description:
i2pd (I2P Daemon) is a full-featured C++ implementation of I2P client.

I2P (Invisible Internet Protocol) is a universal anonymous network layer.
All communications over I2P are anonymous and end-to-end encrypted,
participants don't reveal their real IP addresses.

I2P client is a software used for building and using anonymous I2P networks.
Such networks are commonly used for anonymous peer-to-peer applications
(filesharing, cryptocurrencies) and anonymous client-server applications
(websites, instant messengers, chat-servers).

I2P allows people from all around the world to communicate and share
information without restrictions.

Comment 1 Peter Lemenkov 2026-02-05 15:38:06 UTC
Amazing addition to Fedora. Let's work on it.

Comment 2 Peter Lemenkov 2026-02-05 22:00:05 UTC
Ok, looks good but I still have some proposals.

* Remove pushd build..popd - out %cmake and %ctest macros already changing working directory to "redhat-linux-build" so it won;'t mess with source code.
* Remove "ls && ls contrib" leftovers
* Instead of creating user and group in old-fashioned way consider using systemd for that. See for example - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mpdscribble/blob/rawhide/f/mpdscribble.spec#_44

Comment 3 Benson Muite 2026-02-06 10:03:40 UTC
Updated.

Build fails without entering build directory which contains cmake files

> * Remove "ls && ls contrib" leftovers

Done. Thanks.

 Done. Thanks.

Comment 4 Peter Lemenkov 2026-02-06 11:33:15 UTC
Few notes.

* Plenty of warning like this one:

```
In file included from /builddir/build/BUILD/i2pd-2.58.0-build/i2pd-2.58.0/build/../libi2pd/LeaseSet.h:19,

   57 |                         boost::asio::deadline_timer m_Timer;
```

Looks very straighforward to fix so if you have a spare time then report it upstream or either try fixning it by yourself and propose a PR. Not a blocker.

* Nobody owns /usr/share/i2pd. Please add it to %files section.

* Plenty of rpmlint issues (see below). Please address them.

I can't spot any other issues so here is my formal

Package Review
