Summary: Review Request: git-annex - Manage files with git, without checking their contents in

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662259

Summary: Review Request: git-annex - Manage files with git, without checking their contents in Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: mathstuf@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: notting@redhat.com, fedora-package-review@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora

Spec URL: http://benboeckel.net/packaging/git-annex/git-annex.spec SRPM URL: http://benboeckel.net/packaging/git-annex/git-annex-0.11-1.fc14.src.rpm Description: git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, checksumming time, or disk space.

Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git, move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git. And annexed files can co-exist in the same git repository with regularly versioned files, which is convenient for maintaining documents, Makefiles, etc that are associated with annexed files but that benefit from full revision control.

When a file is annexed, its content is moved into a key-value store, and a symlink is made that points to the content. These symlinks are checked into git and versioned like regular files. You can move them around, delete them, and so on. Pushing to another git repository will make git-annex there aware of the annexed file, and it can be used to retrieve its content from the key-value store.

Bug 662259 depends on bug 634037, which changed state.

Bug 634037 Summary: Review Request: ghc-MissingH - Large utility library https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634037

--- Comment #1 from Andrew McNabb amcnabb@mcnabbs.org 2011-01-26 13:40:46 EST --- Here are a few issues from the rpmlint output:

...

git-annex.src: W: invalid-url Source0: git-annex-0.11.tar.bz2

The Source0 needs to be a full URL, not just a filename. I can't seem to find a tarball on the git-annex website. Can you work with upstream to get them to publish a tarball for each new version?

...

git-annex.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/man/man1/git-annex.1.gz

This should be fixed.

...

git-annex-debuginfo.x86_64: E: debuginfo-without-sources

Have you tried to fix this error?

A few other issues:

1) The %description seems a little long. Most packages seem to have one or maybe two brief paragraphs.

2) This is a dumb preference, but I would slightly change the summary to "Manage files with git, without checking in their contents".

3) It looks like there have been a few version updates since the last time the spec file was updated.

4) Have you sent the patches to the Makefile upstream? By the way, it looks like the documentation is correctly installed by the Makefile in a newer version of git-annex.

5) Two of the dependencies are unavailable on Fedora 14. I can't really do anything more on this review until the ghc-pcre-light package is in.

Here are a few issues from the rpmlint output:

...
git-annex.src: W: invalid-url Source0: git-annex-0.11.tar.bz2

The Source0 needs to be a full URL, not just a filename. I can't seem to find a tarball on the git-annex website. Can you work with upstream to get them to publish a tarball for each new version?

I'll contact him about it. It was generated from a tag in the repository (see instructions above the URL: tag).

...

...
git-annex.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/man/man1/git-annex.1.gz

Oops.

...

This should be fixed.

...
git-annex-debuginfo.x86_64: E: debuginfo-without-sources

Have you tried to fix this error?

The -debuginfo package actually needs disabled since Haskell doesn't support it.

...

A few other issues:

The %description seems a little long. Most packages seem to have one or

maybe two brief paragraphs.

Taken from the website for the most part. I'll look at trimming it down.

...

This is a dumb preference, but I would slightly change the summary to

"Manage files with git, without checking in their contents".

Yeah, also taken from the website. Your wording is better. Will appear in the next version.

...

It looks like there have been a few version updates since the last time the

spec file was updated.

Will appear in the next update. (I don't keep all the RR's I have 100% up-to-date, just the ones that have attention since there are sometimes a dozen updates between be initially submitting and getting a reviewer).

...

Have you sent the patches to the Makefile upstream? By the way, it looks

like the documentation is correctly installed by the Makefile in a newer version of git-annex.

They've been sent and applied in some way. I think the author changed around some of them. I'll look at it more closely when I update it.

...

Two of the dependencies are unavailable on Fedora 14. I can't really do

anything more on this review until the ghc-pcre-light package is in.

Hence the Blocks: field above :) . I have a local repository which I build against and has pretty much every package in the review list in it. My server has had issues since a power outage 2 or 3 weeks ago and I still haven't had a chance to look into it.

--- Comment #3 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com 2011-01-28 06:07:24 EST --- As earlier discussed on Fedora haskell-devel list, dropping libraries for now from the toplevel of Haskell-pkg-reviews, so we, the Haskell SIG, can focus more on getting Haskell apps into Fedora.

To get you library back under the tracker please submit a bin or binlib package that depends on this library and make this bug block that package review. It is a good idea to submit full stacks of packages and then to add the toplevel program to the tracker.

I originally started to, but as I got into it, all of the Haskell-specific stuff creeped me out.

That's ok - I was just asking yes/no? :)

Anyway not as many weird macros in non-library Cabal packages. :)

I just note in passing that the Fonts packaging macros also generate %files sections automagically for example. I haven't received any comments so far from the packaging list on the revised Haskell Guidelines.

--- Comment #10 from Wes Hardaker wjhns174@hardakers.net 2011-10-10 10:57:05 EDT --- FYI, thanks for working on this. I just build the package from the src.rpm and it was much easier than using cabal. I tried for a few hours to get cabal to build it like the source asks you to do, but it just wouldn't work. The src.rpm, however, worked nicely.

I think there may be a package missing in the build-requirements list as I think I had to install something to get it to work, but I lost track of what I did time-wise so couldn't tell you which package.

Currently a good version to start with might be 3.20111211. But it still needs hS3 (-> Crypto, hxt (->...)), monad-control (-> base-unicode-symbols), and SHA.

Latest releases have further deps on lifted-base and transformers-base.

Anyway there is some work to be done to get this all ready.

--- Comment #14 from Joey Hess joey@kitenet.net 2012-04-13 12:38:39 EDT --- Hi, I'm the author of git-annex, and appreciate your work on getting it into Fedora, since based on user feedback, this is currently one of the harder Linux distributions for users to install it to.

I'd really like to make this happen. It seems that the main issue is build dependencies. But there are some ways to work around that. git-annex's git repository has several branches that avoid most of the newer build dependencies. For building with ghc older than 7.4, there is the ghc-7.0 branch. For building without S3 (and its long chain of dependencies noted above), there is a no-s3 branch. It's also possible to avoid monad-control (which also avoids lifted-base), although currently the only branch I have that does do is the debian-stable branch. There's also a no-bloom branch omitting another recent build dependency. These all remove some features (and dropping monal-control removes some robustness in one case), but still leave a quite capable program.

I would be quite willing to put together a branch that omits any build dependencies necessary for Fedora, and maintain it for the lifetime of the Fedora release. (Not sure if I can commit to the lifetime of a Red Hat release :) Just get in touch with me.

--- Comment #15 from Ben Boeckel mathstuf@gmail.com 2012-04-13 12:55:55 EDT --- Fewer dependency versions sound good just for getting it into Fedora. I'll see if I can find the time to update to a snapshot with existing deps. We can tack more deps in once they're packaged.

--- Comment #16 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com 2012-04-14 00:09:10 EDT --- Thank you, Joe, for reaching out to us. :-)

We now have lifted-base (and monad-control) in Fedora at least. :)

I think we are gradually getting closer to being able to package the main hackage. Seems now we are still missing packages:

- bloomfilter - hS3 -> Crypto, hxt* - IfElse - SHA

So yes it is probably a good idea initially to package merging the no-S3 branch, since hxt is quite a few packages. Of course it would be nice to have S3 support in Fedora later.

Ben: do you have time to try for that?

Joe: I assume adding an S3 flag to git-annex.cabal is not practical?

--- Comment #17 from Ben Boeckel mathstuf@gmail.com 2012-04-14 00:24:39 EDT --- SHA is needed in the yesod and gitit stacks anyways (though yesod has *lots* to get through yet until SHA is an issue, gitit less so), so that could be bumped up my list. IfElse and bloomfilter look easy. Sunday is probably the earliest I'll get to this.

--- Comment #19 from Joey Hess joey@kitenet.net 2012-04-14 14:33:47 EDT --- An S3 flag in git-annex.cabal was a good idea. That is done in git, so without the S3 library it will auto-disable S3 support now.

Glad to see bloomfilter is getting packaged. Nice thing to have available in general. :)

SHA is fairly core, I could make a branch without it, but it would lose support for encrypting content. If packaging SHA turns out to be a problem, let me know and I'll work something out. IIRC it's a fairly simple library to build.

I could easily spin a branch without IfElse (about a 4 line patch), or it should be trivial to package.

I will be releasing the next git-annex version in 2 days (blocked on the Debian side!) with the automatic S3 disabling or you can use git.
