Description Terje Røsten 2007-11-27 18:32:50 UTC
Spec URL: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/tcpflow/tcpflow.spec
SRPM URL: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/tcpflow/tcpflow-0.21-1.fc.src.rpm
Description:

tcpflow is a program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP
connections (flows), and stores the data in a way that is convenient
for protocol analysis or debugging. A program like 'tcpdump' shows a
summary of packets seen on the wire, but usually doesn't store the
data that's actually being transmitted. In contrast, tcpflow
reconstructs the actual data streams and stores each flow in a
separate file for later analysis.

Comment 2 Patrice Dumas 2007-11-27 22:37:14 UTC
I don't like the additions of features that haven't been 
already accepted by upstream. In that case, upstream doesn't
seems to be updating frequently, so it may be right.

* rpmlint is silent 
* follow guidelines
* free software, license included
* match upstream
45a5aef6f043312315b7f342afc4a9c5  ./tcpflow-0.21.tar.gz
* %file section right.


APPROVED

If you care, you can keep the man page timestamp by adding 
INSTALL='install -p' or similar on the make install line. 

Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2007-11-27 22:39:02 UTC
Seems to me that license is GPL+.

Comment 4 Terje Røsten 2007-11-27 22:52:41 UTC
$ head -3 tcpflow-0.21/COPYING
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2, June 1991


From tpcflow-0.21/src/main.c and others

So I guess, it's GPL+. Thanks, will fix.
