[colord] Add conflict on icc-profiles-openicc
by ku.b-mal
Hello,
I am the upstream maintainer of a number of colour management packages
including icc-profiles-openicc and new to this list. Due to the
speciality of matters, I jump in here.
Reason for my write:
[colord] Add conflict on icc-profiles-openicc :
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-2013120...
Problem:
The above Conflict tag breaks several packages, which rely on
icc-profiles-openicc, namely oyranos and depending graphics software.
We have no bug reports upstream, or in openSUSE, where I maintain many
colour management packages, nor see I such in Fedora in order to work
upstream to fix anything. In the past I was able to fix several issues
including those arrised by openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo and other
distro packagers.
The Conflict tag causes now uncertaincy to packagers and forces me to
take from my development time on bug reports, finding out how packaging
works in Fedora etc.
Request:
remove the RPM spec Conflict tag immediately as it misuses the GNOME
requirement for colord to block Oyranos from Fedora without fixable
reasoning.
Bug reports:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069672
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1042655)
Background:
colord author Richard Hughes sees himself as a competitor to the elder
Oyranos project, which helped paving the way for linux color management.
Not sure why he continues to repeat FUD[1] all over the place regarding
Oyranos. See the open bug as an example for that. But, as you might
imagine, that feels unfriendly.
kind regards and sorry for the noice
Kai-Uwe

Re: [Fedora-packaging] How to calculate priority for missing tests or %check

If someone says "give me commit rights as I want to make tests build|fix url|fix formatting|improve BRs|etc. in package A you're maintainer" I would be more than happy to welcome him/her as co-maintainer but just showing me such things as something to be improved is not something that I would hurry to even look at as I'm aware of way more problems that affect even runtime behaviour of the package and until these more important things get fixed the rest is smth that the one identifing should come with a fix otherwise it will stay for the bright future when we have endless time and resources.

Indeed I run a small test and from 2574 RPMs on the source DVD there is around
40% of "something different than HTTP 200 OK".
The majority (30%) are responses in the 3XX range and only less than 10% are
actual errors (4XX, 5XX, missing URLs or connection errors).
I'm not sure what purpose does the URL field serve nowadays but it looks like it
can be removed from the spec file (and RPM for that matter)!

I does, but not sure to how many. %check is executed during rpmbuild time right
after %build so limitations apply.

No, of course not.

You can throw up a VM to test this, if you really wanted to do it in
%check. libguestfs does this. However it's not especially easy, and
it's fairly ugly.
For the sorts of tests you are talking about it's much better to test
the final RPM installed in a full OS environment. That is what (I
hope) Taskotron is trying to do. Also what Colin is doing with his
ostree testing effort.
