SRPM URL: http://icon.fedorapeople.org/f/pathfinder-0.2.6-0.2.fc9.src.rpm
Description:
Pathfinder is designed to provide a mechanism for any program to perform
RFC3280-compliant path validation of X.509 certificates, even when some of
the intermediate certificates are not present on the local machine. It will
automatically download any such certificates (and their CRLs) from the
Internet as needed using the AIA and CRL distribution point extensions of the
certificate it is processing.

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2008-07-28 07:12:07 UTC
first part of review is here, but it must build in Rawhide before continuing :-)

OK	source files match upstream:

- pkgconfig can be removed from BR: as it is taken in by the *-devels
- doesn't build in Rawhide

Comment 2 Konstantin Ryabitsev 2008-07-30 02:02:34 UTC
Confirmed non-building on x86_64 -- passed upstream. Holding off for now.

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2008-10-10 11:01:50 UTC
Ping, any progress?

Comment 4 Konstantin Ryabitsev 2008-12-27 18:28:05 UTC
Still waiting for a new upstream release.

Comment 5 Konstantin Ryabitsev 2009-07-04 02:42:04 UTC
All right, almost a year later things are finally in place to have this in Fedora. :) Here's the latest spec and srpm:

http://icon.fedorapeople.org/f/pathfinder.spec
http://icon.fedorapeople.org/f/pathfinder-1.0.0-0.2.fc11.src.rpm

All the above issues should be fixed. It builds and works on x86_64. The patches that are applied in this RPM have all been submitted upstream.

Comment 6 Dan Horák 2009-07-10 11:01:16 UTC
Doing a full review after such long time, see comments at the end of the check-list.

- googlecode return 404 when trying to download the sources, but in few times I was successful, strange ...
- why Release == 0.2 when 1.0.0 is a regular release, not a pre-release
- it builds with the check section disabled
- checks don't run in a chrooted environment (in mock)
- rpmlint complains a bit, but it's harmless and expected

Comment 7 Konstantin Ryabitsev 2009-07-11 20:37:40 UTC
- Release = 0.2 because it's not the final version of the spec. :) I usually change it to 1 before importing into cvs
- Checks seem to only be failing on ppc, while passing on i586 and x86_64. Filed a bug upstream and added ifnarch.

This is a scratch build of the 0.3 spec release:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1468032

Updated .spec and .src.rpm:
http://fedorapeople.org/~icon/f/pathfinder.spec
http://fedorapeople.org/~icon/f/pathfinder-1.0.0-0.3.fc11.src.rpm

OK

Hm, I got failures when doing a mock build for rawhide/x86_64 ...

All issues are resolved, this package is APPROVED.
