Spec URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/halevt.spec SRPM URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpm/halevt-0.0.7-1.fc9.src.rpm Description: Halevt (HAL events manager) is a daemon that executes arbitrary commands when a device with certain properties is added to the system and when device properties change. Halevt uses HAL to monitor the state of your system's hardware. With the default config file, it can handle the mounting of media as they are inserted/attached to the system. Halevt comes with halevt-mount a program able to use HAL to mount, umount devices and keep a list of devices handled by halevt-mount.
I am upstream, so I would have preferred not to be the maintainer, but since nobody submit it...
There is a typo in the src.rpm link above (fc-srpm instead of fc-srpms)...

[x] The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files is correct. [x] File based requires are sane. I wonder if the file named ChangeLog should not be packaged, too ? I'll trust your judgement, since you are also upstream. I'll try to test the program tomorrow and come back with the rest of the review.
I've given a try today. It seems to work, my var/log/messages is full of stuff generated by halevt. APPROVED
Manuel, thanks for the quick review. Filling /var/log/messages is not necessarily the proof of a great software, but currently it is on purpose because there hasn't been a lot of testing and these messages also help to understand what event halevt sees. Maybe I'll try to do a less verbose release or have a configurable verbosity someday. As for the ChangeLog, I try to have everything relevant for users in NEWS, ChangeLog is for developers only. New Package CVS Request ======================= Package Name: halevt Short Description: Generic handler for HAL events Owners: pertusus Branches: F-8 Cvsextras Commits: yes
I can make a F-7 branch if somebody asks for it, but given that I had to submit it I guess that nobody will.
FWIW: My testing was performed on a F-7
cvs done.
The package seems to have been built sucessfully and pushed (at least in rawhide). Any reason to not close this bug ?
No reason, closing.
