[Bug 1480752] New: Review Request: kcov - Code coverage tool without special compilation options
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1480752
Bug ID: 1480752 Summary: Review Request: kcov - Code coverage tool without special compilation options Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org Reporter: dridi.boukelmoune@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org
Spec URL: https://dridi.fedorapeople.org/review/kcov.spec SRPM URL: https://dridi.fedorapeople.org/review/kcov-33-1.fc26.src.rpm
Description: Kcov is a code coverage tester for compiled programs, Python scripts and shell scripts. It allows collecting code coverage information from executables without special command-line arguments, and continuously produces output from long-running applications.
Fedora Account System Username: dridi
The source archive bundles 3 javascript files and C headers. The C headers don't matter on Linux but to be on the safe side they are removed during the %setup.
The 3 javascript files exist in packages but they are all shipped differently:
- a static javascript file - a nodejs module - an xstatic package
Versions shipped by Fedora probably don't match upstream expectations, and the javascript in question is embedded in the kcov program and used to generate static HTML reports. I chose to bundle them and document that via Provides.
I have been using a local build for a couple weeks now with satisfaction.

--- Comment #1 from Raphael Groner projects.rg@smart.ms --- Hi Dridi, are you interested in a review swap, maybe you can look into bug #1462467?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1480752
--- Comment #2 from Dridi Boukelmoune dridi.boukelmoune@gmail.com --- Hi Raphael,
Sure, I will gladly review your request too. Probably not before next weekend though but I see it depends on another review request so hopefully there's no hurry yet.
Thanks!

Dridi, thanks for your interest. We're nearly done with the dependencies, so it shouldn't block the review. Though, please don't expect any needed hurry as well. :)

Now works with (optional dependency) binutils on all branches.

--- Comment #5 from Raphael Groner projects.rg@smart.ms --- First, some general advices:
- You can directly link to pushed commits being parts of pull requests. For instance: Patch0: https://github.com/SimonKagstrom/kcov/commit/49b588443ddc6644f728d04af662a6d...
- Create a separate bug for each entry of ExcludeArch and let it block the individual tracker.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Architecture_Build_Failu...
- Please decide if the package is for python2 or python3, maybe both. The executables need to run with the versionized shebang command. BuildRequire: python is not unique about version. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Multiple_Python_Runtimes
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Avoiding_collisions_between_...
- Why not unbundle handlebars and jquery? What's the reason for concrete versions as noted?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Librari...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Bundling_and_Duplication...
- When above suggestion is applied to add direct links to upstream commits as patches, it's possible to use %autosetup only instead of %setup -q and several %patch lines.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package#.25prep_section:...
- Can you be more precise in %files about the file names? It would simplify further updates and 'll show new and lost files. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package#.25files_section

--- Comment #6 from Dridi Boukelmoune dridi.boukelmoune@gmail.com --- Sorry for the unresponsiveness, it's been quite a while already and today I'm dealing with a bunch of packages I maintain at once, and this one I'm submitting. In the mean time kcov-34 was released:
Spec URL: https://dridi.fedorapeople.org/review/kcov.spec SRPM URL: https://dridi.fedorapeople.org/review/kcov-34-1.fc28.src.rpm
Scratch build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=23630352 (rawhide) https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=23630994 (f27) https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=23631090 (f26)
Raphael, even though you removed yourself as the reviewer, I will nevertheless answer your comments for the next reviewer.
You can directly link to pushed commits being parts of pull requests.
While the commits would apply to the master branch, some wouldn't directly apply to the kcov-33 release. No longer a problem, they are part of kcov-34.
Please decide if the package is for python2 or python3, maybe both.
The package can work with both, and python was only needed by the test suite that is not yet in a shape suitable for the %check step. I was discussing this upstream at the time and will hopefully find time later to revisit this.
Why not unbundle handlebars and jquery?
TL;DR: They are used as static assets rather than libraries, full story in the updated spec.
What's the reason for concrete versions as noted?
Required by the same guidelines you linked since I chose bundling.
Can you be more precise in %files about the file names?
I'd rather lessen the packaging bureaucracy and use globs. As long as I don't own anything the package shouldn't, I believe it is allowed by the guidelines unless I missed an update at some point.

--- Comment #7 from Simon Kågström simon.kagstrom@gmail.com --- A small note: kcov doesn't actually depend on dyninst. It did that for a while between v33 and v34, but that dependency is gone again.

You forgot that part mentioned by Raphael:
No, a comment only until the package is approved according to the guidelines.
Remove cmake(dyninst) as upstream recommended
Will do!
Use a more meaningful name for your archive:
Thanks for the tip!

Already done last August, fixed in git and pending a release.

I'm afraid Simon was wrong because without dyninst the build plainly fails:

Here is a scratch build of this latest submission:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25698142
The only change is the Source tag resulting in a much better archive name.
Thanks!

Let it be known that I was wrong and Simon was right, the reason why building with dyninst worked was because one of its nested dependencies brought python in. So I updated the spec one last time after trying to build it on platforms that were initially excluded because of dyninst, wrote a patch for aarch64, and now only the s390 family is left unsupported.
