spec-cleaner

spec-cleaner is a tool that cleans the given RPM spec file according to the style guide and returns the result.

It's used for openSUSE, where it's planned to be a replacement for osc service localrun format_spec_file and it is intended to provide the same or better features in order to be able to unify all the spec files in OBS.

Installation and usage

Installation

The latest version is available on PyPI. It can be installed by running pip install spec_cleaner.

spec-cleaner is also provided as an RPM package for openSUSE Tumbleweed (openSUSE:Factory) and all maintained openSUSE Leap codestreams. When a new version of spec-cleaner is released, updates are submitted for all maintained codestreams.

Usage

Simply run spec-cleaner -i <specfile> to clean your specfile up.

License conversions come from SPDX data plus SUSE additions; the full tag list is in SPDX-LICENSES.md.

Tests

Running the tests

spec-cleaner provides quite an extensive testsuite. You can run these tests locally directly via pytest.

pytest

Just install python3-pytest, python3-pytest-cov and python3-pytest-sugar (for a nice progress bar) and then run all tests via:

pytest

Contributing

You are more than welcome to contribute to this project. If you are not sure about your changes, feel free to create an issue where you can discuss it before the implementation.

Contribution Guidelines

When changing anything in the code, make sure that you don't forget to:

• Follow pep8.
• Install pre-commit framework and run pre-commit install to install pre-commit into your git hooks.
• Add proper comments and docstrings (follow pep257 and Google Python Style Guide for docstrings and comments)
• Add tests (mainly if you implement a new feature).
• Add mypy support for the new code.
• Run and pass all tests, ruff and mypy checks.

See below for more details.

pre-commit

spec-cleaner project adopted pre-commit framework for managing and maintaining pre-commit hooks. After you clone the spec-cleaner repository, please install pre-commit framework (pip install pre-commit) and run pre-commit install to install pre-commit into your git hooks. Then pre-commit will run automatically on git commit and it will check your contribution with ruff and mypy.

Please note that similar checks run in CI when you submit a PR and it won't pass code review without passing these checks.

mypy

Optional static type checker support was implemented for the most important parts of the code. If you want to run it on your own, just install python3-mypy and run

 mypy spec_cleaner

Ruff

The code of spec-cleaner is formatted with Ruff. We use single quotes and --line-length 100. Ruff runs automatically in the pre-commit hook and is enforced in CI.

Adding new tests

When a new feature is added to spec-cleaner then a test for this piece of code must be added. See how to write tests for spec-cleaner.
