Plus4emu now shipping ROMs in the sources
by Andrea Musuruane
Hi all,
I've noticed that the latest version of plus4emu now ships
copyrighted ROMs in the sources. These ROMs are not installed and the
only place where the user can put them is, as usual, a hidden
directory in his homedir.
I think that we should move plus4emu from free to nonfree because of
this change. But other options can be made too. For example, I could
ask upstream to remove the ROMs from source and wait to package the
next release.
I'd like to hear what you think about.
Bye,
Andrea.

[Bug 83] New: Review request: barry - BlackBerry(tm) Desktop for Linux

AssignedTo: rpmfusion-package-review(a)rpmfusion.org

Description: Barry is a desktop toolset for managing your BlackBerry(tm)
device. (BlackBerry is a registered trademark of Research in Motion Limited.)
I don't think this can be included in Fedora because RIM uses closed source
applications for their phones.
Output from rpmlint:
[Chris@localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint ../RPMS/i386/*
libbarry0.i386: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib/libbarry.so
5 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
I'm ignoring this warning because I believe the purpose of libbarry0 is to
create this shared library for the other applications.
This is my first RPM Fusion package as well as the first set of RPMs I've ever
built. Hence, I also need a sponsor. Thanks.
Chris

Did some bugzilla cleanups
by Thorsten Leemhuis
Hi!
Just fyi, I did some cleanups in bugzilla; if I did something wrong yell
and/or just reopen please.
Some things to note:
- There are a lot of packages awaiting review; see
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=2&hide_resolved=1
for a list. I suppose those packagers that have packages in the review
queue try to get review exchanges organized; maybe via the wiki somehow?
- matthias seems to be the default owner for infrastructure bugs; Xavier
is doing most infr things these days, so that IMHO should be changed;
who has permissions to do that
- while at it: a lot of packages that are listed in owners.list are not
in the package list in bugzilla; how to we get that working?

package review: Is it a must to use system libraries ?
by Agnes Jones
Hi all,
I've been working on review of bsnes [1]. One of the issues raised
before I began was the upstream source includes some libraries, some of
which are already packaged and included in either fedora or rpmfusion.
Since I'm not an experienced packager or reviewer, if there are other
reviewers who believe further work should be done on the "use system
libraries" item, can you please speak up now ?
Cheers,
DaveT

I'm not sure what you mean here, that's how the upstream tarball is called (I'm
aware it uncompresses to a folder of slightly different name. Besides, if the
Source0 URL would be incorrect, the package won't build, would it?

AFAIK, bsnes can use only one locale.cfg at a time, so packaging several at

It was removed because the icon was installed to datadir/pixmaps at the time
upstream was not installing it at all. I pointed out to byuu that datadir/icons
is a place for themed icons and bsnes one should go to datadir/pixmaps, but
that was left without response. Also, packaging guidelines are only saying
about subdirs of datadir/icons.

my opinion on use of included rather than system library for snes_ntsc is
it would be a lot of effort, and the included version calculates the values
differently, so we would need to decide if those changes could get pushed
upstream. Also given byuu's opinion on the zlib that you worked on already,
it would be unlikely to be included upstream.
Julian: I think we are really close here, just a few items above {x and ?} to
either fix or provide reasoning for. Reading back over the review, it seems you
have completed pretty well all requests reviewers have made, beside the "make
it use all system libaries". If there are other reviewers who believe further
work should be done on the "use system libraries" item, can you please speak up
now ?
