Summary: Review Request: xdvik - An X viewer for DVI files
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium

Spec URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/xdvik.spec
SRPM URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/xdvik-22.84.13-1.fc8.src.rpm
Description: Xdvik, the kpathsea version of xdvi, is a previewer for DVI files
produced e.g. by the TeX or troff typesetting systems.

Some background: Jindrich Novy's monumental and impressive texlive packaging effort includes xdvik since it is part of the TeXLive 2007 release. However, TeXLive isn't the upstream for xdvik, and Patrice Dumas posted a request on fedora-devel asking for people to volunteer standalone packages for components of texlive which have their own upstream. xdvik is such a package.

This package builds on F8, but still needs a fair bit of work, and is not yet review ready. However, I wanted to get it out in the open early to get feedback.

What I have done:
* Sun Jan  6 2008 Jonathan G. Underwood  - 22.84.13-1
- Initial package based on the texlive.spec by Jindrich Novy
- Updated to latest upstream xdvik and Japanese xdvik 
- Reviewed all patches relating to xdvi in texlive.spec and cherry picked
  those that are still needed
- Reworked the patch to allow building of xdvik and pxdvik

What still needs to be done:
Currently this builds against the bundled kpathsea library sources in
the tarball. We should be building against the kpathsea(-devel) packages
instead. Lots of missing Requires and BuildRequires. Needs building in Mock
for devel and rpmlint checking. And testing lots.

* Sun Jan  13 2008 Jonathan G. Underwood  - 22.84.13-2
- Add patch to build against system kpathsea rather than the one in the tarball
- Same patch also removes all includes to the t1lib headers shipped in the
tarball to 
  prevent conflicts with system t1lib-devel
- Spefile cleanups

Builds fine in mock, doesn't seem to give rpmlint errors or warnings. Therefore,
it's ready for review.

One thing a reviewer might check is where I've put the documentation - it's
unclear if docs should go in /usr/share/doc or /usr/share/texmf/doc. I favour
the former, since that's where docs for all other packages go.

Oh, I should also say, I don't actually have a rawhide installation to check
this runs on, so any testing of the built packages would be much appreciated.

The kpathsea directory was still necessary because of dependencies.
I have sort of fixed it by redoing the dependencies without 
the kpathsea directory, then rerunning configure to use the new 
depend.mk file and last removing the kpathsea directory.

I also made a patch for xdg-open, could you please submit it
upstream?

Also I made other little fixes.

Ah, yes, well spotted, ingenious fix. Don't you love this crufty code :)

Yeah - I'd just fixed that by replaing htmlview with xdg-open, but it's better
to have both there, I agree. Once we've got it all sorted out I plan to send an
email with all of the issues listed - I'll hold off for now to see if we find more.
> Also I made other little fixes.

ok, will check, thanks.

I've given up permitting to use system kpathsea upstream.
The dependencies are computed statically before the build
including and it is too complicated to have it changed in my 
opinion.

Yes, I can quite understand that - I gave up too. I will however describe the
issues we had to deal with to upstream in the hope that will provoke them to
revisit their autotoolery.

rpmlint still says:
xdvik.src:17: W: unversioned-explicit-obsoletes xdvi
xdvik.src:18: W: unversioned-explicit-provides xdvi
xdvik.src: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 43, tab: line 5)

Regarding the unversionned obsolete and requires I don't know 
if it is right or not, given that the package name may change
in the future and become xdvi.

Unless somebody else disagrees, and with the patch applied, this is
APPROVED

I'd like to be comaintainer. Jindrich, don't you want too?

I am inclined to simply change it to

Provides: xdvi = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoloetes: xdvi < 22.84.12

Objections?

------- Additional Comments From [e-mail]  2008-01-14 17:14 EST -------
A first note is that it seems to me that 22.84.12 should
be obsoleted (if xdvi is).

The issue I see is that the xdvi package exists and it
is a different upstream. However I can't see a reason why
somebody would want to package it. In fact it may have been 
unfortunate that I (I think it was me in a patch fro 
texlive.spec) called  it xdvi and not xdvik. However it is
not that obvious since it certainly makes sense to have 
yum install xdvi installs xdvik.

Maybe one possibility could be to drop completely the 
Obsoletes: xdvi

and leave
Provides: xdvi = %{version}-%{release}

This will hurt the rawhide texlive users but maybe it would be
better. Another possiblity could be

Obsoloetes: xdvi = 22.84.12

That way the xdvi in rawhide is obsoleted without much side-effect.

Yes, sorry, I meant Obsoletes: xdvi <=22.84.12

Yes.. but it's dead upstream ... no release since 2004... xdvik is essentially
upstream now.

Yes, we definately want yum install xdvi to do the right thing.

I am happy with that...

I don't think it will, since the xdvi in rawhide is at version 22.84.12-8.fc9,
so rawhide users will just see an updated package. Did I miss something?

On balance i think the last choice is probably best

Maybe. But I recall strange things happening with real package
names always winning against versioned virtual provides, even 
when the virtual provides is higher.

Anyway, I have tested that without obsoletes,
rpm -Uvh xdvik-22.84.13-3.fc9.i386.rpm
doesn't uninstall xdvi and therefore doesn't proceeds because of
conflicts.

So I guess that the Obsoletes is needed, and I think that
Obsoletes: xdvi = 22.84.12
is the cleanest.

Sure, go ahead. I did go through the texlive xdvi patches and have included the
ones that still seemed relevant - did I miss some?

The only I added is the fix for temporary files creation in xdvizilla.

I haven't built it yet, so feel free to build it as soon as you think it's ready :)

Unless I am wrong, in your patch you also obsolete every previous
release of xdvi, although we agreed to obsolete only the 
version that went into rawhide... Is it on purpose?

Error Summary
-------------

It seems the obsoloetes for tetex-xdvi are not working, for reasons that I don't
understand.

Ah, ok, ignore that, I had accidentally disabled the development repo, and had
the F8 repo enabled.

My tests show that it works as intended. Both with 
Obsoletes:      xdvi = 22.84.12
Obsoletes:      xdvi < %{version}

Jindrich, any reason why you extended the obsoletes to cover
< %{version} and not only 22.84.12?

I tried to fix the tetex-xdvi obsoletion of the current xdvik, but it apparently
didn't fix the problem.

The problem described in comment #31 is caused by the fact that tetex-xdvi
obsoletes xdvik so that it wants to remove this newly imported xdvik and replace
it by tetex-xdvi when F8 repo is enabled. I'll update/remove the obsoletes on
the tetex side so that this won't happen.

Indeed, this is a good example of unversioned obsoletes being
harmfull...

Yeah, recently I am repeatly seeing the updates message like
=============================================================================
 Package                 Arch       Version          Repository        Size

     replacing  xdvik.i386 22.84.13-6.fc9

Updating:
 authconfig              i386       5.3.20-1.fc9     koji-rawhide      414 k

Then on next update xdvik obsoletes tetex-xdvi.
