Need help in fixing Rawtherapee
by Mattia Verga 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi, I've started to work on Rawtherapee [1], which was FTB in rawhide since F24. There are some issues I'd like to discuss how to fix them. - I've upgraded the source to latest svn from Github. From packaging guidelines, when using github for downloading a specific commit, the source url should be: Source0: https://github.com/OWNER/%{name}/archive/%{commit0}.tar.gz#/%{name}-%{short… but such a link will download a source named %{name}-%{commit0}.tar.gz (with full commit in the name instead of shortcommit). Is there an error in guidelines, or am I missing something? - There's a bug open [2] because rawtherapee bundles a font and two libraries. The font is present in the sources, but it's not installed in the system (the file is not packaged). So, is it ok? I don't understand how the guidelines about bundling fonts [3] apply here. About bundling libraries, rawtherapee uses a custom patched version of Klt for building, plus a heavy patched version of dcraw. Dcraw bundling has been discussed before [4] and FPC ticket was closed. In the .spec file I can see a "Provides: bundled(dcraw)". Should I manage Klt bundling like that, with a "Provides" declaration? Thanks Mattia [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/rawtherapee/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1248756 [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts… [4] https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/530

rpmlint dir-or-file-in-var-run error help
by Jonathan Underwood 01 Oct '16

01 Oct '16

Hi, I'm just looking at the rpmlint errors for the xpra package, and one I am stuck on is this: xpra.x86_64: E: dir-or-file-in-var-run /var/run/xpra The package drops a file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d which causes the creation of /var/run/xpra when needed. The package has this in %{files}: %ghost %dir %{_localstatedir}/run/xpra which seems reasonable to me. So I don't really understand the rpmlint error. I picked two packages at random, fail2ban and systemd, which also install directories under /var/run and have those directories listed as %ghost. So, is the rpmlint error incorrect? Or, should these guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d also apply to /var/run? In which case, many packages need fixing to use %verify, I think. Cheers, Jonathan
