Summary: Review Request: Scilab - Numerical Analysis toolkit
Product: Fedora
Version: 9
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Component: Package Review

Depends on: 439630,464781,468797
Estimated Hours: 0.0
Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: http://dhd.selfip.com/427e/scilab.spec
SRPM URL: http://dhd.selfip.com/427e/scilab-5.0.1-1.fc9.src.rpm
Description: Scilab is a scientific software package for numerical computations
providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific
applications.
rpmlint -iv output is empty.
Notes:
*Requires Javahelp2, which is only available in F10 (I believe). I cheated and
used an RPM available here:
(http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/i386/javahelp2-2.0.05-5.fc10.no...).
Package review is bug 439263.
*In-program help has not been built, we probably want this.
*The makefile that is included seems to call gcc & gfortran for the install
target to perform some final linking operations -- this seems very very odd.
What to do? Do I need to make gcc and gfortran "Requires:" of scilab? It also
really slows down the %install target of rpmbuild.
*I get a *lot* of "file listed twice" warnings from rpmbuild -- is * recursive
in the %files section?
Notes to other packagers/reviewers:
*Scilab is fairly big. It takes a while to complete a build -- ~1hr on a 2.1
GHz machine. If you plan to rebuild more than once or twice, use ccache to
speed it up a little (not all the time is spent on C/C++ compiling though).
*I am having problems getting PVM to link correctly, as such I have disabled it
-- if anyone wants to have a shot at patching this, please do. I have left the
patches that fix a few problems with PVM in there for anyone looking at it.
Probably just needs someone to correct the PVM_LIB value.
*Need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find JVM (libjava, libjvm, libhpi) before
running scilab-bin. It can't find it for some reason
*I have not tested parallel building to see if it works, how do we test this?
Finally my upload bandwidth is not terrible, but it isn't massive, so patience
when getting the SRPM :)

Summary: Review Request: xdvik - An X viewer for DVI files
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Component: Package Review
AssignedTo: nobody(a)fedoraproject.org
ReportedBy: jonathan.underwood(a)gmail.com
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fedora-package-review@redhat.com,notting(a)redhat.com
Spec URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/xdvik.spec
SRPM URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/xdvik-22.84.13-1.fc8.src.rpm
Description: Xdvik, the kpathsea version of xdvi, is a previewer for DVI files
produced e.g. by the TeX or troff typesetting systems.
Some background: Jindrich Novy's monumental and impressive texlive packaging effort includes xdvik since it is part of the TeXLive 2007 release. However, TeXLive isn't the upstream for xdvik, and Patrice Dumas posted a request on fedora-devel asking for people to volunteer standalone packages for components of texlive which have their own upstream. xdvik is such a package.
This package builds on F8, but still needs a fair bit of work, and is not yet review ready. However, I wanted to get it out in the open early to get feedback.
What I have done:
* Sun Jan 6 2008 Jonathan G. Underwood <jonathan.underwood(a)gmail.com> - 22.84.13-1
- Initial package based on the texlive.spec by Jindrich Novy
- Updated to latest upstream xdvik and Japanese xdvik
- Reviewed all patches relating to xdvi in texlive.spec and cherry picked
those that are still needed
- Reworked the patch to allow building of xdvik and pxdvik
What still needs to be done:
Currently this builds against the bundled kpathsea library sources in
the tarball. We should be building against the kpathsea(-devel) packages
instead. Lots of missing Requires and BuildRequires. Needs building in Mock
for devel and rpmlint checking. And testing lots.
