SRPM URL: https://iucar.fedorapeople.org/pkgs/mininet-2.3.0-1.fc37.src.rpm

Description:
Mininet emulates a complete network of hosts, links, and switches on a single
machine. To create a sample two-host, one-switch network, just run: 'sudo mn'
Mininet is useful for interactive development, testing, and demos, especially
those using OpenFlow and SDN. OpenFlow-based network controllers prototyped
in Mininet can usually be transferred to hardware with minimal changes for
full line-rate execution.

Comment 1 Iñaki Ucar 2022-04-05 16:17:57 UTC
Blocking on FE-legal, because the license is not a standard one. It is the OpenFlow license, and there has been some discussion already here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/WVP4IVDG53PY3GBZTZBVPZ6LSHHJZFMN/

Key points:

- The last clause (about promotion) is exactly the same as the last clause of the W3C license, which is OSI-approved.

- Ubuntu, Debian and openSUSE already package this.

- OpenVSwitch is already part of Fedora and RedHat, and contains this same license as part of the OpenFlow headers, but apparently it was never cleared before?

Comment 2 Sandro Mani 2022-04-06 09:35:59 UTC
Could you review https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2070708 in exchange?

Comment 3 Sandro Mani 2022-04-06 10:32:51 UTC
Full review below, comments:

- License MIT seems to correctly reflect the contents of the binary package. util/sch_htb-ofbuf/* is GPLv2+, but is not built.
- [x]: %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise. => As of F36 (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SetBuildFlagsBuildCheck), CFLAGS/LDFLAGS etc are set by default. You could omit export CC="gcc %{optflags}". If you keep it, the correct way would be

    export CC=gcc
    export CFLAGS="%{optflags}"
    export LDFLAGS="%{__global_ldflags}"

- [x]: Requires correct, justified where necessary. => It might be useful to add a comment explaining the requires
- [!]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed files. => Use install -p
- rpmlint: drop exec bit from manpages, drop shebang from topo.py, review examples: either add exec bit or drop shebang depending on whether they should be runnable as python scripts or only used as imported python modules

Comment 5 Sandro Mani 2022-04-06 14:06:25 UTC
Thanks, approved!

Comment 6 Iñaki Ucar 2022-04-06 14:49:09 UTC
Thanks! Waiting on legal's verdict then.

Comment 7 Iñaki Ucar 2022-07-11 07:48:32 UTC
Upstream managed to change the license to a BSD 3-clause, so this is not blocked by legal anymore. See https://github.com/mininet/mininet/pull/1141

Comment 8 Iñaki Ucar 2022-07-11 09:15:25 UTC
@Sandro: I forgot that there's a time limit for the review age. I'm resetting the state and fedora-review flag. Could you please re-approve the package?
