- Fix the above.

**

- I'd move the definition
 %define date 20090925
to the top of the spec file, change the %define to %global and add it also to the Release field, i.e.
 Release: 3.%{date}%{?dist}

- Modernize obsolete BuildRoot to
 BuildRoot: %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX)

- Move tests to %check phase.

- Don't use %makeinstall, it's deprecated.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Why_the_.25makeinstall_macro_should_not_be_used

- Change
 mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/rpm
 cp -a %{SOURCE2} %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}
 mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/{sysconfig,cron.daily,prelink.conf.d}
 cp -a %{SOURCE3} %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/cron.daily/prelink
 cp -a %{SOURCE4} %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig/prelink
 chmod 755 %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/cron.daily/prelink

 install -D -p -m 644 %{SOURCE4} %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig/prelink
 install -D -p -m 644 %{SOURCE5} %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/rpm/macros.prelink
where the contents of cat > << EOF has been placed in SOURCE5.

- Drop the %attr lines from %files, as they are unnecessary (default permissions).

- Change
 %{_prefix}/sbin/prelink
 %{_prefix}/bin/execstack
to
 %{_sbindir}/prelink
 %{_bindir}/execstack

These are OK except for the missing URL tag and invalid source0.

Patch against rawhide spec

Ugh, chromium messed up on me. The correct patch is in comment #5. What I have done in the patch is:
- modernized buildroot tag (you can as well remove it altogether, if you like)
- moved testing to %check
- made the %install section a bit clearer (if you don't this changes, just scrap it)
- added missing documentation to %doc
- switched to using %{_bindir} and %{_sbindir} macros
- fixed macros in comments.

Since the makefile is missing the DESTDIR target, looks like makeinstall needs to be used for now. However, as you are upstream, I'm sure you could fix this in a jiffy.

What still needs to be done is the source URL - the "we are upstream" exception was removed from the Packaging Guidelines a while ago. Please ask for a project for prelink on fedorahosted.org and make the stuff available there.

Once you have done this I can safely approve this review.


PS. Maybe you'll want to add license headers to the test suite, too.

How to handle this bug is left to the discretion of the package maintainer.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
