Review Request: perl-Authen-Radius
Last modified: 2017-08-10 19:54:06 EDT
Spec Name or Url: http://home.bawue.net/~ixs/perl-Authen-Radius/perl-Authen-Radius.spec SRPM Name or Url: http://home.bawue.net/~ixs/perl-Authen-Radius/perl-Authen-Radius-0.12-1.src.rpm Description: This is RadiusPerl version 0.11. RadiusPerl is a Perl 5 module (Radius.pm) which allows you to communicate with a Radius server from Perl. You can just authenticate usernames/passwords via Radius, or comletely imitate AAA requests and process server response.
I'm not a Radius user but I can do a review. The package builds fine in mock (devel branch) and rpmlint is silent. Issues: BuildRequires: perl is not allowed; cpanspec should be able to generate a proper specfile that doesn't do this. There's no point in the BuildRequires: for perl(IO) and perl(Digest::MD5) as these are part of base perl, but I don't supposed there's any harm in keeping them. The only thing that's strictly necessary is BuildRequires: perl(Data::HexDump) Review: * package meets naming and packaging guidelines. * specfile is properly named, is cleanly written, uses macros consistently and conforms to the Perl template. * license field matches the actual license. * license is open source-compatible. It's not included separately in the package, but this is not necessary as the upstream tarball does not include it. * source files match upstream: 8427f931a4e0e689ecf8ddf30e5a0ea7 RadiusPerl-0.12.tar.gz 8427f931a4e0e689ecf8ddf30e5a0ea7 RadiusPerl-0.12.tar.gz-srpm * package builds in mock. X BuildRequires: perl not permitted. * no shared libraries. * package is not relocatable. * owns the directory it creates. * no duplicates in %files. * file permissions are appropriate. * %clean is present. * code, not content. * documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary. * %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package. * no headers. * no pkgconfig files. * no libtool .la droppings. * not a GUI app. * The package owns %{perl_vendorlib}/Authen, which will probably also be owned by any module under the Authen:: namespace. However, there are no dependencies which could create this directory so there is no alternative but for this package to own it.

Thx for the review. Upgraded files are available at: http://home.bawue.de/~ixs/perl-Authen-Radius/
Looks good and builds properly. BTW, you left the perl(IO) and perl(Digest::MD5) buildreqs in, but this isn't a blocker. APPROVED
