Description: fluxcapacitor is a tool for making your program run without blocking on timeouts, on functions like poll() and select(), by spoofing POSIX time functions. It will make your program run faster and be 100% CPU constrained. It does that by "speeding up" blocking syscalls. Faking time is a necessary side effect.

Comment 1 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2018-01-14 17:21:59 UTC
Upstream accepted two of my patches, so I went ahead and updated the spec to use the new git snapshot.

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-01-15 13:36:12 UTC
 - Quite curious to install the *.so int /usr/share:

fluxcapacitor.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/fluxcapacitor/fluxcapacitor_preload.so
fluxcapacitor.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/fluxcapacitor/fluxcapacitor_test.so

Shouldn't you instead install them in %{_libdir}/%{name} as they are arch dependant? /usr/share is reserved for architecture-independent data. I modified your patch this way:

 - Patches shouldn't be applied within %ifarch, they need to be applied to all arches identically. If you need to restrict it to a certain arch, do it within the patch itself.

Comment 3 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2018-01-15 13:41:53 UTC
I put the .so in /usr/share, since it's something that, by design, should only be loaded by the fluxcapacitor binary and not really linked to anything else (there's no "libfluxcapacitor-devel" package that other programs can link against). Still, if it's preferred to put it in %{_libdir} either way, I can change the spec.

Thanks for the test case patch! I wanted to do something like this, but my Python knowledge is rather limited. :)

It is, there shouldn't be any platform dependent code in /usr/share

Comment 5 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2018-01-15 14:45:37 UTC
Should it go in %{_libdir}/%{name}, then? I think that's most other packages do with their modules and such.

Yes.
