Description Andreas Thienemann 2007-04-02 18:29:57 UTC
Spec URL: http://home.bawue.de/~ixs/libident/libident.spec
SRPM URL: http://home.bawue.de/~ixs/libident/libident-0.30-1.src.rpm
Description:
LibIdent is a small C library for interfacing with RFC 1413 
Identification protocol servers, which are used for identifying users. 
LibIdent supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses transparently.

It is meant to be used by daemons to try to authenticate users using the 
Ident protocol. For this to work, users need to have an Ident server 
running on the system from which they are connected.

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2007-04-02 19:36:18 UTC
Good:
+ Naming is ok.
+ Tar ball matches with upstream.
+ License ok.
+ Package contains verbatin copy of the license.
+ rpmlint quite on source rpm.
+ Local build works fine.
+ Rpmlint quite on binary package
ΓΌ Rpmlint quite on debuginfo package

Bad:
- you should create a package called libident which contains a shared library.
Providing only a static library vaiolate the packaging rules.






Comment 2 Andreas Thienemann 2007-04-02 19:45:08 UTC
Well, this might be a bit problematic, as libident has code currently to provide
a shared libary.

Comment 3 Andreas Thienemann 2007-04-02 19:52:05 UTC
Ahh, just to clarify: The problem is not creating a shared library for libident.
This can be done probably with something like gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libident
-o libident.so *.o.

The problem is more that all the tools I've seen which use libident are
expecting this to be a static lib.

So we're in a similar situation as with libnet.

Comment 4 Andreas Thienemann 2007-04-02 20:17:23 UTC
Mhm, Seems like my testcase ngircd works with the shared library as well. Must
have been updated in the last months then.

I uploaded a new spec which created a shared library.

Please take a look.

Comment 5 Jochen Schmitt 2007-04-03 14:25:14 UTC
Good:
+ Local build works fine.

Bad:
- in.libidenttestd seems to be staticly linked agains libident
- Please upload a full source rpm for review.


Comment 6 Andreas Thienemann 2007-04-03 18:29:27 UTC
Mhm. I must have missed the static linking against in.libidenttestd. Fixed.

And please do take a look into the directory
<http://home.bawue.de/~ixs/libident/>. You'll find not only the spec but all
SRPMS and the extracted contents as well...


Comment 7 Jochen Schmitt 2007-04-18 15:29:52 UTC
Bad:
- libident-tools subpackage should contains Requires: %{name} =
%{version}.%{release}

Comment 8 Andreas Thienemann 2007-04-26 08:15:09 UTC
New package with the require at the usual place.

Comment 9 Jochen Schmitt 2007-04-26 15:39:39 UTC
Sorry, But I could not found the suggested chage in the tools subpackage.:q!

Comment 10 Andreas Thienemann 2007-04-26 15:54:53 UTC
Uhm. Please check <http://home.bawue.de/~ixs/libident/libident-0.30-4.src.rpm>
and <http://home.bawue.de/~ixs/libident/libident.spec>.

Both should have the Requires line you asked for.

Comment 11 Jochen Schmitt 2007-05-22 15:19:56 UTC
Good:
+ Local install and uninstall works fine.
+ in.libidentd was dynamicly linked agains libident.so
+ Mockbuild works fine.

*** APPROVED ***
