Description Stuart D Gathman 2018-08-28 16:45:06 UTC
Spec URL: https://gathman.org/linux/SPECS/thttpd.spec
SRPM URL: https://gathman.org/linux/f28/src/thttpd-2.29-1.fc28.src.rpm
Description: 
Thttpd is a very compact no-frills httpd serving daemon that can handle
very high loads. While lacking many of the advanced features of Apache,
thttpd operates without forking and is extremely efficient in memory use.
Basic support for cgi scripts, authentication, and ssi is provided for.
Advanced features include the ability to throttle traffic.

Comment 1 Stuart D Gathman 2018-08-28 16:51:04 UTC
This is an unretire request.  

cons:
lighttpd is a good alternative to thttpd.  Upstream does not sign, provide checksums, or use https for source releases.

pros:
tiny.  throttling.  No forking.  Low memory.  Very useful for serving a few files from a laptop.

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-08-28 20:48:08 UTC
 - Use:

%post
%systemd_post thttpd.service

%preun
%systemd_preun thttpd.service

%postun
%systemd_postun thttpd.service


 - BR/R for systemd are not good, use instead:

%{?systemd_requires}
BuildRequires: systemd

 - Not needed, it is the default:

%global _hardened_build 1

 - This comment should probably not be in the description.

Available rpmbuild rebuild options :
--with : showversion expliciterrors makeweb
--without : indexes

 - Should probably not be marked as %config

%config %{_unitdir}/thttpd.service

 - Add gcc as a BR

 - %{__make} %{?_smp_mflags} → %make_build

 - Remove the commented prt:

# (list SUBDIRS to exclude "cgi-src")
#%make_build SUBDIRS="extras" WEBDIR=%{webroot} STATICFLAG="" \
#    CCOPT="%{optflags} -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"

 - Can't you use sed instead of perl -pi -e?

Comment 3 Stuart D Gathman 2018-08-29 00:30:28 UTC
Spec URL: https://gathman.org/linux/SPECS/thttpd.spec
SRPM URL: https://gathman.org/linux/f27/src/thttpd-2.29-2.fc27.src.rpm

I wonder if the with/without rebuild options are done correctly?  In my SPECs I use %bcond_with and %bcond_without.

Comment 4 Stuart D Gathman 2018-08-29 00:36:34 UTC
Regarding the rpmlint error, it sure looks like it calls chdir after chroot in the source.  What does rpmlint look at?

They do work as advertised.

I've looked at the source code too and didn't notice something amiss.

Package approved.
