Spec URL: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dropwatch/blob/f34/f/dropwatch.spec SRPM URL: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/dropwatch/1.5.3/4.fc34/src/dropwatch-1.5.3-4.fc34.src.rpm Description: Dropwatch is the user space utility that interfaces to a new kernel netlink protocol for the purposes of monitoring the linux network stack for dropped packets. This package was get retired as the previous owner Neil Horman left RedHat. But the upstream status[1] is still active. Since this is still a useful feature for networking debugging. And there is no replacement yet. I would like to make it keep building for Fedora. Fedora Account System Username: liuhangbin [1] https://github.com/nhorman/dropwatch
Oh, BTW, this will be the first package I own in Fedora. So looks like I need a sponsor (what this used for?) based on the wiki[1]. In RedHat I maintain packet libndp[2] and wireguard-tools[3].

(In reply to Hangbin Liu from comment #1) > So looks like I need a sponsor (what this used for?) based on the wiki[1]. I just a little confused with the word "sponsor". From the wiki context, I think it means guarantor?
Hi Hangbin, The spec needs some updates and tweaks. I propose the following changes: - Source0 returns 404 -Source0: https://github.com/nhorman/dropwatch/archive/dropwatch-%{version}.tar.gz +Source0: https://github.com/nhorman/dropwatch/archive/v%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz - Split and order BuildRequires and Requires - Add missing BuildRequires for gcc - You can simplify using autosetup rather than setup %prep -%setup -%patch0 -p1 +%autosetup -p1 - Use make_build rather than make -make %{?_smp_mflags} +%make_build - No need to remove buildroot -rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT - Change $RPM_BUILD_ROOT variable to %{buildroot} macro to avoid mixing styles - Use %license macro for license file -%doc COPYING +%license COPYING - For next review link the raw spec file so fedora-review can directly fetch it
Looking at upstream sources, apart from "dropwatch", it is also possible to build the "dwdump" helper program. That utility was added sometime between v1.5.1 and v1.5.2. Wonder why Neil didn't add it to the package.

BTW, I have a question about the account. I already have an account at https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/user/liuhangbin/. And I have signed the FPCA in the setting page. But when I try to fork the dropwatch code in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dropwatch. It said I need to sign the PFCA again with address https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/. But I can't log in to this site with my fedora account/passwd. Should I re-create a new account there? Thanks Hangbin
Hi Mikel, Here are the updated spec file and SRPM: SPEC URL: https://people.redhat.com/haliu/dropwatch/dropwatch.spec SRPM URL: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/9845/71189845/dropwatch-1.5.3-5.fc34.src.rpm Thanks Hangbin

Hi Hangbin, One last thing and this should be complete. - Use make_install macro -mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir} -mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man1 -install -m0755 src/dropwatch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir} -install -m0644 doc/dropwatch.1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man1 - +%{make_install} And then in %files you can change from * to binaries -%{_bindir}/* +%{_bindir}/dropwatch +%{_bindir}/dwdump Same with man pages, but you'll need to patch doc/Makefile.am to include dwdump's man page with https://github.com/nhorman/dropwatch/commit/a6a152f111766afefcdf3a3ba271cdeb3f387553 You can use directly: Patch1: https://github.com/nhorman/dropwatch/pull/33.patch
And also remember to split and order BuildRequires and Requires so it's easier to read

I just split them by functional. e.g. BuildRequires: autoconf automake make gcc pkgconfig BuildRequires: kernel-headers BuildRequires: libtool BuildRequires: binutils-devel readline-devel libpcap-devel libnl3-devel Requires: libnl3 Requires: readline

Hi Hangbin, - Two obsoleted m4 macros are used, you may want to report that upstream. - As Makefile.am is LGPLv2, you should add that license also in the spec or ask upstream to change to GPLv2 to match the rest of the code. Fix this before pushing the new spec to git.
