SRPM URL: ftp://ftp.nohats.ca/libfaketime/libfaketime-0.9.5-1.fc19.src.rpm
Description: libfaketime intercepts various system calls which programs use to
retrieve the current date and time. It can then report faked dates and
times (as specified by you, the user) to these programs. This means you
can modify the system time a program sees without having to change the
time system- wide.

Comment 1 Patrick Uiterwijk 2013-10-14 00:36:37 UTC
Two primary notices:

1. You don't need the %ifarch  x86_64, %{_lib} (and as a result %{_libdir}) are already lib on i686, and lib64 on x86_64.

2. This package compiles on x86_64 but not on i686??? Source: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6056725

- Infinite recursion patch is still needed, make test causes
  segfaults otherwise.

As this bug has been reopened, I will review this again.
Great to see that people work together! :-)

Comment 8 Patrick Uiterwijk 2013-12-04 11:55:36 UTC
Is there any progress on this?

Comment 9 Paul Wouters 2014-01-29 04:22:22 UTC
Spec URL: ftp://ftp.nohats.ca/libfaketime/libfaketime.spec
SRPM URL: ftp://ftp.nohats.ca/libfaketime/libfaketime-0.9.5-2.fc20.src.rpm

changelog:

* Wed Jan 29 2014 Paul Wouters <pwouters> - 0.9.5-2
- Own the faketime directory
- Use optflags instead of RPM_OPT_FLAGS
- Ensure libraries are stripped
- Place libraries in non-system path. Should only be used explicitly

I deleted the doc files because those are identical to what we include using %doc, but rpm gives warnings if the files are there already and the %doc macro would overwrite the existing (identical) files.

It's just a few readme like files, not worth a separate -doc package.

Comment 10 Patrick Uiterwijk 2014-03-03 10:19:47 UTC
Why are you stating the directory and the files in it seperately like this?
%dir %attr(0755,root,root) %_libdir/faketime
%attr(0755,root,root) %{_libdir}/faketime/%{name}*.so.*

Just this would accomplish the same, and be much clearer:
%attr(0755,root,root) %{_libdir}/faketime


Please fix this before pushing to the repos.

This package is APPROVED

Comment 11 Christopher Meng 2014-03-03 12:31:02 UTC
Do we need %attr(0755,root,root) ?

Please chmod +x the libraries in %install section if their permissions are incorrect.

Comment 13 Paul Wouters 2014-03-26 16:33:26 UTC
Christopher: I prefer using attr as that makes it independent of the build system settings or the upstream make install permissions. It's a guarantee the permissions will be correct.

Comment 14 Gwyn Ciesla 2014-03-26 16:35:46 UTC
Git done (by process-git-requests).
