Bug ID: 1165620 Summary: Review Request: biber - Command-line bibliographic manager, BibTeX replacement Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org Reporter: cbm@m.fsf.org QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org

Spec URL: http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/macdonald/fedora/biber.spec SRPM URL: http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/macdonald/fedora/biber-1.8-3.fc21.src.rpm

Description: Biber is a command-line tool for dealing with bibliographic databases. Biber offers a large superset of legacy BibTeX (texlive-bibtex) functionality. It is often used with the popular BibLaTeX package (texlive-biblatex), where it is required for some features.

Fedora Account System Username: cbm

I maintain copr's for this, e.g., at https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/cbm/f21-biber-1.8/ and https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/cbm/biber-1.8.

I will also submit a set of perl dependencies too.

I would like to co-maintain with Mary Ellen Foster (usename: mef), who wrote the first version of this spec file.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165620

--- Comment #1 from Colin Macdonald cbm@m.fsf.org --- Question: am I specifying the dependency on texlive-bibtex correctly? The current version in F21 is "4:svn32245.2.8a". I want to specify that biber should not be used with versions less than 2.8. So I put:

Requires: texlive-biblatex >= 4:svn32245.2.8

Is that right? What if it compares based on the epoch or svn numbers intead? Presumably the svn number would not increase while the version number went down :) But still, is there a "proper" way to specify its the 2.8 I care about?

--- Comment #2 from Petr Šabata psabata@redhat.com --- Hmm, well, there's no way to guarantee you will always end up with 2.8+, no matter what you put there. If we suddenly ship texlive-biblatex-5:1.0, it will be considered a newer version because that's just how epoch works. That svn part is also more significant than "2.8", so 4:svn32246.1.0 would also be considered newer.

The good thing is it's very unlikely something like that would happen so I would suggest picking the oldest "2.8" release we've had and require that or newer. Which is probably what you're doing :)

Also, check out rpmdev-vercmp. It's a helpful tool when you're not sure how rpm would compare certain version string.

1. @psabata: What should I do about this?

...

perl Build.PL

Checking prerequisites... requires: ! Unicode::Collate (0.97) is installed, but we need version >= 0.98

It seems to work without. And AFAICT, Unicode::Collate is baked-in to our perl (?) The META.json file also says this.

2. I may need to fix-up Source0. IIRC (months ago) I followed some guide on packaging from git and re-zipped it as "plk-biber-v1.8-0-g848ca84.zip". But surely I can just use "biber-848ca84face08bdba8a6e8d95447b0ec71e56804.zip", as served by "https://github.com/plk/biber/archive/848ca84face08bdba8a6e8d95447b0ec71e5680...

3. Actually, on re-reading that, I should probably just take "http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/1.8/bibl..." instead. Although this filename is not versioned...

@psabata: What should I do about this?

perl Build.PL

Checking prerequisites... requires: ! Unicode::Collate (0.97) is installed, but we need version >= 0.98

It seems to work without. And AFAICT, Unicode::Collate is baked-in to our perl (?) The META.json file also says this.

Unicode::Collate is indeed bundled with perl but also lives on on CPAN as a separate distribution ("dual-lives"). What we can do is to subpackage the module from the perl package and then package the standalone Unicode::Collate module which will update and replace the perl subpackage.

We do this for many modules already and plan to subpackage most or all of them at some point. It's an ongoing work. If you really need the new Unicode::Collate, I can do that for you.

...

I may need to fix-up Source0. IIRC (months ago) I followed some guide

on packaging from git and re-zipped it as "plk-biber-v1.8-0-g848ca84.zip". But surely I can just use "biber-848ca84face08bdba8a6e8d95447b0ec71e56804.zip", as served by "https://github.com/plk/biber/archive/ 848ca84face08bdba8a6e8d95447b0ec71e56804.zip"?

Github generates tarballs from tags, you can use these: https://github.com/plk/biber/releases

Also, v1.9 has been available for a while. Any reason to stick with 1.8?

...

Actually, on re-reading that, I should probably just take

"http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/1.8/ biblatex-biber.tar.gz" instead. Although this filename is not versioned...

I would use the abovementioned tarballs.

--- Comment #7 from Colin Macdonald cbm@m.fsf.org --- I guess (but don't know) that it really needed the a newer Unicode::Collate. Here is a commit for biber 1.9 which increments it to 1.04:

https://github.com/plk/biber/commit/4a49c1a679de30a8834bb79844b08e49ced50058

I could ask upstream? Or ask you to do the subpackage :) If latter, I'll file a bug for that.

It could be just that the author had that specific version of Unicode::Collate installed. Maybe it's not really required.

Or maybe it is. Maybe biber breaks in some situations if Unicode::Collate is too old :)

You can ask upstream, sure. I'll subpackage it (next week) anyway.

There's no inheritence. These can differ and they often do (e.g. when not everything is tested). You need to list that twice.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165620

--- Comment #13 from Petr Šabata psabata@redhat.com --- So, after checking your long dep list:

Missing build-time dependencies: - perl itself - it is called in the spec file - Log::Log4perl::Appender::File - Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen - Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout - Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout - these are via tests -> Biber -> Biber::Config - re - this is via tests -> Biber -> Biber::Utils - Text::BibTeX::Name - Text::BibTeX::NameFormat - these are via tests -> Biber::Input::file::bibtex

I think you can safely drop the following build-time deps: - Business::ISBN - Business::ISSN - Business::ISMN - this code isn't tested - Config::AutoConf - Encode::EUCJPASCII - Encode::HanExtra - Encode::JIS2K - ExtUtils::LibBuilder - these aren't actually used anywhere - Getopt::Long - only used by the script and it's not tested - List::MoreUtils - again, not used anywhere - LWP::Simple - LWP::Protocol::https - Mozila::CA - this code isn't tested - Pod::Usage - only used by the script, not tested - Readonly - Readonly::XS - not tested; furthermore, the XS variant is only recommended for improved performance - Unicode::Collate - amusing, isn't it? It's not actually used anywhere; some of its submodules are but not this one -- and with the dependency constraint removed, you can just drop this completely - XML::LibXSLT - this code isn't tested - XML::Writer::String - this isn't used anywhere, not even mentioned in META; where did you find it?...

Now, for the runtime dependencies. These can be dropped from the list because rpmbuild's generators will automagically find them for you: - autovivification - Data::Dump - Data::Compare - Data::Simple - File::Slurp - IPC::Cmd - IPC::Run3 - List::AllUtils - Log::Log4perl - Regexp::Common - Unicode::GCString - URI - XML::Writer

And these just aren't needed at all: - Encode::EUCJPASCII - Encode::HanExtra - Encode::JIS2K - List::MoreUtils - Unicode::Collate - XML::Writer::String

Note Text::BibTeX gets autodetected too, however, it's missing the version constraint. Therefore keep your explicit runtime dependency and filter out the autogenerated one, like this, on one line:

%global __requires_exclude %{?__requires_exclude:%__requires_exclude|}^perl$Text::BibTeX$$

You also need to add this to your runtime dep list, the generators won't pick it up: - Unicode::Collate::Locale

That should be all for the deps, next...

The license tag is incorrect. The README file states the distribution is licensed under GPL+ or Artistic 2.0, however, all the code mentions Artistic 2.0 only. I would suggest using `(GPL+ or Artistic 2.0) and Artistic 2.0' here.

And perhaps package TODO.org as %doc, too.

Hopefully that's all there is to this review :)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165620

--- Comment #14 from Colin Macdonald cbm@m.fsf.org --- Thank you Petr!

1. Regarding this:

...

XML::Writer::String

this isn't used anywhere, not even mentioned in META; where did you find it?...

I'm not sure. I suspect it was in the original work of @mef and I just kept it. So perhaps a previous biber depended on it.

2. I added that package to Fedora a few months: but no need to retire it over this I assume?

3. Some of the deps we've just dropped are explicitly mentioned in the various meta files: if I get a chance I'll look into fixing those upstream.

4. New version:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cbm755/fedora-spec/master/biber.spec

http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/macdonald/fedora/biber-1.8-8.fc22.src.rpm

Thanks again.

Of course not.

the various meta files: if I get a chance I'll look into fixing those upstream.

Upstreams rarely care about this but sure, do try.
