Review Request: tcpflow - Network traffic recorder
Last modified: 2007-12-04 14:14:04 EST
Spec URL: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/tcpflow/tcpflow.spec SRPM URL: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/tcpflow/tcpflow-0.21-1.fc.src.rpm Description: tcpflow is a program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP connections (flows), and stores the data in a way that is convenient for protocol analysis or debugging. A program like 'tcpdump' shows a summary of packets seen on the wire, but usually doesn't store the data that's actually being transmitted. In contrast, tcpflow reconstructs the actual data streams and stores each flow in a separate file for later analysis.
My build script was broken, updated srpm url: SRPM: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/tcpflow/tcpflow-0.21-1.fc8.src.rpm Small note to myself: update wishlist if packages gets included: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList
I don't like the additions of features that haven't been already accepted by upstream. In that case, upstream doesn't seems to be updating frequently, so it may be right. * rpmlint is silent * follow guidelines * free software, license included * match upstream 45a5aef6f043312315b7f342afc4a9c5 ./tcpflow-0.21.tar.gz * %file section right. APPROVED If you care, you can keep the man page timestamp by adding INSTALL='install -p' or similar on the make install line.
Seems to me that license is GPL+.
$ head -3 tcpflow-0.21/COPYING GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 From tpcflow-0.21/src/main.c and others * This source code is under the GNU Public License (GPL). See * LICENSE for details. So I guess, it's GPL+. Thanks, will fix.
