Description: Star Traders, a simple game of interstellar trading
Home page: http://www.zap.org.au/software/trader/
Star Traders is a simple game of interstellar trading, where the objective
is to create companies, buy and sell shares, borrow and repay money, in
order to become the wealthiest player (the winner).
---
I originally wrote Star Traders for the CP/M-80 operating system, back in 1990.
As an exercise in pure nostalgia, I have rewritten it for modern Linux/POSIX
systems and am packaging it for a number of distributions. The game has even
been translated into a number of languages, including Russian, French, German,
Finnish and Croatian!
I would like Fedora to include this simple text-console game as part of its
distribution.

You used "haven-gtkgui" as the subpackage for the GUI application, but most
Fedora packages use subpackages like "haven-gtk". Consider changing it to be
consistent with existing packages.
You call the "-full" subpackage the "Basic version" in the summary. I think
you got that backwards. ;-)
Also, consider briefly articulating the difference between the full and basic
versions in the %description, to assist users in deciding which one to install.
(See "yum info vim-minimal vim-enhanced" for an example.)

One More Thing...unless the GUI is guaranteed to work with any version of the
software always and forever, you probably want to version that dependency,
e.g.:
Requires: haven = %{version}-%{release}

Some comments:
1) BuildRoot tag is no longer required
2) Removing %{buildroot} in the %install section is no longer required
3) %clean section no longer required
4) defattr in %files section is no longer required

No, I'm no reviewer. Still, I have some remarks and questions:
The upstream version is 0.0.2, whereas the specfile's version is 0_0_2,
indirectly set using a macro. Basically, the Version: tag should reflect
the upstream version i. e. "Version: 0.0.2". Note that from that point
an implicit %{version} macro is defined, which you can use to derive
0_0_2 which is used in many places.
The "%global _configure ../../configure" macro is not used and can be removed.
The %{__mkdir_p} type of macros are not used in Fedora, plain 'mkdir -p' is
fine
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#macros
The source seems to be GPLv3 or later i. e., "License: GPLv3+" ?
Backup software is sensitive... Maybe you should enable PIE? See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE
Why have you called the desktop file ghaven.desktop? The normal convention
is to use the package name i. e., haven.desktop or haven-gtk.desktop? The
same question applies to the icons.
In the %files section, you have entries like %{_mandir}/man1/haven.1.gz.
These are better written %{_mandir}/man1/*, partly for simplicity, partly
because the .gz suffix might change in the future.
Since the %check target is empty, you might as well remove it.
You have a configure-without-libdir-spec warning. Add --libdir=%{_libdir} to
the configure calls so that configure knows where to install (lib/lib64).
You have an empty-debuginfo-package rpmlint warning. This might be because of
the install-strip targets used, if they indeed strip the code. Basically,
you should not strip the code but instead build it with debugging enabled.
rpmbuild strips it while postprocessing, using the debuginfo in the debug
package.
Hope this helps,
--a

Non-trivial to review because a few more iterations will be needed, it seems.
> The upstream version is 0.0.2, whereas the specfile's version is 0_0_2,
> indirectly set using a macro.
Not true. Let's take a look:
| %global src_verstr 0.0.2
| %global rpm_verstr %(echo %src_verstr | sed -e 's/-/_/g')
|
| Version: %rpm_verstr
It would substitute '-' with '_', but currently there is no '-' in "0.0.2".
This has been taken over from the spec included in the tarball.
It's dubious for a few reasons.
If the upstream version string ever contained a '-', the entire version would
need to be mapped into Fedora's versioning schemes. (For example: 0.0.2-beta1
=> apply Fedora's pre-release versioning scheme, which is *not* 0.0.2_beta1.)
In general, it can be beneficial to do
%global tar_ver 0.0.2
Version: 0.0.2
...
if %tar_ver frequently contains stuff like "-alphaX", "-rcX", which need to be
moved into the %release value. Then one can use the different %tar_ver and
%version in other places of the spec file.
What shouldn't be done is something close to
%global version 0.0.2
Version: %version
because the "Version" tag already defines %version, and it makes no sense to
redefine it.
An example from the spec that can lead to problems:
> Requires: %{name} = %{src_verstr}-%{release}
Here you should use %version instead of %src_verstr, or else you could not
split wisely between RPM-compatible and Fedora-compatible version values and
upstream version values.
Btw, the following applies, too:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package
But why do the subpackages depend on the "haven" package? Is it for files in
that package? A comment in the spec should explain the dependency.
> Requires(post): /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
> Requires(postun): /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache
That's not Fedora's way to add such dependencies:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache
> The "%global _configure ../../configure" macro is not used and can
> be removed.
It _is_ used to alter the %configure macro.
> You have a configure-without-libdir-spec warning. Add --libdir=%{_libdir}
rpmlint false positive, it seems.
> %description
> Haven backup system.
>
> Next Generation Backup System, from desktop personal backup to
> Enterprise Disaster Recovery.
This description is somewhat strange. No full sentences and weird usage of
uppercase characters. Why not
"Haven aims at becoming a next generation backup system, from desktop personal
backup to enterprise-class disaster recovery."
> %install
...
> mv "icons" "%{buildroot}/%{_datadir}/"
Caution! Please don't break --short-circuit installs. Copy or install files
from within the build dir, don't move them.

Alec, Michael,
thank you for your comments.
I will analyse your suggestions (and discuss some of them with upstream) and
then I'll come back with a new version of the package.
--- Additional comment from tibbs(a)math.uh.edu on 2012-07-03 22:35:15 EDT ---
So, over three months later, was there ever any progress here?
--- Additional comment from dbenini(a)redhat.com on 2012-07-08 17:39:07 EDT ---
Sorry for the long delay,
I've made the following changes to the spec file and re-packaged the
application:
- removed macro forms of system executables, i.e. %{__mkdir_p} macros
- changed license from GPLv3 to GPLv3+
- enabled PIE
- replaced .gz man files suffix with .* in %files section
- removed %check target since it was empty
- replaced "install-strip" make rule with plain "install"
- removed %src_verstr and %rpm_verstr definition to avoid confusion.
%src_verstr will be reintroduced if necessary, but at the moment only %version
is used
- removed subpackages dependency from the "haven" (base) package including
licence texts in each subpackage
- removed /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache requirement
- changed description
- files are now copied, not moved, from within the build dir

When I wanted to take another look at it, it failed to build for Fedora 17 due
to the header changes in glib2 ("Only <glib.h> can be included directly.").
--- Additional comment from tibbs(a)math.uh.edu on 2012-10-01 11:38:13 EDT ---
Indeed, fails to build for me in rawhide as well.

Hi all,
Unfortunately my previous Bugzilla account has been disabled and I'm still
trying to figure out how to move this package review to my new account.
Anyway, I fixed the Fedora 17+ build issue:

Since mere mortals cannot change the "Reporter" field in bugzilla, one way to
transfer the ticket to you would be to clone it,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?cloned_bug_id=768894
and then continue there.
