Description: Spectre & Meltdown vulnerability/mitigation checker for Linux
Fedora Account System Username: ganto

Hi. I created a RPM on COPR [1] for the spectre-meltdown-checker script which is developed at [2]. It helps users to identify in what way their machine is affected of the different Spectre and Meltdown security issues and how far they are already mitigated on their machine. I assumed that maybe a larger part of the Fedora users would be interested in such a check that's why I propose this package here for inclusion into Fedora and EPEL.

You're not a member of the packager group, you'll need to find a sponsor. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
Try introducing yourself on the devel mailing list too.

Package is fine otherwise, let me know whern

Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2018-01-23 19:14:29 UTC
I will sponsor this packager into the packagers collection, provided this package is accepted.

I have seen his work in other packages (primarily the LXD COPR repo), and he does a good job with his packaging and trying to follow the Fedora packaging guidelines.

Comment 3 Neal Gompa 2018-01-23 19:16:36 UTC
ganto is now sponsored in the packagers group, good luck!

@Robert-Andre, please complete the review.

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-01-23 19:17:38 UTC
This package is approved.

Comment 5 Gwyn Ciesla 2018-01-26 15:31:25 UTC
(fedrepo-req-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/spectre-meltdown-checker

Comment 6 Reto Gantenbein 2018-02-13 18:04:14 UTC
Thanks a lot for your support. The package is in the Fedora stable repositories now. Somehow the "Fedora Update System" didn't properly propagate the changes to the bug report:

spectre-meltdown-checker-0.33-1.fc26 has been pushed to the Fedora 26 stable repository.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-d4404e0708

spectre-meltdown-checker-0.33-1.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 stable repository.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-e3d1c4e564

The packages for the EPEL repositories are also on its way. If anyone could help accelerating this, it would be much appreciated.

I guess this bug report can be closed now. Feel free to open another bug if you have any issue with this package.
