Description Pavel Alexeev 2013-08-25 13:03:38 UTC
Spec URL: https://raw.github.com/Hubbitus/Fedora-packaging/4db608ff5a11fa8762c8a4c7f7c69e34fa2f0208/SPECS/ulatencyd.spec
SRPM URL: http://hubbitus.info/rpm/Fedora19/ulatencyd/ulatencyd-0.5.0-1.src.rpm
Description:
== What is ulatency ==
Ulatency is a daemon that controls how the Linux kernel will spend it's
resources on the running processes. It uses dynamic cgroups to give the kernel
hints and limitations on processes.

It strongly supports the lua scripting language for writing rules and the
scheduler code.

== What tries it to fix ==
The Linux scheduler does a pretty good job to give the available resources to
all processes, but this may not be the best user experience in the desktop case.
It monitors the system and categorizes the running processes into cgroups.
Processes that run wild to slow down the system by causing massive swapping will
be isolated.

Comment 1 Pavel Alexeev 2013-08-25 13:06:37 UTC
Now bundles parts of bc, coreutils, libproc.
Upstream bug for that: https://github.com/poelzi/ulatencyd/issues/46

This part is useless, I hope you can cleanup.

Comment 4 Christopher Meng 2014-02-24 03:29:25 UTC
0. Please provide me the raw spec url.

1. Release:        1

You know what to do next.

2. systemd part incorrect, please correct via:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd

3.   -DLUA_JIT=0 \

LUAJIT is in fedora now, try it.

Comment 5 Pavel Alexeev 2014-03-29 19:37:58 UTC
Christopher thank you for take review, but it is really not ready yet (you have cler that flag). By provided link you may find hot and interesting discussing about libraries unbundling. Author is very kind and most issues resolved. But there big problem with procps - current Fedora version can't be linked shared because does not export required symbols. So, we should wait.

Comment 6 Upstream Release Monitoring 2015-12-06 18:25:55 UTC
pbrobinson's scratch build of linux-user-chroot?#b7afe5173cbd31b029b027b6f8a14baa5e6ce87a for epel7-archbootstrap and git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/linux-user-chroot?#b7afe5173cbd31b029b027b6f8a14baa5e6ce87a failed http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12089939

Comment 9 Otto Liljalaakso 2021-07-02 18:54:27 UTC
This review request is really old. Do you still intend to complete it? If so, I can review. If not, please close this issue and make it block FE-DEADREVIEW, or do nothing, in which case automation will close the request in one month.

Upstream README starts with note about being unmaintained. Combined with the build and bundling issues, it seems to me that ulatencyd should not be added to Fedora. But, it is your call if you want to keep it running, of course.
