Description:
Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure the performance of many
different types of networking. It provides tests for both unidirectional
throughput, and end-to-end latency.

Comment 3 Petr Menšík 2021-07-22 11:52:32 UTC
I forgot also netperf.service systemd file should be provided for easy running of netserver. It can be used also without it, but would simplify testing.

Comment 4 Davide Cavalca 2021-07-22 16:39:18 UTC
Thanks! The disttag thing is a side effect of using rpmautospec: https://pagure.io/FedoraReview/pull-request/417 The texinfo thing looks like a bug in fedora-review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1725569

SRPM URL: https://dcavalca.fedorapeople.org/review/netperf/netperf-2.7.0-1.20210713git3bc455b.fc35.src.rpm

Changelog:
- Updated license
- Added systemd service for netserver

Comment 5 Petr Menšík 2021-08-03 09:50:08 UTC
Okay, seems good to go.

Not sure %autochangelog feature is available already. There seems to be opposition to it and it is not ready for Fedora 35 [1]. I know I already accepted some your reviews using %autochangelog, but it seems it should be removed for now [1]. Original change introducing it were never finished in f34. My local builds were successful on your spec file, but you may require to return to classic Release: with %{?dist} tag. I think you will be able to adjust spec for production build.

Comment 6 Petr Menšík 2021-08-03 12:48:56 UTC
Wait.

Your package uses %systemd_post etc., but does not use %{?systemd_requires} to require systemd during upgrades. It seems that case is well covered and it makes sense to work even without systemd. Not necessary it seems, but would solve unowned %_unitdir.

Another recommendation would be using unprivileged user for netperf service. It uses root user, which is dangerous. I haven't found whether it is mandatory, I think it should be therefore just recommended. Consult user and groups [1] in Guidelines. I think at minimum DynamicUser=yes feature of systemd should be used to run non-privileged service. I just guess it does not require special privileges, capabilities(7) would provide ability to grant just few required permissions in the other case.

Comment 7 Petr Menšík 2021-08-03 14:17:23 UTC
I just found in [1] that %{?systemd_ordering} might be useful without explicit dependency. It would allow installation without systemd, but with correct order if installed.

Comment 8 Davide Cavalca 2021-08-03 16:07:37 UTC
Thanks! I think %autochangelog is fine per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/rpmautospec and it seems to work properly in F34 for other packages I have. I'll have a look at those systemd macros and see if I can use DynamicUser=yes in the service.
