[Bug 827809] New: Review Request: genbackupdata - A program to generate test data for testing backup software
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827809
Bug ID: 827809 QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org Severity: medium Version: rawhide Priority: medium CC: notting@redhat.com, package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org Summary: Review Request: genbackupdata - A program to generate test data for testing backup software Regression: --- Story Points: --- Classification: Fedora OS: Linux Reporter: michel+fdr@sylvestre.me Type: --- Documentation: --- Hardware: All Mount Type: --- Status: NEW Component: Package Review Product: Fedora
Spec URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/admin/genbackupdata.spec SRPM URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/admin/genbackupdata-1.6-1.fc17.src.rpm Description: genbackupdata creates or modifies directory trees in ways that simulate real filesystems sufficiently well for performance testing of backup software. For example, it can create files that are a mix of small text files and big binary files, with the binary files containing random binary junk which compresses badly. This can then be backed up, and later the directory tree can be changed by creating new files, modifying files, or deleting or renaming files. The backup can then be run again.
The output is deterministic, such that for a given set of parameters the same output always happens. Thus it is more efficient to distribute genbackupdata and a set of parameters between people who wish to benchmark backup software than distributing very large test sets.

--- Comment #2 from Mattia Meneguzzo mattia.meneguzzo+fedora@gmail.com --- I tried to review your package. Nevertheless, as you can see, I decided not to officially assign the review to myself, since this is my first attempt and I don't want my errors or misunderstandings to affect review quality. So, my "review draft" can be considered as a starting point for anyone else wanting to officially review your package.

I tried to review your package. Nevertheless, as you can see, I decided not to officially assign the review to myself, since this is my first attempt and I don't want my errors or misunderstandings to affect review quality.
Hi Mattia, no problem at all -- let's go through the points you flagged in the review, so you can do a full review next time :)
(In reply to comment #1)
==== Generic ==== [!]: MUST Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging Guidelines.
The source package does not include the text of the license.
This is a separate issue - there's another item in the review saying the source package should include the license. For this you can check the license on the project website
[!]: MUST Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least one supported primary architecture.
As some of the dependencies (python-ttystatus, in this case) have not been built yet, you probably need to either wait until they are, or build and install them yourself for the review.
[!]: MUST All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines. Note: The package did not built BR could therefore not be checked or the package failed to build because of missing BR
This should probably be a question mark -- you flag this item if the build requirements are incomplete (e.g. as evidenced by the package not building in mock, or the build output indicating that some features that should be enabled are not enabled)
[?]: MUST Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
Fair enough, since you couldn't see what files are generated
[!]: MUST License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
In the Spec file, License field is GPLv2+. A copy of the license is missing from the source, so we cannot be certain which the real license is. Plus, the software author states the license is GPLv2+ in "README", but mentions GPLv3+ in "setup.py".
Aha, thanks, will try and clarify
[!]: MUST Rpmlint output is silent.
As you can see, the "failure" is often due to rpmlint's dictionary not understanding technical terms. If you don't think the words it picked up are actually misspelled, you can just check this ('x') if there are no other issues
[!]: SHOULD Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
ps you can install packages not found in standard repos yet using mock: mock <insert your normal mock options here> install path-to-rpm1 path-to-rpm2 ...
The last missing dependency has actually been approved yesterday, so I'll build it for Rawhide, F17 and F16 in the next couple of hours, and then add them to the "buildroot overrides" so that they are available to our Koji build servers *before* the update review period is over. You'd still need to install them by hand if you're testing using mock, though (see instructions above) -- just go to koji.fedoraproject.org and search for the package name and you'll be able to find and download the RPM.
Don't worry about not doing a full review this time :) You got tripped up by the package's dependencies not being fully available yet, but it makes for a more interesting process.

Michel, could you please take a look on this. It fails during unit-testing - maybe there are some missing BuildRequires?

Hi Peter - thanks for taking this review! No, not a missing BR; the upstream coverage test is meant to be run before building, and so it got tripped up by the build directory.
