Summary: Review Request: Scilab - Numerical Analysis toolkit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472639 Summary: Review Request: Scilab - Numerical Analysis toolkit Product: Fedora Version: 9 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: mycae@xxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Depends on: 439630,464781,468797 Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://dhd.selfip.com/427e/scilab.spec SRPM URL: http://dhd.selfip.com/427e/scilab-5.0.1-1.fc9.src.rpm Description: Scilab is a scientific software package for numerical computations providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications. rpmlint -iv output is empty. Notes: *Requires Javahelp2, which is only available in F10 (I believe). I cheated and used an RPM available here: (http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/i386/javahelp2-2.0.05-5.fc10.noarch.html). Package review is bug 439263. *In-program help has not been built, we probably want this. *The makefile that is included seems to call gcc & gfortran for the install target to perform some final linking operations -- this seems very very odd. What to do? Do I need to make gcc and gfortran "Requires:" of scilab? It also really slows down the %install target of rpmbuild. *I get a *lot* of "file listed twice" warnings from rpmbuild -- is * recursive in the %files section? Notes to other packagers/reviewers: *Scilab is fairly big. It takes a while to complete a build -- ~1hr on a 2.1 GHz machine. If you plan to rebuild more than once or twice, use ccache to speed it up a little (not all the time is spent on C/C++ compiling though). *I am having problems getting PVM to link correctly, as such I have disabled it -- if anyone wants to have a shot at patching this, please do. I have left the patches that fix a few problems with PVM in there for anyone looking at it. Probably just needs someone to correct the PVM_LIB value. *Need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find JVM (libjava, libjvm, libhpi) before running scilab-bin. It can't find it for some reason *I have not tested parallel building to see if it works, how do we test this? Finally my upload bandwidth is not terrible, but it isn't massive, so patience when getting the SRPM :) -- 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
