[Bug 1665303] New: Review Request: rtv - A simple terminal viewer for Reddit (Reddit Terminal Viewer)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665303
Bug ID: 1665303 Summary: Review Request: rtv - A simple terminal viewer for Reddit (Reddit Terminal Viewer) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org Reporter: rosser.bjr@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/tc01/rtv/fedora-29-x86_64/00... SRPM URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/tc01/rtv/fedora-29-x86_64/00...
Description: RTV provides an interface to view and interact with reddit from your terminal. It's compatible with most terminal emulators on Linux and OS X. RTV is built in python using the curses library.
Fedora Account System Username: tc01
This is an un-retirement review; the package seems to have been retired because of a FTBFS on Python 3.7. However, there have been new releases upstream since the retirement; I simply updated the spec to the latest version, removed the optional Python 2 build, and rebuilt it. Everything worked as expected.
Since rtv was retired 5 months ago, I'm submitting a new review as per the un-retirement process:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rtv/commits/master
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Cl...
If approved, I'll submit the releng ticket to un-retire.

--- Comment #2 from Miro Hrončok mhroncok@redhat.com --- The manual requires on Python packages are unnecessary on Rawhide. You can opt in for this on older Fedoras as well: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_automatic...
$ rpm -qp --requires rtv-1.24.0-1.fc30.noarch.rpm /usr/bin/python3 python(abi) = 3.7 python3-beautifulsoup4 python3-decorator python3-kitchen python3-requests >= 2.4.0 python3-six python3.7dist(beautifulsoup4) python3.7dist(decorator) python3.7dist(kitchen) python3.7dist(requests) >= 2.4.0 python3.7dist(six)
Other than that, can praw be unbundled?

--- Comment #3 from Ben Rosser rosser.bjr@gmail.com ---
The manual requires on Python packages are unnecessary on Rawhide.
Right, I almost forgot about that. :) I'll fix this.
Other than that, can praw be unbundled?
It looks like it can be; rtv.packages is willing to import a system version of praw instead of the bundled copy as long as the major version starts with "3."
https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv/blob/master/rtv/packages/__init__.py
However, when I tried to build the package with praw unbundled on Rawhide, I got this...
Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides python3-decorator < 4.1 needed by python3-praw-3.6.0-8.fc29.noarch
And indeed, looking at praw, I can see this has been an issue since Fedora 28. :(
I'm guessing this package is not being maintained. It seems not only are there minor updates to 3.6.0 we're not shipping (3.6.2 is the latest), but there's also a 6.0 release (that I'm guessing may not be backwards compatible, hence why rtv wants to be installed against praw 3.x). https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/releases

--- Comment #4 from Miro Hrončok mhroncok@redhat.com --- Can this be fixed properly in praw? I can help you push changes in case the maintainer is AWOL.

--- Comment #5 from Elliott Sales de Andrade quantum.analyst@gmail.com --- praw seems pretty outdated; the packaged 3.6.0 doesn't even appear on the changelog: https://praw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/package_info/change_log.html
That is to say, I think the maintainer is very very AWOL.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665303
--- Comment #6 from Miro Hrončok mhroncok@redhat.com --- Are there any changes to be pushed?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665303
--- Comment #7 from Ben Rosser rosser.bjr@gmail.com --- Sorry for the delay on this... I did look into updating praw to 3.6.2 from 3.6.0. I discovered that, despite praw3 claiming it doesn't work with decorator
= 4.1, it actually works fine-- I was at least able to run the tests.
It looks like praw 4+ has been split into two packages, praw and "prawcore", which would be a new additional dependency.
https://github.com/praw-dev/prawcore
I have not tested if rtv works with praw 4+.
I propose to do the following for now-- does this sound like a reasonable course of action?
* Update the praw package to 3.6.2 and remove the unnecessary version requirements, to at least make it install correctly. * Unbundle praw in rtv to use praw 3.6.2. * Package prawcore and update praw to the latest release. If it breaks rtv, I'll either re-bundle praw 3 or work with upstream to support newer praw releases.

--- Comment #8 from Miro Hrončok mhroncok@redhat.com --- Sounds ideal!
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665303
--- Comment #9 from Ben Rosser rosser.bjr@gmail.com --- Great-- I'll prepare a PR for updating praw and submit it either tomorrow or Saturday.
I guess it's probably worth invoking the non-responsive maintainer policy on praw as well...
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665303
--- Comment #10 from Ben Rosser rosser.bjr@gmail.com --- Right, here's a pull request for praw:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-praw/pull-request/2
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665303
--- Comment #11 from Elliott Sales de Andrade quantum.analyst@gmail.com --- So we should be able to move forward with this now?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665303
--- Comment #12 from Ben Rosser rosser.bjr@gmail.com --- Yes, sorry. The Rawhide build was still failing the last time I looked at this (about a week ago)-- I think because even though praw 3.6.2 had been built, there were compose failures. Anyway, it's working now!
Here's a version of rtv with praw unbundled (and also with rtv updated to the latest release).

--- Comment #13 from Elliott Sales de Andrade quantum.analyst@gmail.com --- - You don't provide python3-rtv, so I'm not sure using %python_provide does anything. - Man pages should be globbed as rtv.1* - Why not run tests? And if it's not possible, maybe the test BRs aren't needed either?

--- Comment #15 from Ben Rosser rosser.bjr@gmail.com --- Hey, I'm sorry for the nonresponsiveness here.
I discovered shortly after working on this unbundling praw was much more complicated than I thought. A bunch of the unit tests failed after I tried to move to the system version of praw 3.6.2. I was planning to dig into that when I had some spare time...
...but then upstream announced that they're going to stop developing rtv: https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv/issues/696
There seems to be an active fork, tuir. So I think the right thing to do is close this review request and then maybe-- perhaps when I have a bit more time-- open a new one for tuir. (Of course, anyone interested in this is welcome to do that in the mean time too).
