Summary: Review Request: apron - Abstract numerical domain library https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498604 Summary: Review Request: apron - Abstract numerical domain library Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: amdunn@xxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://www.openproofs.org/packages/apron/apron.spec SRPM URL: http://www.openproofs.org/packages/apron/apron-0.9.10_pr-1.fc10.src.rpm Description: APRON is a library of functions that allows the definition and analysis of abstract numerical domains. APRON allows for different types of numerical coefficients, both arbitrary precision floating-point and rational, and different types of domain structures like intervals and polyhedra. It allows for variable assignments and constraints involving domains, and operations on these variables like comparisons, existential quantification, substitution, meet and join. I have done the following with respect to checking the packaging guidelines: rpmlint produces: apron.i386: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib/libap_pkgrid.a (... many more like this about static libs...) ocaml-apron.i386: W: no-documentation ocaml-apron.i386: W: unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/bin/aprontop ocaml-apron.i386: W: ocaml-mixed-executable /usr/bin/aprontop ocaml-apron.i386: W: unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/bin/ppltop ocaml-apron.i386: W: ocaml-mixed-executable /usr/bin/ppltop ocaml-apron.i386: W: unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/bin/apronppltop ocaml-apron.i386: W: ocaml-mixed-executable /usr/bin/apronppltop 4 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 49 warnings. The first category of warnings are all about inclusion of libraries in the main package. Ostensibly, the whole purpose of the apron package is these libraries, so I was not sure of whether these belong in -devel. Furthermore, these libraries are all static. Ideally, this would not be the case, and I have mentioned to upstream aspects of their build procedure that complicate packaging, and intend to continue to move them toward better practices for packaging compatibility (eg: shared libraries, using standard "configure, make, make install" process). Packaging already requires an extensive set of changes to their makefiles to allow for configuration at locations as specified by RPM parameters (which was included in the form of a patch). If there are more things I should be doing in the short term for the static libraries (eg: moving them all into -devel, creating a -static or a virtual package -static via "provides") or if this static library creation is a problem for packaging this overall, let me know. The second set of warnings are a standard set of warnings for OCaml bytecode binaries - I will tell upstream to try not to "-custom" for future releases (which goes hand-in-hand with switching to shared libraries). Note that the version name is due to the fact that this is a "pre-release" of version 0.9.10 in the sense that 0.9.10 will soon be released and this was taken from the SVN repository as "most of the way there". (It incorporates the changes that are necessary for me to next package Frama-C.) I also verified that the package builds in koji for dist-(f9 to f12) (eg: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1331353). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
