Description: mbuffer is a tool for buffering data streams. Its special feature is to show the I/O rate and summary to the user.

Comment: The package had already been under review, in "pre-bugzilla_review" times. But for some reasons I never committed it into CVS. So I feel it is better to again offer a review. Reference for previous review:

rpmlint on SRPM is not silent
W: mbuffer mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs
The specfile mixes use of spaces and tabs for indentation, which is a
cosmetic annoyance.  Use either spaces or tabs for indentation, not both.


Comment 2 Paul Howarth 2006-08-09 13:22:16 UTC
Given that I already approved this package back in the old days, I'll take
another quick look at it later today when I a free moment or two; shouldn't take
too long.

Thanks, did rpmlint just against the binary rpm. Now fixed it without version
bump (the 2 compile options needed another tab indent).

Needswork:

 * No point including the NEWS file as it just says to look in ChangeLog

Are you sponsored? I don't see your bugzilla address in owners.list.


Comment 5 Alexander Dalloz 2006-08-10 17:03:51 UTC
Thanks Paul! I removed the NEWS file from %docs and bumped release. The new

SRPM URL: http://www.uni-x.org/review/mbuffer-20060728-2.src.rpm
Spec URL: http://www.uni-x.org/review/mbuffer.spec

Yes, I was sponsored last year by Warren and maintain 2 packages (keychain +
pam_abl) in Extas. My FE mail address is different to my BZ account - please see
the %changelog for the FE address.

OK, APPROVED.

Hmm, I thought the FE and BZ addresses had to match or things got very confused.
As long as you receive your bug reports it's OK though :-)


Comment 7 Alexander Dalloz 2006-08-10 18:30:47 UTC
Thanks Paul for the work and approval.
I will ask at other place about the mail address. So far I am listed in the
owners.list with my bugzilla address, and I am getting bug tickets about my
packages properly.

Comment 8 Alexander Dalloz 2006-08-11 00:32:41 UTC
Though not a requirement, I changed my bugzilla email address to prevent any
future confusion.
The devel branch build properly, so I am closing this ticket.
