Description: 

libmemcached is a C client library to the memcached server
(http://danga.com/memcached). It has been designed to be light on memory
usage, and provide full access to server side methods.

It also implements several command line tools:

memcat - Copy the value of a key to standard output.
memflush - Flush the contents of your servers.
memrm - Remove a key(s) from the server.
memstat - Dump the stats of your servers to standard output.
memslap - Generate testing loads on a memcached cluster.
memcp - Copy files to memcached servers.
memerror - Creates human readable messages from libmemcached error codes.

---------
libmemcached is required by some memcached client.
I will submit php-pecl-memcached for review.

Comment 1 Terje Røsten 2009-04-27 16:10:52 UTC
Could not find any issues except license stuff.

Could you please check with Brian that all files have BSD license.

Seems like the hash files crc.c, hsieh_hash.c jenkins_hash.c md5.c and murmur_hash.c need special attention in this regard.

Comment 2 Remi Collet 2009-04-27 17:30:08 UTC
----------- Mail to Brian :
I haven't do a full license review of your code... (shame on me)

It's seems that some files are provided by external sources.

Have you some information about how do this license apply to your project :

crc.c => ??
hsieh_hash.c => http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/weblicense.html
jenkins_hash.c => http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/index.html
md5.c => RSA ??
murmur_hash.c => http://murmurhash.googlepages.com/ is "public domain"

At least some of them (RSA notice) should be distributed in the
library/RPM documentation (perhaps a COPYING.xxx and in AUTHORS file).

------------ Response from Brian
We leave the external copyright in the top. All other code is BSD. If someone needed to chop something out they could with ease.

Comment 3 Terje Røsten 2009-04-28 20:40:28 UTC
I have sent a mail to spot to assist.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2009-04-28 20:51:25 UTC
Looking at those files:

crc.c: BSD [OK]
hsieh_hash.c: New license [Checking with RH Legal]
jenkins_hash.c: Copyright Only (I will interpret "Do NOT use for cryptographic purposes." as advice after the license, rather than license terms, since it conflicts with "You may use this code any way you wish". The upstream for this file should really change that line to say "We do not recommend that you use this code for cryptographic purposes.") [OK]
md5.c: BSD [OK]
murmur_hash.c: Public Domain [OK] (They really should have a proper declaration for PD on their website, but I'll let it slide)

As soon as I hear back on the hsieh licensing, I'll comment.

Comment 5 Tom "spot" Callaway 2009-04-29 00:07:03 UTC
Red Hat Legal says the hsieh licenses are non-free. Hopefully, you should be able to delete that hsieh_hash.c file in %pre without any difficulty.

Comment 6 Remi Collet 2009-04-29 06:39:44 UTC
@tom : thanks for this.

I will work on a build whithout hsieh_hash.c (I don't understand what you mean about %pre, should be deleted in %prep and Makefile patched to not try to use it)

Comment 7 Remi Collet 2009-04-29 08:09:33 UTC
------------ Response from Brian
Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into adding a configure switch to disable it!

Comment 8 Tom "spot" Callaway 2009-04-29 12:18:20 UTC
I meant %prep, not %pre. :) Sorry!

Comment 9 Remi Collet 2009-05-01 06:35:06 UTC
Upstream have push a new configure with hsieh hash method disabled by default.

Here a updated RPM using this patch
