Github URL clarification
by Michael Cronenworth 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

FPC, Many packages are using the Github release URL. IE: github.com/foo/%{name}/archive/v%{version}.tar.gz http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cbootimage.git/tree/cbootimage.spec http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/git-extras.git/tree/git-extras.spec http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/jacoco.git/tree/jacoco.spec http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libepoxy.git/tree/libepoxy.spec Some are using a slightly different, but similar, URL. IE: github.com/foo/%{name}/archive/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/json-c.git/tree/json-c.spec http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/livecd-tools.git/tree/livecd-tools.spec http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-meh.git/tree/python-meh.spec The list of packages using these URLs extends beyond these 7 packages. Can the Github URL wiki text be clarified to either include or exclude the release tarball provided by Github? Thank you, Michael

github URLs?
by Dave Johansen 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

What's the right way to handle github URLs? Currently, I'm working on the spec file for breathe and the URL is https://github.com/michaeljones/breathe/archive/v4.0.0.tar.gz and the actual file that's downloaded is breathe-4.0.0.tar.gz. How do I make that play nice in the spec file and with rpmlint? Thanks, Dave

Packages without a dist tag
by Martin Krizek 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

According to [1], using a dist tag is mandatory. However there are quite a few packages [2] where a dist tag is missing. I am curious if those are bugs and should be filed. Or are there any exceptions that I am missing? The reason why I am asking is that we'd like to know if Taskotron can count on NVR's to have a dist tag in them. Thanks!

DRAFT: SourceURL addition/clarification - Git Hosting Services
by Gerald B. Cox 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

This has also been discussed in a separate thread, but I thought I would place it in a separate post in case people didn't notice. I'm proposing the SourceURL Guideline be changed as follows: 1. Change GitHub section to reflect Git Hosting Services, so as not to tie the guideline to a specific service 2. Include information on how to handle Git Submodules 3. Clarify when commit hash vs. Git Tag should be used Here is the Draft document <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Gbcox/PackagingDrafts/SourceURL>. Here is the diff of the draft to the original version <https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AGbcox%2FPackagingDrafts%…> . Thank you in advance for your comments.

build failure - Failed to create the file ./: Is a directory
by Development discussions related to Fedora 24 Jun '15

I haven't seen this one before. I'm fixing up my first mistake which was that adding the new source file to look-aside dropped the audacity-manual zip entry from sources. I've re-added that, but still getting build failure on fedpkg build: Any ideas ? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=10198630 https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8630/10198630/root.log === DEBUG buildroot.py:322: _nuke_rpm_db: removing /var/lib/mock/f23-build-3572318-495695/root/var/lib/rpm/__db.001 DEBUG util.py:509: child environment: None DEBUG util.py:442: Executing command: ['fedpkg', 'sources'] with env {'LANG': 'en_US.UTF-8', 'TERM': 'vt100', 'SHELL': '/bin/bash', 'PROMPT_COMMAND': 'printf "\x1b]0;<mock-chroot>\x07<mock-chroot>"', 'PATH': '/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin', 'HOME': '/builddir', 'HOSTNAME': 'mock'} and shell False DEBUG util.py:252: Unsharing.

Issue with EPEL testing repo?
by Dave Johansen 20 Jun '15

20 Jun '15

Is there something wrong with the EPEL testing repo? I submitted a new package several weeks ago and it took several days to make it into the repo but now that it's there it still says it's not available when I try to install it with yum. Here's the link to the update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2015-6709/python-OWSLib… Any ideas? Thanks, Dave
