Fonts packaging policy rewrite proposal
by Nicolas Mailhot 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

Hi, A fonts packaging policy rewrite proposal has been pushed to FPC today: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/934 It should be clearer, more opinionated, and take into account: – updates of The OpenType standard – variable fonts – web fonts – upstream depreciation of non OpenType formats: final stages of the Harfbuzz consolidation decided at the 2006 Text Layout summit https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/TextLayout/ – appstream & fonts – weak dependencies – and probably more I forget here It is based on the new fonts-rpm-macros project for automation: This project builds on tooling enhancements in redhat-rpm-config and rpm itself, done during the past two years for the Forge and Go sets of packaging macros. It started 2 years ago as a fork of fontpackages, which is the core of our current fonts packaging guidelines. It will require putting the fonts-srpm-macros package in the default build root, like is done for other domain-specific packaging macro sets. Major additions: – better documentation (clearer and more complete) – better automation (less packager hassle for better and more complete results) Major removals: – tools and scripts – fixing metadata with ttname Mostly because no one seems willing to maintain those scripts, or port ttname to python 3. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/fonts-rpm-macros/builds/ showcases the new policy on 62 real-world source packages, generating 139 installation packages. Some of those are badly delayed updates to Fedora packages, others are brand-new packages ready for Fedora inclusion. They include major font packages such as Stix, DejaVu, Droid, IBM Plex. Existing Fedora packages will continue to build, the old fontpackages macros are grandfathered in fonts-rpm-macros for now. They will be removed in a few years to give packagers time to apply the new guidelines. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot

Replace a symlink to a directory with a directory
by Miro Hrončok 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Hello. I was hit by a infamous "replace a symlink to a directory with a directory" problem in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1787079 /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment This was a symbolic link, but now it is a directory. The error is: Error: Transaction test error: file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment/min/locales.js from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-2.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package js-moment-2.18.1-6.fc30.noarch file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment/min/moment-with-locales.js from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-2.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package js-moment-2.18.1-6.fc30.noarch file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment/moment.js from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-2.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package js-moment-2.18.1-6.fc30.noarch file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-2.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package python3-notebook-6.0.2-1.fc32.noarch When I add: $ rpm -q --scripts -p python3-notebook-6.0.2-3.fc32.noarch.rpm pretrans scriptlet (using <lua>): path = "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment" st = posix.stat(path) if st and st.type == "link" then os.remove(path) end Code: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-notebook/pull-request/17 I still get: Error: Transaction test error: file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment/min/locales.js from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-3.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package js-moment-2.18.1-6.fc30.noarch file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment/min/moment-with-locales.js from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-3.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package js-moment-2.18.1-6.fc30.noarch file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment/moment.js from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-3.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package js-moment-2.18.1-6.fc30.noarch What am I doing wrong? Note that I have tried to add this workaround instead: mv moment moment.bundled ln -vfs moment.bundled moment But that clears the update path from 6.0.2-1, but breaks it from 6.0.2-2. Error: Transaction test error: file /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/notebook/static/components/moment from install of python3-notebook-6.0.2-3.fc32.noarch conflicts with file from package python3-notebook-6.0.2-2.fc32.noarch And I would need to add the other (uglier) scriptlet to replace a directory with a symbolic link :( -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Request for feedback: %pycached macro for %files section
by Miro Hrončok 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hello, we are considering to add a %pycached macro to be used in the %files section: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-rpm-macros/pull-request/37 We'd like to receive feedback. We plan to add it to rawhide and backport it to all Fedoras + EPEL7+. Usage: %files ... %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/foo.py This will list: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/foo.py /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/__pycache__/foo.cpython-38{,.opt-?}.pyc Assuming the Python 3 version is 3.8. The bytecode files are globbed, their presence is not checked. This will fail: %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/foo error: %pycached can only be used with paths explicitly ending with .py And so will any of this: %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/* %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/foo.* %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/foo.p? %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/foo.?y %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/foo.?? But this will work: %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/foo*.py And it will generate the following globs: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/foo*.py /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/__pycache__/foo*.cpython-38{,.opt-?}.pyc When used with paths that include Python 3 version, it globs with the version: %pycached /opt/python3.10/foo.py Generates: /opt/python3.10/foo.py /opt/python3.10/__pycache__/foo.cpython-310{,.opt-?}.pyc While paths without version have less strict globs: %pycached /custom/foo.py /custom/foo.py /custom/__pycache__/foo.cpython-3*{,.opt-?}.pyc This will generate a warning in RPM build: warning: File listed twice: /custom/__pycache__/foo.cpython-38.opt-1.pyc However it ensures the optimized bytecode is there. -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Removing %py[23]?_(install|build)_egg macros
by Miro Hrončok 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Hello, I'd like to remove the following macros from rawhide: %py_build_egg %py2_build_egg %py3_build_egg %py_install_egg %py2_install_egg %py3_install_egg Nothing in Fedora uses them. I would also remove this page: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python_Eggs/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Eggs To my best knowledge, there are no packaged eggs in Fedora, and Python upstream has moved away from eggs long time ago. I'd like to focus on packaging wheels instead, via https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pyproject-rpm-macros Thoughts? -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Tricky Python package review request
by Richard W.M. Jones 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773467 In particular: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773467#c6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773467#c7 Notice that the package is a CI system for virtual machines, and therefore it has to deal with older VMs that might have Python 2. Therefore some of her comments regarding Python 2 shouldn't be immediately dismissed. However this is still a helluva package to review so any comment from a Python expert would be welcome, especially around shebangs, and the whole business of compiling C/C++ code at runtime. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.
