Apparently Fedora thinks it's spelled LGPLv2, not LGPLv2.1?

Fix the BuildReqs and the %doc thing and I think this is good to go.

Comment 3 Peter Jones 2013-10-25 14:33:13 UTC
Okay, I've fixed those things.

Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2013-10-25 14:34:58 UTC
Well your spec file still doesn't say BuildRequires: git, but you'll need to fix that quite soon anyway.

Comment 5 Peter Jones 2013-10-25 14:44:27 UTC
Sorry, didn't scp the new .spec . Done now.

Git done (by process-git-requests).

f21 not yet branched, devel is automatic.

Comment 8 Ralf Corsepius 2013-10-25 15:19:49 UTC
According to the bugzilla time stamps:

Submission: 2013-10-25 09:47:19 EDT 
Git done: 2013-10-25 10:48:51 EDT
=> 61 minutes from submission to "git done"


Mails delivered at my place
Submission Fri, 25 Oct 2013 16:27:01
Git done: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 16:49:07
=> 22 minutes from submission to review.


Sorry, folks but ... this is Redhat Review Ping Pong.

Comment 9 Christopher Meng 2013-11-20 10:37:33 UTC
A month passed, I still can't see any changes in SCM.

PING.

Comment 10 Frank Ansari 2013-12-28 19:06:15 UTC
I have downloaded the 0.7 sources and make a test on my Feodra 20 system.

The tool gives this error:

efivar: poprReadDefaultConfig failed: No such file or directory

(I guess it should be "poptReadDefaultConfig"?)

I found it starts working as soon as I create an empty file in /etc/popt.d:

touch /etc/popt.d/popt

When I now run "efivar -l" I get the paramter list but printing any parameter fails.

Example:

[root@bat ~]# efivar -p -n 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-Boot0000
efivar: invalid name "8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-Boot0000"

Comment 11 Peter Jones 2014-06-19 20:44:59 UTC
Package Change Request
======================
Package Name: efivar

This is needed to backport newer versions of efibootmgr for bugfixes.
