Description: buffer-based LRU cache
Fedora Account System Username: kilobyte
Upstream: Intel

Hi!
I'd like to ask for review and sponsoring of this package; it's a key:value cache optimized for persistent memory (in a volatile use...), developed at Intel.

While I happen to be one of most active package reviewers in Debian, this is my very first Fedora (and RPM at all) submission, thus you can expect some inadequacies.

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-04-21 07:56:01 UTC
 - Use a better name for your archive

Source0:	https://github.com/pmem/vmemcache/archive/%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz


 - ExcludeArch:	i686 armv7hl

Use ExclusiveArch instead:

ExclusiveArch:	x86_64 ppc64 ppc64le s390x aarch64

ExcludeArch are for build failures https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_architecture_build_failures

 - Do not glob major soname version to avoid unintentional soname bump:

%{_libdir}/libvmemcache.so.0*

 - You're missing the dist tag in Release:

Release:	1%{?dist}

Comment 2 Adam Borowski 2019-04-21 21:24:50 UTC
Done -- the ?dist part changed the SRPM to https://angband.pl/tmp/fedora/vmemcache-0.8-1.fc30.src.rpm

I've also added:
%license LICENSE
and
%doc ChangeLog

Thanks for the review so far!

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-04-21 21:45:05 UTC
LGTM, package approved.


You still need to find a sponsor. See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2019-07-12 16:34:01 UTC
