Hi
I'll answer in more detail since I have a little more time now
2) Additionally, I wasn't able to figure out why I have to set both
"%gobaseipath" and "%provider_prefix".
That's one of the changes Jan made I don't understand either. It's looks
like an attempt to reintroduce old Go packaging conventions, but as they
overlap with the new ones (but are not sufficient to replace them), no
good can come out of it.
3) The %gosource macro doesn't work correctly (at least for github
sources). The "/archive/" part between the "import path" and
"%{commit}" or "%{version}" is missing as far as I can see.
The original code is in redhat-rpm-config in devel only, Jan tried to
rewrite it so it works on stable too, and the result is what you saw. I
think the simplest solution is just to revert this part of the rewrite
and ask the redhat-rpm-config maintainers to push the original working
code to stable redhat-rpm-config (they've already indicated they will
push it to stable as soon as we give them the green light, so the whole
rewrite thing to avoid doing what was already planed is a
misunderstanding)
4) The downloaded tarball has potentially ambiguous names, for example
one of my golang packages (github.com/AudriusButkevicius/cli [1])
produces a "cli-%{shortcommit}" or "cli-%{version}.tar.gz" tarball
when using %gosource, which is why I manually changed the link to
AudriusButkevicius-cli-*.tar.gz back when I generated the .spec file
with gofed.
But you can't do that. The URL in the spec file is supposed to be
auditable. Cut and pasting the url in any download tool should download
the expected archive with the expected filename without any manual
fixing. Changing the archive name in the end of a github URL still
produces the file name you do not like in Firefox for example, so you
have to live with this filename.
It is unfortunate that the archive naming conventions chosen by github
and most of its competitors are so ambiguous, but we can not change them
at Fedora level. It makes setting
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name}
in .rpmmacros almost mandatory when working with such hosting services.
5) I couldn't figure out how to correctly handle the "post-release
snapshot" case, where both "Version" and "%commit" have to be set. The
macros just generated a Release tag like for packaging a released
version, ignoring the "commit" tag completely.
That's one of the rewrite simplifications that does not work out in
practice.
6) When I finally got the macros right enough for %prep, %build, and
%install to proceed, the build failed due to missing debuginfo files
This part is simple, just do not include a %build section if you're not
building anything.
(and warnings about duplicate files)
This looks like a rewrite bug, I never had this with the original code I
submitted :(
The contents of the .spec file at the point where I gave up trying to
get it to build successfully are available via this gist link:
https://gist.github.com/decathorpe/366daeb50e889fcd9153eedb1b761804
Thank you for trying I hope we can make all this better soon.
I'll notify the list as soon as I've assembled a new PR that integrates
my original code with the improvements Jan wrote in something that works
for me, please retest it then and report if it works for you. Unless the
redhat-rpm-config bit can move quickly it will probably require testing
converted packages in a fedora-devel buildroot, I hope that's ok with
you
