SRPM URL: https://agave.garden.org/~aaronh/rpm/gnue-common-0.6.9-1.src.rpm
Description: 
GNU Enterprise Common Library for use with the GNUe tools GNUe-Common
provides a set of images and classes that GNUe-Forms, GNUe-Reports,
GNUe-Appserver and GNUe-Designer and others are dependent upon.  It
implements a database-abstraction layer that provides support for most
major databases. A builtin XML-to-Object parser and Object-to-XML
marshaller are used by Forms, Reports, and Designer to save and read
Forms/Report definitions to and from an XML file. It also defines and
implements an RPC abstraction layer that will allow server processes
to define their public methods once and have them available to CORBA,
XML-RPC, SOAP, and DCOM clients.

There are a couple of fixes needed:
- the easy ones:
 --prefix=/usr should be converted to --prefix=%_prefix. 
 the package cannot be noarch since it installs files to %{_libdir}

- the ugly one: the package does not build in mock. I have attached the log of
the failed build.

I've changed the SPEC and SRPM files:

Spec URL: https://agave.garden.org/~aaronh/rpm/gnue-common.spec
SRPM URL: https://agave.garden.org/~aaronh/rpm/gnue-common-0.6.9-1.src.rpm

finI didn't think to use a macro in the %install section for the --prefix
setting.  It is fixed.

I've kept it at noarch by using the python_sitelib macro described at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python

The mock problem appears to be related to find-debuginfo.sh running, when it
shouldn't run since noarch is set.  Wierd.  I've tried applying brute force by
adding %define debug_package %{nil} at the top of the specfile.  I can't get
mock to work in a fedora-devel-i386, but it builds successfully in mock using
fedora-8-i386.

I have modified the spec and source rpm by including a few patches I had forgotten.

Aaron, please increment the release tag each time you modify the spec file and
submit a new rpm for review.

In fedora>=9, a .egg-info is created and it must also be included in the binary
rpm. Your %files section misses that and this leads to
  error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
     /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gnue_common-0.6.9-py2.5.egg-info
which is easy fixable.

The "Require python>2.3" is not an error, but even Fedora 7 provides python 2.5.
Taking into account that rpmbuild adds automatically "python-abi = <version>" as
a requires, I suggest to completely drop this condition.
Some of the files included as doc are marked as executable and therefore they
bring in some rpmlint warnings and unneeded deps:
gnue-common.noarch: W: spurious-executable-perm
/usr/share/doc/gnue-common-0.6.9/pdftable-example.py
gnue-common.noarch: W: doc-file-dependency
/usr/share/doc/gnue-common-0.6.9/pdftable-example.py /usr/bin/env

rpmlint also gives this warnings:
   gnue-common.noarch: W: conffile-without-noreplace-flag
/etc/gnue/sample.connections.conf
   gnue-common.noarch: W: conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/gnue/sample.gnue.conf
Please examine if these files need or not this flag.

And last but not least, could you please instruct me how can I test that the
application works ?

"Application"?  That's like asking someone to test glibc.  Try executing the
sample python code and examples in the GNU Enterprise Developer's Guide at:

http://gnuenterprise.org/tools/common/docs/

Or in the Open Office document intalled at
/usr/share/doc/gnue-common/Developers-Guide.sxw

For extra credit create a GNU Enterprise database in MySQL or PostgreSQL.  I'm
working on packaging other tools of GNU Enterprise that depened on gnue-common.
 Those will be the better test.

I've explained in a specfile comment why the sample configuration files should
have noreplace -- users couldn't really use them for anything important, and
they upstream authors should be able to update them.

I added to the release tag this time:

Spec URL: https://agave.garden.org/~aaronh/rpm/gnue-common.spec

The -2.src.rm you have made available still includes the previous version of the
spec file. The uploaded spec is OK however and using it makes mock happy.

No, a couple of small issues:
The correct license, according to the .py files included in the tar.gz is GPLv2+.
It would be awesome if you could use a single directory for all docs. Now some
of them are under /usr/share/doc/gnue-common while others are in
/usr/share/doc/gnue-common-0.6.9/. Not mandatory, but nicer.
The changelog has a "%config" (second to last line in release 2) which triggers
a rpmlint warning, please replace it with "%%config".

Otherwise everything seems fine, I'll post a full review as soon as I manage to
verify that it works.

License changed, and put the docs under a single directory using a bit of a
hack.     I didn't know you could run rpmlint on SRPM files.  Good to know.

Everything seems OK, I used it for a very simple test program which did actually
work as intended, so the package is APPROVED.

Just for the record: I did not say anything about including the INSTALL file
(which we usually do not ship) only because of the last three lines in it.

Manuel, thanks again for my sponsorship and for reviewing this package.  I'm not
part of the GNU Enterprise project, but your work will likely be seen as a
gracious contribution to the GNU Enterprise project.
