Description Fabian Affolter 2009-04-19 11:12:30 UTC
Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/pwmd.spec
SRPM URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/pwmd-1.2-1.fc10.src.rpm

Project URL: http://bjk.sourceforge.net/pwmd/

Description:
Password Manager Daemon is a server that provides a way for applications
to securely store and retrieve data at a centralized location. The data is
stored in an (optionally AES256 encrypted) XML file and clients connect and
send commands to manipulate the data. Some of the features include:

* Multi-threaded. More than one client may access the data at the same
  time.
* A key cache so clients won't need to enter a key each time a file is
  opened or saved.
* Key retrieval via pinentry(1).
* Configuration file which supports file specific settings including:
  encryption iterations, cache expiration and encryption key or key file
  and more.
* Compressed data file support.
* Logging to file and/or syslog.
* Secure memory usage. PWMD will zero out memory before freeing it and
  also has the option to lock the entire process in RAM to avoid swapping
  the data to virtual memory.

* Fri Jul 17 2009 Fabian Affolter <fabian> - 2.1-1
- Removed COMMANDS from doc
- Updated to new upstream version 2.1

Comment 2 Garrett Holmstrom 2010-01-12 04:36:27 UTC
I went to do an unofficial review of the latest version, and while it seems to work on F12 it fails to build on rawhide.

As far as the spec file goes, everything seems to agree nicely with the packaging guidelines.  If you're desperate for something to fix there you could add more translations of the package metadata.

pwmd 2.2 rawhide scratch build:  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1915987

Comment 3 Fabian Affolter 2010-03-02 14:22:04 UTC
2.7 was release some time ago.  I think that it's time for an update.

Comment 4 Fabian Affolter 2010-03-15 20:04:06 UTC
The latest release is 2.0 but for this release libassuan 2.0.0 is needed.

Comment 5 Jason Tibbitts 2010-11-02 01:01:06 UTC
I note that libassuan 2.0 is in F14 and rawhide currently.

Comment 6 Ruediger Landmann 2010-11-02 23:51:00 UTC
All looks good here Fabian, although this version is -- understandably -- now quite old (current upstream is 2.18)

Nevertheless, this version still builds fine locally on F13 for me and on Koji for F15.

Some items are no longer required in the specfile, so you could remove:
 * BuildRoot: 
 * first line of %install
 * empty %build section
 * %clean section
(although not having them will cause rpmlint to cry)
