Description of problem: parprouted is a daemon for transparent IP (Layer 3) proxy ARP bridging. Unlike standard bridging, proxy ARP bridging allows to bridge Ethernet networks behind wireless nodes. Normal L2 bridging does not work between wireless nodes because wireless does not know about MAC addresses used in the wired Ethernet networks. Also this daemon is useful for making transparent firewalls. http://www.hazard.maks.net/ I have been using parprouted for allowing a guest Virtualbox OS to have a different IP from the host OS, when a wireless connection is used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

Practice review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467530
- MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review. Clean. - MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines . Ok. - MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption on Package Naming Guidelines . Ok. - MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines . FIX: Rename patch to parprouted-makefile.patch, tag with Patch0: Question: What's with the real_version business? Why not use the real version? Question: Why no initscripts? - MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines . OK. - MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. OK. - MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc. OK. - MUST: The spec file must be written in American English. OK. - MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. If the reviewer is unable to read the spec file, it will be impossible to perform a review. Fedora is not the place for entries into the Obfuscated Code Contest (http://www.ioccc.org/). OK. - MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this. OK. - MUST: The package must successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one supported architecture. OK. - MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in ExcludeArch. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch needs to have a bug filed in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that architecture. The bug number should then be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding ExcludeArch line. New packages will not have bugzilla entries during the review process, so they should put this description in the comment until the package is approved, then file the bugzilla entry, and replace the long explanation with the bug number. The bug should be marked as blocking one (or more) of the following bugs to simplify tracking such issues: FE-ExcludeArch-x86 , FE-ExcludeArch-x64 , FE-ExcludeArch-ppc , FE-ExcludeArch-ppc64 OK. - MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense. OK. Local mock rawhide build completed successfully. - MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden. OK. - MUST: Every binary RPM package which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. If the package has multiple subpackages with libraries, each subpackage should also have a %post/%postun section that calls /sbin/ldconfig. An example of the correct syntax for this is: %post -p /sbin/ldconfig %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig NA. - MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker. NA. - MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. Refer to the Guidelines for examples. OK. - MUST: A package must not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing. OK. - MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a %defattr(...) line. Fix: Why set the man page executable? Drop the 0755 from defattr, and set attr manually on the binary. - MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} ( or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). OK. - MUST: Each package must consistently use macros, as described in the macros section of Packaging Guidelines . OK. - MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. This is described in detail in the code vs. content section of Packaging Guidelines . OK. - MUST: Large documentation files should go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity) NA. - MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present. OK. - MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. NA. - MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. NA. - MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for directory ownership and usability). NA. - MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package. NA. - MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} NA. - MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these should be removed in the spec. OK. - MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the %install section. This is described in detail in the desktop files section of the Packaging Guidelines . If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation. NA. - MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. OK. - MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} ( or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). See Prepping BuildRoot For %install for details. OK. - MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. OK. In summary: Initscripts, permissions, version numbering.
Thanks for the review. I added a missing "Requires: iproute" to the spec file and .src.rpm parprouted has no Initscripts because it needs a fixed IP and a pre-created Interface, typically tap0. Generally, parprouted is called before starting Virtualbox and killed afterwards. The version number follows upstream (the previous was 0.65): http://hazardous-area.org/parprouted/

And what about the permissions? I recreated the .src.rpm with mock and now the files are owned by mockbuild: [cascavel:~/RPMS8/lcgrpms/src] als parprouted-0.70-2.fc8.src.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 mockbuilmockbuil 686 Aug 10 10:18 makefile.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 mockbuilmockbuil 18844 Jan 27 2008 parprouted-0.7.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 mockbuilmockbuil 1542 Oct 24 14:13 parprouted.spec SRPM: http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/parprouted-0.70-2.fc8.src.rpm SPEC: http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/specs/parprouted.spec
I am adding two scripts to help a user to use parprouted. parprouted-up.sh and parprouted-down.sh Since parprouted does not support dhcp and is intended to be used for wireless networks, I think it is better not to try to start a service automatically. Also, I did not understand what you mean by "permissions" problems, because all files in the resulting rpm have the correct permissions. I thought you were meaning, maybe, the permissions of the files in the .src.rpm, but these will change when built using koji, anyaway.

I made another review, but this one required some modifications in the spec file, because the packager suppressed the generation of the examples. In my opinion, examples should always be supplied, unless there is a good reason for not packaging them. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464074
By permissions, I am referring to the permissions of the files owned by the package: %files %defattr(-, root, root, 0755) %doc CHANGELOG COPYING README %{_bindir}/%{name}* %{_mandir}/man8/%{name}.8* What I'm asking is, do you really want parprouted to be executable by root? If not, : %files %defattr(0744, root, root, -) %doc CHANGELOG COPYING README %{_bindir}/%{name}* %{_mandir}/man8/%{name}.8*

(In reply to comment #10) > By permissions, I am referring to the permissions of the files owned by the > package: > > %files > %defattr(-, root, root, 0755) I suppose this statement means: files: (-) keep original file permissions (mode) owner: root group: root directories: 755 (default permission or "mode" for directories) http://rpm5.org/docs/max-rpm.pdf (page 192) > %doc CHANGELOG COPYING README > %{_bindir}/%{name}* > %{_mandir}/man8/%{name}.8* > > What I'm asking is, do you really want parprouted to be executable by root? > > If not, : > > %files > %defattr(0744, root, root, -) This statement would set 744 for all files of the package. Therefore, all files would have the execution bit on for root (the owner). Am I missing something?
Sorry, I meant: %files %defattr(-, root, root, -) %doc CHANGELOG COPYING README %attr(744,root,root,-)%{_bindir}/%{name}* %{_mandir}/man8/%{name}.8*
(In reply to comment #13) > Sorry, I meant: > > %files > %defattr(-, root, root, -) > %doc CHANGELOG COPYING README > %attr(744,root,root,-)%{_bindir}/%{name}* > %{_mandir}/man8/%{name}.8* I can change it, but this produces exactly the same result as using (-,root, root, 0755). The directories were already 755. I also finished the review of the cddlib package. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464074 and I cannot go any further. It would be good to have you opinion there. Thanks.
So it does. Never mind. :)
Another practice review: tcl-mysqltcl The person who submitted it does not have a sponsor yet, though. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466047 Thanks.
Hi, Jon the owner of tcl-mysqltcl have posted another .src.rpm, which I think is adequate, based on the discussion we had there. Should I make a final evaluation of tcl-mysqltcl, or this is not necessary? I have also oppened a Fedora account (user roma). Can you add your name there as my sponsor? Thanks.
I think I've seen enough evidence that you're on the right track, and your package is ready, so APPROVED and I've sponsored your account. Go ahead and import and build, and ping me with any questions. Also feel free to go back to any of the practice reviews and work them to completion, since you can now review officially and approve once ready. I'd also advise doing reviews for others regularly, it's good practice and a great way to learn.
Hi, Jon no doubt that the revision process, of even apparently simple packages, is not as easy as I thought it would be. Furthermore, the quick response of several other packages is really amazing. I have submitted, some time ago, an interesting python package called pygle: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468298 Would you mind taking a look at it? Thanks for you patience and guidance.
Sure, want to take a look at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452108 cfdg, the dep, is just hitting F-9 now.
Thanks, Jon here it is the updated URL (either one is good). SRPM URL: http://orion.lcg.ufrj.br/RPMS/src/parprouted-0.70-3.fc8.src.rpm http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/parprouted-0.70-3.fc8.src.rpm New Package CVS Request ======================= Package Name: parprouted Short Description: Proxy ARP IP bridging daemon Owners: roma Branches: F-8 F-9
cvs done.
Hi, I built the package and used bodhi for moving it to testing: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/userinfo?packageOrder=-blocked&userID=866&buildOrder=-completion_time&buildStart=0#packagelist However, I did understand why there is only one tag "dist f-8". What does this mean? My previous CVS Request did not include the devel (F10) branch. Although I could build parprouted for F10, I could not send it for testing. Should I do another CVS Request for F10? Use make tag? Finally, what is the rule for moving a package from testing to stable? Could it have gone to stable directly? Thanks.
when you run fedora-cvs parprouted the directory F-10 is created ? if yes, then I belive you will able to push updates in bodhi after F10 released. someone will notify when bodhi start accepting updates for F10 if not, then you need to ask cvs for F-10

it seems that the package is in F-10 and built in F-8/F-9 Can this bug be closed ?
