Review request for oclock package (orphaned since F35)

[Globe Trotter]

Hello,

Anyone willing to review this request for a recently (>8 weeks) orphaned package?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2025138

Happy to review in return.

[Globe Trotter]

Thank you to Dan Čermák for reviewing this package. However, I had two questions from his
comments. The first was that the spec file should use gpgverify. 
So, I went to the suggested webpage:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_source_file_v...
and did the following to get my signature 

Source0:    https://www.x.org/pub/individual/app/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Source1:    %{source0}.sig

but can not tell how to get the gpg keyring from the site. 

Second, it is also suggested that I start using rpmautospec, as that will make package
maintenance simpler in the long run. I like that of course, but I am trying to understand
where this is used? 

Thanks for any advice!

Please compare with
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xfontsel/blob/rawhide/f/xfontsel.spec, paying close
attention to the comments in the spec file. SKS keyservers have gone offline since that
package obtained its keyring, so try using hkps://keys.openpgp.org instead.

That package also uses rpmautospec.

Wonderful, thank you! This is the sort of pointer I was looking for. I will now try it.

To elaborate on this, the procedure described in xfontsel.spec finds the
key that was used to make the signature, so whoever made the signature
becomes the trusted upstream.

If you do that *once*, it's a form of trust on first use. It lets you
discover future attacks as long as you continue using the same key,
assuming that you got the right key to begin with.

If you would repeat the key lookup every time you upgrade the package,
then you would render the verification meaningless. You'd just be
verifying that the tarball was signed by whoever signed the tarball. So
don't do that.

Can someone please review the oclock package? This was orphaned after F35, and I packaged
it for myself, and then would like to put it up. It was tentatively approved, but never
finally done so. Thanks!

Looks like the package is approved. The fedora-review flag is set to 
'+', meaning approved. You should be able to proceed with requesting a 
dist-git repo.

Or rather file a releng ticket requesting unretirement at 
https://pagure.io/releng/new_issue?template=package_unretirement&titl...

now the package is approved.

Sorry for the confusion.

-- Sandro

[Globe Trotter]

Thank you for this. I got:

fedpkg import ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/oclock-1.0.4-4.fc37.src.rpm
Removing no longer used file: dead.package
Could not execute import_srpm: This package or module is retired. The action has stopped.

so I guess I have request unretirement. I thought I did it sometime ago, but maybe not.

Thanks again!

How long does it take to unretire a package? I was thinking that it was automatic, but I
have not received any notification yet. Did this request last evening.

I don't think it's fully automated. It's a member of the releng team 
that has to process it. They will be back on duty on Monday.

See for example te previous unretirement request for oclock:

I see, thanks! I had indeed forgotten that the previous request had been closed.

Still no movement on my unretire requests for both slim and oclock, not even a request for
additional information.

Tags have been added to the ticket. So, it has come up in one of the 
meetings. Supposedly, no-one has found the time yet to work on it.

Feel free to ping in the ticket or bring it up in one of the meetings.

Thanks, Sandro! How does one ping in the ticket on paguire?

The easiest way is to just leave a comment in the ticket. If you need 
info from a specific person you would tag that person (@fas_user). That 
ensures people watching the ticket queue get another notification, 
bringing the ticket to their attention again.

But since Kevin already explained the delay, there's no need for that 
now. Either Kevin or the person returning from PTO next week will surely 
pick it up.

FYI, the main release engineer who usually processes these was on pto
last week, and I (who do release engineering work in my 'spare' time)
didn't have any time to get to any. 

If there's urgency on any request, please do note that in the ticket... 

We are working on automating unretire requests... hopefully that will
land before too long.

Otherwise we will get to them as soon as we can.

I might be able to do some this weekend, but I am trying to catch up on
around the house/yard tasks, so no promises. :)

[Globe Trotter]

Thanks, Kevin! No  problem, no rush, I did not quite know what to expect, hence the
questions. Thanks again!

Hi Ranjan,

Thanks for contributing to Fedora and maintaining packages.

It seems it is just the review that is needed:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_orphan_and_retired_...

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retireme...

Generally reviews go faster if the person asking for the review does a
review of another package - many people ask for review swaps on this
list. For a package with a reviewer you can add NEEDINFO in bugzilla so
that if an person has assigned themselves as reviewer does not respond
after a while, a new reviewer can take it up.

Benson,

Thanks! The package was cleared  on BZ some time ago. Is there some additional review that
is needed?

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,

Thanks for contributing to Fedora and maintaining packages.

It seems it is just the review that is needed:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_orphan_and_retired_...

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retireme...

Generally reviews go faster if the person asking for the review does a
review of another package - many people ask for review swaps on this
list. For a package with a reviewer you can add NEEDINFO in bugzilla so
that if an person has assigned themselves as reviewer does not respond
after a while, a new reviewer can take it up.

Sorry, that is correct. Usually state is set to post. It seems to have
been unretired:
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11417

Though project ownership has not been updated:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/oclock

It seems Slim has been unretired:
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11310
and project ownership updated:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/slim
Maybe just need to add the new files?

Yep.

It looks updated to me? Did I miss something there? 
Do let me know in the ticket if so.

Yes, it should be unretired and all ready to push commits
to/build/update.

Kevin, oclock was not updated, and Beson's email made me realize that I could go an do
it myself. I did that by the time you check. slim's was updated and both packages are
now in testing.

Best,
Ranjan

The re-review is done:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2025138

Releng unretiring the package is the next step, really.

rpmautospec reduces the necessary churn when updating packages, in the
simplest case it boils down to this:
- use `Release: %autorelease` instead of bumping it yourself
- don't write the %changelog yourself, just put:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%changelog
%autochangelog
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
at the bottom of the spec

The rpmautospec automation will then bump the release via %autorelease
on each git commit and put every commit message into the changelog.
This has the huge advantage, that it makes updating across all branches
rather easy as you do not have to resolve merge conflicts due to
diverging changelogs or different release numbers any more.


Hope this explains it a bit, feel free to reach out directly if you've
got further questions,

Dan
