Version 1 is an outdated series from 2009. Freeradius exists in Fedora as "freeradius". http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=298

This package is about the client library, which is not included in the package you refer to. It looks pretty actively developed: https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-client/commits/master
The tarball you refer to in "Source" is from 2008 regardless and those commits on Github appear to me as being backport attempts.
(In reply to Volker Fröhlich from comment #3) > The tarball you refer to in "Source" is from 2008 regardless and those > commits on Github appear to me as being backport attempts. I don't understand what you are arguing about. Do the freeradius package you referred to include the client libraries or not?
I would think so. At least it contains the binaries radiusclient, radlogin, radacct, radstatus.
(In reply to Volker Fröhlich from comment #5) > I would think so. At least it contains the binaries radiusclient, radlogin, > radacct, radstatus. Ok I stop commenting on that, as it is unproductive. radlogin is being provided by radiusclient-ng, which is an old abandoned library, and the freeradius package that you mention doesn't include the client library. If you know there is another package which do, please provide the package and the library name, so that no-one's time is wasted.

Package Review ============== Legend: [x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated ===== ISSUES ===== Since there were some indications in the specfile that this is intended for EPEL as well, I ran fedora-review with the -D EPEL5 flag. If this was not intended, some comments should be modified. %prep does "rm -f lib/md5.c", but leaves "lib/md5.h" in place. Shouldn't the header file be removed too? The URL: tag points to https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-client On this page the first thing that you see is a link to http://freeradius.org/freeradius-client/ which seems to be the upstream project website. Would this link be a better choice for the URL tag? The Source0: tag points to https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-client/archive/release_1_1_7.tar.gz The download link of the website points to ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/freeradius/freeradius-client-1.1.7.tar.gz The content of the tarballs is the same, but which of them is the one upstream considers to be their published version? Using the one from ftp.freeradius.org you could avoid the %global filename release_1_1_7 See also the issues marked [!] below. ===== MUST items ===== C/C++: [x]: Package does not contain kernel modules. [x]: Package contains no static executables. [x]: Header files in -devel subpackage, if present. [x]: ldconfig called in %post and %postun if required. [x]: Package does not contain any libtool archives (.la) [x]: Rpath absent or only used for internal libs. [x]: Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present. Generic: [x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging Guidelines. [!]: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package is included in %license.

(This is a recent change to the guidelines. 2015-01-15) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text Note that for older rpm versions (RHEL 5 and 6) using %license to tag files in the %files section is not supported. When not used as a tag in the %files section %license expands to the value of the License: tag in the specfile. This also happens with older rpm versions in the %files section. For this reason it is not possible to write %{?license: ...} to do conditional things depending on whether %license is supported in the %files section or not. Using %{?_licensedir: ...} works.

Package Review ============== Legend: [x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated Issues: ======= Items that were either [x], [-] or [?] in the previous review and whose status did not change have been removed from the list. This time fedora-review was run without the -D EPEL5 flag. The issues from the previous review were mostly addressed. I do however have some remaining questions. See the few remaining items marked [!]. I assume the spec file mismatch was an unintended glitch. The "description-line-too-long" rpmlint error can be easily fixed by adding a line break in the long line. ===== MUST items ===== Generic: [x]: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package is included in %license. [x]: License file installed when any subpackage combination is installed. [!]: If the package is under multiple licenses, the licensing breakdown must be documented in the spec. The PACKAGE-LICENSING file only lists the .c files not the .h files. I think the licenses for the headers are relevant too. [x]: Package does not generate any conflict. [!]: If the package is a rename of another package, proper Obsoletes and Provides are present. A) There is an Obsoletes, but no Provides. Is this intentional? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages "If a package supersedes/replaces an existing package without being a compatible enough replacement as defined in above, use only the Obsoletes" Without looking into details, I imagine that the -utils subpackage is compatible enough with the radiusclient-ng-utils and that a Provides would be resonable here. You might know details that invalidates this assumpion though. Anyway, the Obsoletes (and Provides if added) should be versioned Obsoletes: radiusclient-ng-utils < 0.5.6-13 Provides: radiusclient-ng-utils = %{version}-%{release} If using %{version}-%{release} for the Provides doesn't make sense some hardcoded value (greater than the current 0.5.6-12%{?dist}) might be used. See also the "obsolete-not-provided" and "unversioned-explicit-obsoletes" rpmlint warnings below. B) What will happen with the other packages built from the radiusclient-ng source rpm (radiusclient-ng and -devel)? Will the whole package be retired, or only the -utils subpackage dropped? If the whole package will be retired, the corresponding new packages should Obsolete the old packages also for these. A Provides probably shouldn't be addad here though since it is probably not a "compatible enough replacement" since names of header files and libraries are different. If the radiusclient-ng package will remain in Fedora but no longer provide the -utils subpackage there is no need for Obsoletes in the main and -devel subpackages.

I have no control over the other library. I have opened bug #1170578, but it's up to that maintainer to retire it when he deems necessary (and when there are no longer dependencies of it). The projects are different enough for them to stay in Fedora (except for the utils). > Have you coordinated the transition with the maintainer of the > radiusclient-ng package?

Thanks, it seems I'll need to rebuilt it.
My updated spec and srpm. As far as I understand the only open issue is whether obsoletes will provide version. I'll prefer not, but let me know if you insist on having it. http://people.redhat.com/nmavrogi/fedora/freeradius-client.spec http://people.redhat.com/nmavrogi/fedora/freeradius-client-1.1.7-3.fc21.src.rpm
It is mostly OK. But... Obsoleting a package that continues to exist in the destribution is a packaging bug. (See today's notification on devel@lists.fp.o about obsoleted packages still remaining in the repos and the reqest to the maintainers to fix it.) If you introduce an Obsoletes, there must exist a plan to remove the obsoleted package. Introducing an Obsoletes against a package that is planning to stay in the distribution is not really an Obsoletes but rather a very aggressive version of a Conflicts, and therefore not allowed. You have a couple of options: A. Agree with the maintainer of radiusclient-ng that there will be an updated radiusclient-ng package that removes the radiusclient-ng-utils subpackage. Then your latest version of the freeradius-client.spec is OK. Except you will know the first version-release of radiusclient-ng that has dropped the -utils subpackage and you can use a versioned Obsolete. B. Agree with the maintainer of radiusclient-ng that the entire radiusclient-ng will be retired. You will then know the last version of radiusclient-ng that existed before it was retired, and you can use a versioned Obsoletes. In this case you should also add Obsoletes for radiusclient-ng and radiusclient-ng-devel. C. Agree with the maintainer of radiusclient-ng that both radiusclient-ng-utils and freeradius-client-utils will both provide the utilities and that both will introduce alternatives and how. The radiusclient-ng-utils package that introduces the alternatives must have a proper %pre that deletes the files that will be replaced by alternatives to upgrade properly and you should not have an Obsloetes for the radiusclient-ng-utils in the freeradius-client-utils package. You should insted have a versioned Conflicts against versions of radiusclient-ng-utils earlier than the first version-release that adds the alternatives (i.e. versions no longer present in the distribution). D. You remove the freeradius-client-utils subpackage from the freeradius-client source package and only build the freeradius-client and freeradius-client-devel packages. This will introduce the new package without any conflicts with the existing package. If you are unable to make an agreement with the maintainer of radiusclient-ng at this time, you can if you wish do option D first and then change to A, B or C at a later point in time when an agreement has been reached. If you have been trying to contact the maintainer of radiusclient-ng without success, then follow the procedure outlined in the Policy for Non-responsive Maintainers: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

I don't want to delay the freeradius-client library for that issue to be resolved. I'll remove the utils part of the freeradius-client. Would that be ok with you?
