Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/esandeen/ext4/e4fsprogs/e4fsprogs.spec SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/esandeen/ext4/e4fsprogs/e4fsprogs-1.41-0.1.WIP.617.el5.src.rpm Description: The e4fsprogs package contains a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying, and correcting any inconsistencies in the fourth extended (ext4) filesystem. E4fsprogs contains e4fsck (used to repair filesystem inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke4fs (used to initialize a partition to contain an empty ext4 filesystem), debugfs (used to examine the internal structure of a filesystem, to manually repair a corrupted filesystem, or to create test cases for e4fsck), tune4fs (used to modify filesystem parameters), and most of the other core ext4fs filesystem utilities. Please note that "e4fsprogs" simply contains renamed static binaries from the equivalent upstream e2fsprogs release; it is packaged this way for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to ensure that the many changes included for ext4 do not destabilize the core e2fsprogs in RHEL5. You should install the e4fsprogs package if you need to manage the performance of an ext4 filesystem.
Approved component for 5.3
I'll handle this one. Eric, is the url in comment #0 still the latest and greatest package version that should be reviewed?
It's built in brew now, so maybe better: http://porkchop.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/e4fsprogs/1.41.0/1.el5/ -Eric
I see nothing objectionable in the spec, and its just an already-approved e2fsprogs spec with some minor tweaks. Everything builds and runs as expected. rpmlint is happy with both the srpm and binary rpms, save one warning about the permissions uuid initscript in the srpm (which we can just ignore). Package APPROVED, import this puppy. Or better yet, an updated 1.41.1 version, since that's out now.
