Description:
The ROOT system provides a set of object oriented frameworks with all
the functionality needed to handle and analyse large amounts of data
in a very efficient way. Having the data defined as a set of objects,
specialised storage methods are used to get direct access to the
separate attributes of the selected objects, without having to touch
the bulk of the data. Included are histogramming methods in 1, 2 and 3
dimensions, curve fitting, function evaluation, minimisation, graphics
and visualisation classes to allow the easy setup of an analysis
system that can query and process the data interactively or in batch
mode.

Thanks to the built in CINT C++ interpreter the command language, the
scripting, or macro, language and the programming language are all
C++. The interpreter allows for fast prototyping of the macros since
it removes the time consuming compile/link cycle. It also provides a
good environment to learn C++. If more performance is needed the
interactively developed macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler.

The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its
databases in parallel on MPP machines or on clusters of workstations
or high-end PCs. ROOT is an open system that can be dynamically
extended by linking external libraries. This makes ROOT a premier
platform on which to build data acquisition, simulation and data
analysis systems.

Koji scratch build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1839820

The ppc64 build fails with a segfault - so ExcludeArch is used

rpmlint output:

Root uses the CINT runtime C++ interpreter and therefore needs access to its
classed header files at runtime, so the headers are not devel files, even
though rpmlint complains about them.

Root also uses short snippets of C++ code in its configuration files that is
parsed by the CINT interpreter to do its plugin initialisation. The presence of
these C++ source files in the packages is not a packaging error, but rpmlint
complains about these too.

All the documentation is in the doc package so most of the other rpms complain
about missing documentation.

Filtering out the "no-documentation" and "devel-file-in-non-devel-package"
warnings, the following rpmlint output remains:

[ell...@ellert ~]$ rpmlint rpmbuild/RPMS/*/*root-* | sed -e /no-documentation/d
-e /devel-file-in-non-devel-package/d
root-doc.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir
/usr/share/doc/root-5.24.00b/test/RootShower/.rootshowerrc
root-doc.noarch: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/root-5.24.00b/test/tstring.cxx
root-core.x86_64: E: rpath-in-buildconfig /usr/bin/root-config lines ['42']
root-proofd.x86_64: W: incoherent-init-script-name proofd ('root-proofd',
'root-proofdd')
root-rootd.x86_64: W: incoherent-init-script-name rootd ('root-rootd',
'root-rootdd')
79 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 2542 warnings.

The rpath-in-buildconfig error is just a simple string match picked up by
rpmlint. Root was configured with --disable-rpath, and the root-config script
generated by configure does the right thing:

[ell...@ellert root]$ root-config --has-rpath
no

[ell...@ellert root]$ root-config --libs
-L/usr/lib64/root -lCore -lCint -lRIO -lNet -lHist -lGraf -lGraf3d -lGpad
-lTree -lRint -lPostscript -lMatrix -lPhysics -lMathCore -lThread -lz -pthread
-lm -ldl -rdynamic

The string with the rpath is present in the root-config file, but is only
printed out when root's configure was run without --disable-rpath. So there is
no need to patch the script.
