Bug ID: 1905710 Summary: Review Request: libffi3.1 - Compatibility package for libffi SONAME bump. Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org Reporter: codonell@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: https://pagure.io/libffi3.1/blob/master/f/libffi3.1.spec SRPM URL: https://pagure.io/libffi3.1 Description: A portable foreign function interface library Fedora Account System Username: codonell
This package spec is largely a clone of the existing libffi spec file since we are cloning the libffi package to provide a compatibility package for the upstream SONAME bump.
The best user experience is guaranteed with a compatibility package that provides the "libffi.so.6" SONAME, otherwise you can't even init a mock chroot because p11-kit requires libffi.so.6, but the newer libffi-3.4-1 will only provide "libffi.so.8."
DJ Delorie and I have been working on this SONAME transistion strategy and we have already tested the following packages: p11-kit python3.9 glib2 gobject-introspection pygobject3 guile22 wayland llvm all built with libffi3.1 and libffi (experimental upgrade to 3.4).
Without a libffi3.1 it is not easily possible to upgrade to libffi-3.4-1 (it could be done in a side-tag but the compatibility package offers the best user experience for other binaries that rely on the older SONAME).

--- Comment #2 from Carlos O'Donell codonell@redhat.com --- Since this is a compatibility package it is excluded from review requirements.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/#...
"The package is being created so that multiple versions of the same package can coexist in the distribution (or coexist between EPEL and RHEL). The package MUST be properly named according to the naming guidelines and MUST NOT conflict with all other versions of the same package."
Proper naming is being followed, we are using libffi3.1 to ship the version 3.1 of libffi (no delimiter required).
I am moving directly now to request the package be created.

--- Comment #3 from Nathan Scott nathans@redhat.com --- Package LGTM... review notes follow.
[x] MUST: rpmlint must be run on the source rpm and all binary rpms the build produces. The output should be posted in the review.(refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#rpmlint)
libffi3.1.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US libffi -> bailiff libffi3.1.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US libffi -> bailiff libffi3.1-devel.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US libffi -> bailiff libffi3.1-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation 5 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings.
[x] MUST: The package must be named according to the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines [x] MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Spec_file_name). [x] MUST: The package must meet the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines. [x] MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines. [x] MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. (refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#ValidLicenseShor...) [x] MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.(refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#License Text) [x] MUST: The spec file must be written in American English. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#summary) [x] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Spec_Legibility) [x] MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL for how to deal with this. [x] MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Architecture_Support) [-] MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in ExcludeArch. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch MUST have a bug filed in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that architecture. The bug number MUST be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding ExcludeArch line. (refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Architecture_Build_Failur...) [x] MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions_2 section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense. [-] MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.(refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Handling_Locale_Files) [x] MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Shared_Libraries) [x] MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries.(refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_lib...) [x] MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#RelocatablePackages) [x] MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. (refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#FileAndDirectoryOwnership) [x] MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings. (Notable exception: license texts in specific situations)(refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#DuplicateFiles) [x] MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#FilePermissions) [x] MUST: Each package must consistently use macros. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#macros) [x] MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#CodeVsContent) [-] MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity). (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#PackageDocumentation) [x] MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#PackageDocumentation) [x] MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#DevelPackages) [-] MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries) [x] MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#DevelPackages) [x] MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#RequiringBasePackage) [x] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.(refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries) [-] MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the %install section. If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#desktop) [x] MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. (refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#FileAndDirectoryOwnership) [x] MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#FilenameEncoding)
[-] SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#License_Text) [-] SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#summary) [x] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/MockTricks) [x] SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#ArchitectureSupport) [x] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example. [x] SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Scriptlets) [-] SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#RequiringBasePackage) [x] SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#PkgconfigFiles) [-] SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file instead of the file itself. (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#FileDeps) [-] SHOULD: your package should contain man pages for binaries/scripts. If it doesn't, work with upstream to add them where they make sense.(refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Man_pages)
