Spec URL: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/6/testing/hostapd-FE/hostapd.spec SRPM URL: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/6/testing/hostapd-FE/hostapd-0.6-0.5.20070325.kwizart.fc6.src.rpm Description: User space daemon for access point This new version still uses mac80211 tarball from intel because ieee80211_common.h hostapd_ioctl.h aren't avaible from the kernel-headers or kernel-devel Spec URL: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/6/testing/hostapd/hostapd.spec SRPM URL: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/6/testing/hostapd/hostapd-0.6-0.6.20070510.kwizart.fc6.src.rpm Description: User space daemon for access point I'll review this package. Some quick remarks - you should drop #ifdefs for FC-6 since its no longer supported. Another one note - I think we should update hostapd up to 0.6.2 (latest devel release). Also you should drop mac80211 and wpa_supplicant from package - I think they no longer needed. please don't start review... It is aimed for coordination of efforts and testing use only... The last attempt was here: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/testing/8/SRPMS/hostapd-0.6.1-1.kwizart.fc8.src.rpm This package isn't ready since the mac80211 part for master mode will not be stabilized until 2.6.25 kernels (at least, as said linville). As such there is still missings headers. Maybe we could ask linville to have a testing kernel for such attemps (because there is also a need to test some special patches for master mode.) OK, Fedora 9 ships kernel-2.6.25. What's the current status of this request? SRPM: http://rpms.kwizart.net/fedora/testing/8/SRPMS/hostapd-0.6.1-1.kwizart.fc8.src.rpm My previous website is down. Here is the last version. I will try to re-work on it later... I've taken a look at the package because I plan on using it. So:
- minor nitpick: duplicate BuildRequires: zlib-devel (by openssl-devel),
krb5-devel (by openssl-devel)
- what's the reason of defining _version and using %{_version} instead of simply
using %{version}? technically it's OK, but it is also useless
Please let me know when the package is ready for review, for the moment mock
build fails because you BR madwifi bits (which are not available in fedora)
I will try to rework on this package soon, but i don't know if this will be relevant (specially as some master mode functions will still miss from the kernel, even from Rawhide kernel). Marking this as not being ready for review; please clear the whiteboard when it is ready. I don't plan to work on this anymore *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 548180 *** |
