lsyncd 2.1.6 was released on October 15, 2015 and can be downloaded here: https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd/archive/release-2.1.6.tar.gz It contains a (complete) fix, most notably, for bug #1165078 -- a long-standing security vulnerability tagged CVE-2014-8990. The current Fedora spec file applies a patch (Patch0) which addresses that issue, but inadequately. For more info see the oss-sec discussion at this URL provided in bug #1165078 : http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q4/796 (Our Patch0, which is based on the rejected incomplete fix, can now be dropped as upstreamed.) In addition, the spec file still lists the old Google Code project URL. While that page does point visitors to the new GitHub home, it doesn't make sense to send people the long way around when the spec file should be using... URL: https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd/ Lastly (sorry), I would strongly urge removing the /bin/sh -c 'eval...' wrapper from ExecStart in lsyncd.service. See bug #1369274 for rationale. No other /etc/sysconfig/ file that I can find supports nested variables, and attempting to do so for /etc/sysconfig/lsyncd breaks systemd's collection and journaling of the lsyncd output, as detailed in that bug.
I just updated the lsyncd entry in Anitya (it was also still pointed at Google Code for updates), which explains why it just noticed 2.1.6 and created its own bug #1383857 to duplicate this manual one.
Thanks for the report. We will be looking at addressing the items you have listed.
