into your desktop environment

Scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4056074

Comment 1 Volker Fröhlich 2012-05-06 15:47:02 UTC
The development symlink should not be there, as there are no headers. I suggest to just delete it.

Since one of the seemingly private libraries is installed in libdir, rpmlint complains about not running ldconfig. If this library really is private, it should ideally not be in libdir, but in the subdirectory along with the others. The provides of the final package also contain all those private libraries; that should be filtered.

%dir %{_libdir}/qupzilla and %{_libdir}/qupzilla/*.so could be simplified to %{_libdir}/qupzilla. Probably use the name macro here.

There are a couple of warnings for the desktop file. You should also run a scriplet for the icons installed in datadir/icons: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache

Consider to include README.md, as it contains some useful information.

I suggest to add a -f where you're deleting the "useless plugin", just in case it disappears in a future release.

Buildroot rm in the install section, clean section and buildroot definition are definitely not necessary, as you BR qt >= 4.7, which is only in Fedora.

I think the package could have a better Summary, but it's not a must.

I noticed, there are a couple of plug-ins and private libraries with BSD licenses. As far as I understand http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios, this should be mentioned or the files should even be put to sub-packages.

Somebody once suggested on one of my reviews, to remove the trailing slash after the domain name on the URL. I don't mind it, but I'd like to mention it.

Are USE_WEBGL and USE_QTWEBKIT_2_2 options of interest? Both should work, I think.

Comment 2 Volker Fröhlich 2012-07-22 20:08:27 UTC
Still interested?

Comment 3 Christoph Wickert 2012-07-22 21:24:23 UTC
Sure, but currently very busy. I don' think I will find time next week, if somebody else wants to move this forward, he is welcome.

I filtered out libQupZilla and the plugins and run ldconfig to make rpmlint happy. Attempts to move the library to %{_libdir}/%{name}/ have been too cumbersome.

I am using desktop-file-install now as I also add x-scheme-handlers.

D'oh, of course.

What do you think could be improved?

Changed the license tag to "GPLv3+ and BSD".

Yes, it does and they add interesting features.

Ad summary:

Probably something like "Modern Qt-based web browser" -- Slightly less generic

I think, there's a more up to date method: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tibbs/AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering

In anticipation that you fit the other minor issues easily, this package is approved.

===== SHOULD items =====

Generic:
[x]: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[!]: Buildroot is not present
     Note: Buildroot: present but not needed

Since qupzilla requires Qt 4.7, it will never go to EPEL5.
Thus the buildroot is not necessary. I still think the ">= 4.7" could
go away as well, since every version of Fedora has Qt >= 4.7.

[x]: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)

     from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.
[x]: Dist tag is present.
[x]: No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin.
[!]: Final provides and requires are sane (rpm -q --provides and rpm -q
     --requires).

You could add --as-needed to avoid libm and libQtXml, if that makes any sense.
 
[x]: Package functions as described.
[x]: Latest version is packaged.
[x]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
[x]: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files are correct.
[x]: Scriptlets must be sane, if used.
[x]: SourceX tarball generation or download is documented.
[x]: SourceX / PatchY prefixed with %{name}.
     Note: Source0 (QupZilla-1.3.5.tar.gz)

This is due to the non-capitalized name and not an error.

[x]: SourceX is a working URL.
[-]: Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains
     translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
[x]: Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
     architectures.
[-]: %check is present and all tests pass.
[!]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed files.

Themes loose their original date

[x]: Spec use %global instead of %define.

===== EXTRA items =====

Generic:
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all installed packages.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.

AFAIC we should not use technical terms like tool kits or programming language in the summary, they don't matter from a user's POV.

Thanks, this is slightly easier, however I wonder if it was approved by the packaging committee.

Actually this is not really a multiple licensing scenario because the resulting binaries or libs are not under separate licenses.

If code that is licensed under different licenses is compiled into one binary or library, then the most restrictive license applies. GPLv2+ and BSD compiled into one plugin results in GPLv2+, GPLv2+ and GPLv3+ results in GPLv3+. We could as well just declare the whole package GPLv3+, nevertheless I have listed the individual licenses and added a comment to the spec.
