| Subject: | CPAN2Pkg happily uploads packages with "no description found" + Need to manually review the .spec before uploading |
CPAN2Pkg happily uploades packages with no descriptions or summaries
found, while it should generate an error in that case. Furthermore, it
should have an option for the packager to review the .spec before
uploading it and confirm that the .spec is OK.

<rindolf> Yay! I'm the number one submitter for the time frame -

<malo> neoclust: yes :-)
<neoclust> rindolf: yes but doing good packages would be better than
doing a lot
<neoclust> malo: not really nice _ in names
<neoclust> malo: can't we change it to use - instead ?
<malo> neoclust: true, but policy is not to introduce _ in names, but
when they are from upstream it's acceptable ...

<neoclust> malo: ah ok
<-- remmy_ has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
<malo> neoclust: I'd prefer not changing
<neoclust> rindolf: i am not kidding
<neoclust> rindolf: doing packages with descriptions is not really
acceptable
<malo> neoclust: we should have a rpmlint activated for that
<neoclust> malo: in fact it has one description :)
<neoclust> %description:
<neoclust> no description found
<neoclust> \o/
<malo> rindolf: maybe the cpan2pkg should be patched to raise an error
if there is no description
<malo> rindolf: or maybe later in the tool chain you use
<neoclust> malo: no maybe packager should be more pointless on what they do
<rindolf> neoclust: more pointless?
<rindolf> neoclust: pointlessness is not a virtue.
<malo> neoclust: like importing package that already exist?? :-P
<malo> rindolf: neoclust means alert I guess
<neoclust> rindolf: i mean
<neoclust> rindolf: i mean
<neoclust> rindolf: i mean finical
<rindolf> neoclust: finical?
<neoclust> malo: yes that suck :)
<rindolf> What is finical?
<malo> rindolf: neoclust is making up words now :-)
<neoclust> rindolf: be more serious in somple words
<rindolf> neoclust: OK.
--> maat|lin (~maat@unaffiliated/maat) has joined #mageia-dev
<neoclust> rindolf: be more serious in simple words
<malo> neoclust: btw your ocaml-js had completely wrong rpm groups as well
<rindolf> neoclust: well, I was using CPAN2Pkg - it didn't ask me before
uploading the packages with the "no description" descs. Maybe it should.
<neoclust> malo: i imported the one from mandriva my biggest error :)
<neoclust> malo: i will add obsoletes in the one with _
<neoclust> rindolf: you NEED to read your spec file before uploading
<neoclust> you MUST read it
<rindolf> neoclust: blame jq.
<malo> neoclust: fmonnier was ocaml maintainer in Mandriva and is now
working with me on the ocaml packages in Mageia
<malo> neoclust: I don't know who manages the ocaml stack in Mandriva
now ...
<neoclust> rindolf: jq ?
<neoclust> rindolf: why ?
<rindolf> neoclust: he is the CPAN2Pkg maintainer.
<neoclust> rindolf: YOU upload it badly and this should someone else fault ?
<rindolf> neoclust: cpan2pkg uploaded it for me.
<rindolf> neoclust: it doesn't let me review the .spec.
<neoclust> rindolf: so don't use this tool that's all or patch it to add
a --noupload option
<rindolf> neoclust: OK.
<rindolf> neoclust: maybe we should just fix this tool.
<neoclust> rindolf: or use a user makerpm that doesn't have commit right
on our svn so it won't upload and push
<neoclust> rindolf: "or patch it to add a --noupload option
<neoclust> rindolf: "or patch it to add a --noupload option"
<neoclust> rindolf: this is what i told no ?
<rindolf> neoclust: or let us review the .spec before it uploads.
<rindolf> neoclust: OK, I'll file a bug report.
