Description Miroslav Lichvar 2006-11-03 15:21:38 UTC
This is another split off tcpdump package, bug #193657.

Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/libpcap.spec
SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/libpcap-0.9.5-1.fc7.src.rpm
Description: 
Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network
monitoring.  Libpcap can provide network statistics collection,
security monitoring and network debugging.  Since almost every system
vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap
authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to
alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules
in each application.

Install libpcap if you need to do low-level network traffic monitoring
on your network.

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2006-11-08 20:35:50 UTC
Rpmlint is silent on src.rpm and built rpms and I've verified that the package
conforms to the Packaging guidelines.

ACCEPTED


Comment 2 Patrice Dumas 2006-11-08 20:59:33 UTC
Maybe the files in doc/ and the CREDITS file should be
shipped?

Comment 3 Tomas Mraz 2006-11-08 21:23:07 UTC
Miroslav, do what you think is better. I don't think it is necessary to include
them but maybe it would be a good idea. From the doc directory I'd choose just
txt format probably.

Added to dist-fc7.  Please close this bug when you've built for rawhide.
