Description Giuseppe Marco Randazzo 2013-02-15 23:37:43 UTC
Spec URL: https://raw.github.com/zeld/var/master/bittwist.spec
SRPM URL: https://raw.github.com/zeld/var/master/bittwist-2.0-1.fc18.src.rpm

Description: Bit-Twist is a simple yet powerful libpcap-based Ethernet packet generator. It is designed to complement tcpdump, which by itself has done a great job at capturing network traffic.
With Bit-Twist, you can now regenerate your captured traffic onto a live network! Packets are generated from tcpdump trace file (.pcap file). Bit-Twist also comes with a comprehensive trace file editor to allow you to change the contents of a trace file.

Generally, packet generator is useful in simulating networking traffic or scenario, testing firewall, IDS, and IPS, and troubleshooting various network problems.

Hi Giuseppe 

About review process

Perhaps you have tried to register at any time when the platform was not available, however, and the expectation that you are searching a different url, you retry with this.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/

These links may be useful:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process#Contributor
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#Use_rpmlint

Is good practice paste the rpmlint output in the review, and at least make a build scratch on koji and paste the link in the review

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Koji_build_system#Scratch_Builds

Please tag the field "Blocks" with the word FE-NEEDSPONSOR. So, will let you know the sponsors you need sponsorship  

About the package 

I have not thoroughly checked the package, but at first glance,  I give some recommendations

You have a typo in this line
URL:		http://http://bittwist.sourceforge.net/

in %install
make install prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr
should be 
make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} PREFIX=%{_prefix}

(if $DESTDIR supports)

Check it
$ rpm --eval %{_prefix}
/usr

the description should not be more than 80 characters per line, rpmlit complains with description-line-too-long

- Please do honors applicable compiler flags, Use %{optflags}

Check it
$ rpm --eval %{optflags}
-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4  -m64 -mtune=generic


Check the makefile and do the patch, (do not forget to send the patch to upstream)

bittwist:
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRC)/bittwist.c -o $(SRC)/bittwist -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lpcap

bittwiste:
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRC)/bittwiste.c -o $(SRC)/bittwiste -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lpcap

- the tag license is wrong 
License:	GPL2
should be
License:        GPLv2

the changelog is wrong
%changelog
* Fri Feb 15 2013 Giuseppe Marco Randazzo <gmrandazzo>
- first build for bittwist
should be
%changelog
* Fri Feb 15 2013 Giuseppe Marco Randazzo <gmrandazzo> - 2.0-1
- first build for bittwist

- Don't needed %defattr(-,root,root)

Kind Regards

Can you please provide updated files (spec and SRPM)? Not as attachment to the report but rather as links. Thanks.

Comment 12 Eduardo Echeverria 2015-03-05 06:18:20 UTC
I'm still interested in know what is the fas of Giuseppe and if still he hasn't been sponsored. Like says Fabian, Giuseppe, please append the links of the spec and SRPM, usually reviewers use a tool named fedora-review, that expects those links be available at the review.

Comment 13 Giuseppe Marco Randazzo 2020-04-28 15:57:07 UTC
Dear all,

thank you for your support and interest.
I found a workaround package, tcpreply.
With this message I would like to close this package request.

Best regards,
GMR
