Question:
 libqb does have tests that can run as a part of "make check".
 Is "make check" run as a part of the normal rpm creation?
 If so, is it desirable to run these as a part of building the rpm?

 I would need to add:
 BuildRequires: ... check-devel

# 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. [8]

does NOT apply

# MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any
that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ;
inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense.

OK

# MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the
%find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.[9]

does NOT apply

# 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. [10]

OK

# MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries.[11]

OK

# 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. [12]

does NOT apply

# 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. [13]

OK

# 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)[14]

OK

# MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set
with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a
%defattr(...) line. [15]

OK

# MUST: Each package must consistently use macros. [16]

not OK.

Please use consistently either %{buildroot} or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

Also, please document numcomm and dirty variables. I understand what they are
for by looking at upstream git repo, but it is worth explaining others why they
are there.

# MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. [17]

OK

# 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). [18]

does NOT apply

# 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. [18]

OK

# MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. [19]

OK

# MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. [20]

does NOT apply

# 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. [19]

OK

# MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base
package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} =
%{version}-%{release} [21]

OK

# MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be
removed in the spec if they are built.[20]

OK

# 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.
[22]

does NOT apply

# 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. [23]

OK

# MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. [24]

does NOT apply

# 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. [25]

does NOT apply

# SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should
contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. [26]

does NOT apply

# SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. [27]

OK (see above)

# SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all
supported architectures. [28]

OK (see above)

# SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A
package should not segfault instead of running, for example.

See my reply to comment #1

# SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague,
and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. [29]

OK

# SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package
using a fully versioned dependency. [21]

OK (see above)

# 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. [30]

OK

# 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. [31]

does NOT apply

# SHOULD: your package should contain man pages for binaries/scripts. If it
doesn't, work with upstream to add them where they make sense.[32]

I see no reason not to run the make test at build time and check-devel is only
a BuildRequires that would not clutter the final rpm with extra dependencies.

So please turn on make check in the build.

--- Comment #5 from Angus Salkeld <asalkeld(a)redhat.com&gt; 2011-01-13 20:50:40 EST ---
Thanks for the review Fabio!

I have updated the spec & srpm:
http://libqb.org/html/libqb.spec
http://libqb.org/html/libqb-0.4.0-2.fc14.src.rpm

I have built libqb on s390, arm & sparc (but the tests fail)
http://s390.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=283822
http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=51371
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=68945

Why does "ps" exist on the other arches but not sparc/arm?
./check_resources.sh: line 11: ps: command not found

There are some issue I want to sort out, are there machines
I can use to debug them?

Thanks
Angus

%changelog
* Fri Jan 14 2011 Angus Salkeld <asalkeld(a)redhat.com&gt; - 0.4.0-2
- remove "." from Summary

I can confirm that the new package addresses all the reported issues so far.

regarding the secondary arches failures. I don´t know what is the status of the
arm port, but sparc is not worth worrying about. sparc is behind due to some
toolchain issues. So for now let´s not worry about them in general and move on.
Primary/supported architectures are clear.

2 MUSTFIXES:

* From my build.log
...
./check_resources.sh: line 11: ps: command not found
...
=> missing BR: /bin/ps


* Package doesn't honor RPM_OPT_FLAGS.

The configure script plays nasty games with *FLAGS in a way they overwrite
Fedora's *FLAGS.

Excerpt from my build.log:
... gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include -I../include -I../include -O2 -g -pipe
-Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -O3 -ggdb3 -Wall ....

Note: ... "RPM_OPT_FLAGS"... -O3 -ggdb3.

The later overwrite flags from RPM_OPT_FLAGS.

One way to fix this is to sed out the stuff which is responsible for this from
configure.ac: e.g. by adding this before autogen.sh:

sed -i -e 's,OPT_CFLAGS="-O3",OPT_CFLAGS=,' \
 -e 's,GDB_FLAGS="-ggdb3",GDB_FLAGS=,' configure.ac


Should one of you be upstream, I'd seriously advise you to rework the
configure.ac and to start making "make dist" working to ship proerly packaged
tar-balls instead of .git snapshots.

Yes ACK, I think something has been fluxing in the chroot because in my
previous logs I didn´t have this issue at all. Now it is showing up. Probably
an update or something did change, anyway not worth investigating IMHO. The fix
is simple.

I disagree with this approach as policy allow flags override.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Compiler_flags

If upstream considers -O3 -ggdb3 better suitable for his code, they should
simply document that.

According to the build.log only "-O2 -g" are overridden.

make dist works just fine upstream, what problem are you experiencing exactly?
Random comments without some background information are not very useful.

I think what you miss is that the release script for libqb is capable of
handling both real release and snapshots to guarantee that the correct version
information are propagated across the board.

The srpm/rpm have been checked against a release tarball and they match. As
long as upstream releases and what is shipped in Fedora do match, I doubt it is
Fedora´s job to enforce any kind of release policy to upstream.

You are
mis-interpreting this.

No. They simply must not override vital *FLAGS.

>  According to the build.log only "-O2 -g" are overridden.
Correct  - These are vital and must not be overridden.

In case I was not clear enough: I will insist on this being fixed.

The
tarball is improperly packaged - E.g. its lack all auto*generated files,
which forces the Fedora packager to explictly pull in the autotools.

If so you need to make your case more complete and explicit.

Explain where the keyword "vital" is defined in fedora policy and why it should
be enforced to this level.

None of the gcc security flags are overridden and so far you haven´t given any
technical reason on why optimization flags should not.

Many upstreams do not ship autogenerated files and pull in autotools at build
time. If this is an issue please provide a pointer to the Fedora packaging
guideline that enforces upstream to behave as Fedora requires and/or mass-file
bugs after policy has been made clear.

Fedora Policy has only one draft to address that issue and it is still under
discussion on what the correct behavior should be in those cases. As long the
draft is not approved as official Policy, it cannot be enforced.

Common sense and the fact I know about the intentions behind this paragraph.

-OX and -g rsp. -gX are GCC
flags which comprise many other GCC flags
underneath.

What they exactly do changes over time and is machine/archtecture/OS dependent.

=> Consistent usage of these flags is vital to a distribution.

Openly said, I wonder why I have to explain this.

Yes, There are many people who are abusing the autotools, like due to lack
of
understanding.

This isn't an issue to Fedora - It's
an issue to such package's upstreams and
to those people who try to maintain such packages in Fedora.

Running the autotools during builds simply means exposing people to
non-determinisms. In other words, everytime somebody uses a different version
of the autotools than upstream, this person is likely to face issues from this.

Rest assured, these issues are not of a theoretical nature, they are real.

Not much of a problem - *I* don't have much of a problem with upstream being so
rude to expose their user base to avoidable risks nor do I have a problem with
fedora maintainers shooting themself into their own foot.

-O2 has changed in time as -O3 did. IME the only real safe option is to disable
-O all together (yes I have been hitted several times by -O2 breakage in the
past), and this is becoming a very academical discussion as it is clearly
senseless to go -O0.

If a piece of software is less performant with -O2 (see some crypto
implementation for example), with such strong policy in place (the way you
interpret it), will make Fedora a distribution I wouldn´t want to see that
software distributed.

-g is used only to generate debugging information with gdb3 increasing the
compatibility of the debugging info with gdb. It shouldn´t have any effect on
the final code being executed once the exec is stripped. hardly an issue here.

I am not asking you to repeat yourself. I am asking you to point me where in
the Policy it states that flags *MUST* be treated the way you are suggesting.

"Adding to and overriding or filtering parts of these flags is permitted if
there's a good reason to do so; the rationale for doing so should be reviewed
and documented in the specfile especially in the override and filter cases."

What part of "is permitted" am I misinterpreting?

See, I have already fixed several upstreams to behave exactly this way (ship
all autogenerated files etc), as I share this exact concerns (including the
upstream that libqb used as source for this first upstream cut. libqb hasn´t
catch up yet but I know that will happen at somepoint).

My point is that from a spec/package review process (since this is what we are
doing here), none of the Fedora Policies in place do enforce one way or
another. Taking those policy fight on a review is not the right forum or place.
Trying to "exploit" a review to leverage a policy change is IMHO not the right
way.

Hi guys

Sorry for the delay I have been on holiday.

I have changed upstream to:
1) only add -O and -g options if configured with either
   ./configure --enable-debug (adds -ggdb3 -O0)
   or
   ./configure --enable-coverage (adds -O0)
  So basically it won't override defaults unless requested to.

2) I have added procps and removed automake&autoconf from the BuildRequires

3) I have merged in the release system from corosync
   so we can have the auto*generated files included in the tarball.
4) I have released an upstream 0.4.1 to get theses changes.

The new spec is here:
http://libqb.org/html/libqb.spec
The new srpm here:

Checked the last package and it addresses all the issues mentioned above.

Now we just need a sponsor to do the job.

Hi Angus,

I've been asked by Robyn Bergeron to sponsor you for this package, and I am
willing to do so. Just had a few questions:

- Do you have any other pending package reviews, or have you done any informal
  reviews of other packages?
- In your spec, you document three variables at the top; are they just not set
in
  this release of the spec? (I would recommend having the definitions for each
of
  the variables in that comment block, but just commented out when they are not
  in use.)
- Also on those variables, please make sure that they follow the release tag
  guidelines:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Release_Tag
  At first glance, it appears that you may end up breaking some of those
  guidelines if you're not careful.
- Did you make sure that there were no dependencies on other headers in the
devel
  subpackage? The devel subpackage only requires pkgconfig.
- Instead of using %dir %{_includedir}/qb/ and listing each file in it
  individually, clean up your %files list by just listing %{_includedir}/qb/ --
  without the %dir command, it will include that directory and everything in
it.
  Consider this a blocker.

(Because I'm willing to sponsor you, I'm assigning this request to me.)

They are mainly used upstream, I am just trying to keep this and the upstream
in-sync as much as possible.
I tried adding them to the comment but had an rpmlint warning about having a
variable in a comment.

My idea was not to use these in the fedora release number.
(if doing an alpha release, I'll manually edit the "Release" string).

I believe so, we don't need std headers & man do we?
Is here a way of checking? I have done rpmlint and koji builds without
problems.

Well, the reason is so that when you use these header files in code, the
compiler doesn't throw an error because an #include file couldn't be found.

I ran the following (very very hacky) shell script from /usr/include in an
extracted version of the RPM:

for j in $(for i in $(grep -r '#include <' . | \
    sed -e 's/.*#include <\(.*\)>$/\1/'); do find /usr/include | \
    grep $i; done | less); do rpm -qf $j; done | grep -v kernel-headers | \
    grep -v libstdc++-devel | grep -v glibc-headers

(kernel-headers and glibc-headers are both deps for gcc; libstdc++-devel is a
dep for gcc-g++, so those don't need to be included.)

Nothing showed up in the output of that script, so I guess you're good.

If you have something else you need to package, I would recommend submitting
that for review and having me take a look at it. My sponsoring you depends on
how well I feel you understand the Fedora packaging guidelines. I think you've
got a pretty good grasp on them, but I generally like to see more than one
package from any submitter. (Alternatively, you can take any package review, do
an informal review of it, and link to that bug here.)

I have a question about this change. I am really working hard to improve my
packaging skills, to eventually become a sponsor, but I am not entirely sure
why one way is better than other.

In my head, the one liner is clearly easier to read in a spec file, but listing
all files has other benefits, such as detecting possible leaks of unwanted
files in there (an upstream build error for example), or possible API changes
by moving functions around to new headers, and that would allow the packagers
to easily spot them and possible notify the API users (there was a similar,
very detailed message - Subject: Poppler soname bump - that I find very
polite).

Thanks for your time.
Fabio

It's much a matter of
personal preference. Some people prefer "this way",
others "that way". I for one prefer the "one liner approach", because
of its
simplicity.
