Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~mlichvar/tmp/chrony.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~mlichvar/tmp/chrony-1.23-1.20081106gitbe42b4.fc10.src.rpm Description: A client/server for the Network Time Protocol, this program keeps your computer's clock accurate. It was specially designed to support systems with dial-up Internet connections, and also supports computers in permanently connected environments.
formal review is here, see the notes below: OK source files match upstream: f0c6b32099329f358dbdb4f62753d2c7cbc13c79 chrony-1.23.tar.gz OK package meets naming and versioning guidelines. OK specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently. OK dist tag is present. OK build root is correct. OK license field matches the actual license. OK license is open source-compatible (GPLv2). License text included in package. OK latest version is being packaged. OK BuildRequires are proper. OK compiler flags are appropriate. OK %clean is present. OK package builds in mock (Rawhide/x86_64). OK debuginfo package looks complete. ?? rpmlint is silent. OK final provides and requires look sane. N/A %check is present and all tests pass. OK no shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths. OK owns the directories it creates. OK doesn't own any directories it shouldn't. OK no duplicates in %files. OK file permissions are appropriate. ?? correct scriptlets present. OK code, not content. OK documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary. OK %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package. OK no headers. OK no pkgconfig files. OK no libtool .la droppings. OK not a GUI app. - rpmlint complains a bit chrony.src:52: W: configure-without-libdir-spec hand-crafted configure script, can be ignored chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid /var/lib/chrony chrony chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-gid /var/lib/chrony chrony chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid /var/log/chrony chrony chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-gid /var/log/chrony chrony chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid /var/lib/chrony/rtc chrony chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-gid /var/lib/chrony/rtc chrony chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid /var/lib/chrony/drift chrony chrony.x86_64: W: non-standard-gid /var/lib/chrony/drift chrony OK chrony.x86_64: E: non-readable /etc/chrony.keys 0600 OK chrony.x86_64: W: log-files-without-logrotate /var/log/chrony does chrony rotate the logs itself or ...? - the texinfo postun scriptlet is called at wrong occasion (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Texinfo)
chrony doesn't rotate the logs, but there is a small problem that it keeps the files open. It needs to be told to release them by cyclelogs command which requires authorization which requires a valid commandkey in chrony.keys file. I'll try to fix both issues and post an update.
http://fedorapeople.org/~mlichvar/tmp/chrony-1.23-2.20081106gitbe42b4.fc10.src.rpm * Wed Nov 19 2008 Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@redhat.com> 1.23-2.20081106gitbe42b4 - fix info uninstall - generate random command key in init script - support cyclelogs, online, offline commands in init script - add logrotate script
All issues are fixed, so this package is APPROVED. One final note - the Guidelines recommend that you add a comment nearby the patches that tracks their upstream status: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/PatchUpstreamStatus
