Description Georg Sauthoff 2026-01-18 19:47:07 UTC
Spec URL: https://codeberg.org/gms/fedora-pkg-submission/raw/commit/ff0a4d1803a96df399b09a539ad5428008034e05/libcpucycles.spec
SRPM URL: https:/georg.so/pub/libcpucycles-20260105-1.fc43.src.rpm

Description: libcpucycles support several machine-level cycle counters and OS-level
mechanisms on many CPU architectures and auto-selects the best performing one
when it's initialized.

Comment 1 Georg Sauthoff 2026-01-19 10:09:01 UTC
Spec URL: https://codeberg.org/gms/fedora-pkg-submission/raw/commit/6b23ac7435b32b22bb6b183f1d59f8b3f878a012/libcpucycles.spec
SRPM URL: https:/georg.so/pub/libcpucycles-20260105-1.fc43.src.rpm

A small update:
In case the build architecture actually has _libdir set to /usr/lib the move would fail thus it's guarded now.

Comment 2 Fedora Review Service 2026-01-19 19:37:07 UTC
Cannot find any valid SRPM URL for this ticket. Common causes are:

- You didn't specify `SRPM URL: ...` in the ticket description
  or any of your comments
- The URL schema isn't HTTP or HTTPS
- The SRPM package linked in your URL doesn't match the package name specified
  in the ticket summary

Comment 7 Georg Sauthoff 2026-02-01 13:06:31 UTC
Ok, I updated the spec file:

Spec URL: https://codeberg.org/gms/fedora-pkg-submission/raw/commit/ee1221c804171003d9eb64d8081f8c8b64f2d400/libcpucycles.spec
SRPM URL: https://georg.so/pub/libcpucycles-20260105-1.fc43.src.rpm

Spec Diff: https://codeberg.org/gms/fedora-pkg-submission/commit/ee1221c804171003d9eb64d8081f8c8b64f2d400


The koji builds look fine.

The glob for the shared library is now more specific.

I've dropped the CC0-1.0 license tag.
Wasn't sure how complete the license expression has to be, since upstream does include CC0-1.0.
However, the omission doesn't really matter since in both versions the license expression evaluates to true
under the Fedora license requirements.

Also updated the summary.

Comment 8 Benson Muite 2026-02-01 15:46:53 UTC
Thanks. Approved.
Review one of:
