------- Additional Comments From roozbeh@farsiweb.info 2007-02-03 12:16 EST ------- Passed ====== MUST: NVR is fine (assuming that renaming the package to glib breaks various things) MUST: spec filename matches package name MUST: license is fine (LGPL) MUST: license field is fine MUST: license in upstream tarball and marked as %doc MUST: spec in American English, as far as I can tell MUST: source matches upstream (both md5sum and sha1sum) MUST: compiled and built binaries on FC6 MUST: no ExcludeArch MUST: locales handled finely by %find_lang MUST: ldconfig called in %post and %postun MUST: no relocation MUST: no duplicate files MUST: file permissions fine MUST: %clean section exists and fine MUST: macros fine MUST: contains code MUST: no large docs MUST: %doc files should not be needed to run MUST: header files and static libs are in -devel MUST: -devel require pkgconfig MUST: *.so files are in -devel MUST: -devel has fully versioned dependency MUST: *.la file are removed MUST: not a GUI app MUST: does not seem to own dirs owned by others
Suggestions and improvements ============================ * rpmlint gives the following errors:
for glib2: E: glib2 obsolete-not-provided glib-gtkbeta E: glib2 executable-sourced-script /etc/profile.d/glib2.sh 0755 E: glib2 executable-sourced-script /etc/profile.d/glib2.csh 0755
for glib2-devel: E: glib2-devel obsolete-not-provided glib-gtkbeta-devel E: glib2-devel only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
I believe all should be fixed.
* The CVS contains several dropped patches that may need to be removed (depending on how a merge would happen)
* The line BuildRequires: pkgconfig >= 0.8 doesn't make sense, specially since rawhide has had a newer version since Feb 2002 and also that since it has had that, it also had an epoch of 1. From the requirement from the configure.in file, it should perhaps be pkgconfig >= 1:0.14. Also update the "Requires" in -devel to 1:0.14.
* The viewpoint of the summary for the devel sub-package does not match the viewpoint of the summary of the main package. They should be aligned.
* The Conflicts lines are probably wrong or unnecessary. Even if it's required, the reason should be documented and the line probably be changed to "Requires". See http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Conflicts for details
* Static libraries are enabled, contrary to the Packaging Guidelines. I guess the reason should be documented (anaconda?).
* The make line in %build does not have %{?_smp_mflags}.
* %check is empty for ppc and ppc64. The reason should perhaps be documented.
* %defattr line should perhaps have an extra dash at the end: "%defattr(-,root,root,-)"
* Package places files in /etc/profile.d (which is not in FHS), without owning the directory itself or having a Requires on a package that does.
* May need to mark %{_datadir}/gtk-doc/html/* as %doc
Review TODO =========== * Thorough consideration of packaging guidelines (a MUST item) * Theoretically, all dependenies may not be listed (a MUST item), as I did not do a Rawhide mock build.

Considering that this package has been built many times in brew, you can assume that the BRs are sufficient.

- rpmlint gives the following errors:
E: glib2 executable-sourced-script /etc/profile.d/glib2.sh 0755 E: glib2 executable-sourced-script /etc/profile.d/glib2.csh 0755
Every single file in /etc/profile.d is currently executable. If that is supposed to be changed, we should probably have a guideline addition about it.
E: glib2-devel only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
That is clearly a misleading rpmlint error. This is caused by glib living in /lib now, but the development stuff still being in /usr/lib. I hope nobody advocates moving /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include to /lib

One package that needs the glib2 static library is syslog-ng v2 (a sysklogd replacement).
I'd consider that a bug of syslog-ng. I did remove the static libraries from glib2 during the FC6 devel cycle, and then various people came out of the woods and admitted that they had linked to glib2 statically (some initscripts things, and at least one pam module). That was the reason we moved glib2 to /lib, so that we can stop shipping 5 statically linked copies of glib in /bin. But then Jeremy said that static glib libraries are also needed for anaconda. Since it is much harder to avoid static linking there, the static libaries were added back.
I would be willing to move the static libraries to a -static subpackage if that helps.
One bug relevant to this is bug 191678.

Syslog-ng v2 links glib2 and eventlog statically by default. There is a configure option to enable the dynamic linking of the above libraries. I will try it and also try to have the eventlog dynamic library installed in /lib.
I would be willing to move the static libraries to a -static subpackage if that helps.

%define pkgconfig_version 1:0.14 [...] pkgconfig >= %{pkgconfig_version}
I skimmed the Packaging Guidelines also. All looks either good or don't-know-what-to-do now. As for setup requirement, since there is a requires chain of "setup -> basesystem -> glibc -> glib2", it's fine. For the executable files in /etc/profile.d, I will ping the authorities!

------- Additional Comments From roozbeh@farsiweb.info 2007-02-04 13:58 EST ------- OK, trying to restrict myself, these are the final rants. I also went over the Packaging Guidelines. Summarizing the status of things as they stand, and I believe they are all:
Blockers -------- * The executable-sourced-scripts errors by rpmlint are definitely errors. Reading the rpmlint source code it only checks two directories for such things, /etc/bash_completion.d and /etc/profile.d. Bug here: http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/17. I guess Separate bugs need to be filed for other packages that put execuatble files there.
* The two "Conflicts"es are fine, but should be documented. Quote from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Conflicts: "Remember, whenever you use Conflicts:, you are also required to include the reasoning in a comment next to the Conflicts: entry, so that it will be abundantly clear why it needed to exist."
* From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines: "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." glib2 puts files in /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/. That means that it should at least depend on gtk-doc that owns /usr/share/gtk-doc. The html subdirectory is more problematic, but I think gtk-doc should be changed to own it. Already mentioned in bug 225870.
* Please use the "-p" option of install for copying files to /etc/profile.d. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Timestamps
Possible improvements --------------------- * I believe the summary lines should be a little different for each sub-package. My raw suggestion is "developement files for glib2" and "static libaries for glib2", but anything that makes the three a little different is fine. A user is supposed to be able to distinguish the packages based on their description sometimes. Same description doesn't help.
* Please mark %{_datadir}/gtk-doc/html/* as documents. Just add a %doc at the beginning of the line.
rpmlint output -------------- E: glib2 executable-sourced-script /etc/profile.d/glib2.sh 0755 E: glib2 executable-sourced-script /etc/profile.d/glib2.csh 0755 E: glib2-devel only-non-binary-in-usr-lib E: glib2-static devel-dependency glib2-devel W: glib2-static no-documentation W: glib2-static devel-file-in-non-devel-package /lib/libglib-2.0.a W: glib2-static devel-file-in-non-devel-package /lib/libgobject-2.0.a W: glib2-static devel-file-in-non-devel-package /lib/libgthread-2.0.a W: glib2-static devel-file-in-non-devel-package /lib/libgmodule-2.0.a

------- Additional Comments From mclasen@redhat.com 2007-02-04 17:36 EST ------- Some more fixes in -3.fc7. I haven't added a gtk-doc dependency, since that would be a bit backwards. gtk-doc is the tool used to create the documentation. There is very little reason to require gtk-doc at runtime, just for the sake of directory ownership. It would make a lot more sense to give the package to e.g. devhelp, which can actually use the content of those directories at runtime.

Some more fixes in -3.fc7.
Thanks a lot.
It would make a lot more sense to give the package to e.g. devhelp, which can actually use the content of those directories at runtime.
Considering the discussions on bug 225875 (see comments by Patrice Dumas and Ralf Corsepius), please either own the directory or depend on something that does. I believe this is mostly to make sure that installing the package and then removing it doesn't leave empty directories around.
All other blockers are fixed now. The package is fine if this problem gets fixed either way.

You are right on the spot - This is what this is all about.

In addition to what has already been said: When building the fc7/devel glib2 package on fc6, the test-suite hangs.

These are not fine. glib2 can install its runtime libs into /lib if it needs to, but installing devel-libs there is NOT OK.
Matthias, please check how glibc is being packaged. They install the runtime-parts into /lib and install the devel parts to %{_libdir} (Technically this should not be much more than an ordinary %configure plus moving the lib*.so.* in %install)

Then there was a problem! It doesn't always happen, but yes, it sometimes hanged on me (during or after the thread-related tests, IIRC). I thought it's because of not clean build environment, because of its sometimes-happening-sometimes-not nature.

create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. Refer to the Guidelines for examples.
OK.
- MUST: A package must not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing.
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.
OK.
- MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
OK.
- MUST: Each package must consistently use macros, as described in the macros
section of Packaging Guidelines.
OK.
- MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. This is
described in detail in the code vs. content section of Packaging Guidelines.
OK.
- MUST: Large documentation files should 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)
Not done. I think it makes sense to keep it in devel, as it allows for easy integration in devhelp.
- 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.
OK.
- MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package.
OK.
- MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package.
OK.
- MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'
(for directory ownership and usability).
OK.
- 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.
OK.
- MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base
package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
OK.
- MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these should be
removed in the spec.
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. This is described in detail in the desktop files section of Packaging Guidelines. 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.
N/A.
- 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.
OK.
- MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT). See Prepping BuildRoot For %install for details.
OK.
- MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.
OK.
- 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.
OK.
- SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should
contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
N/A.
- SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. See
MockTricks for details on how to do this.
OK.
- SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all
supported architectures.
OK.
- SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A
package should not segfault instead of running, for example.
OK.
- SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is
vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity.
OK.
- SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base
package using a fully versioned dependency.
OK.
- 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.
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. Please see File Dependencies in the Guidelines for further information.
N/A.
Looks good to me.
