Description Marcela Mašláňová 2009-04-29 13:00:54 UTC
Spec URL: http://mmaslano.fedorapeople.org/review/perl-YAML-LibYAML.spec
SRPM URL: http://mmaslano.fedorapeople.org/review/perl-YAML-LibYAML-0.32-1.fc11.src.rpm
Description:
Kirill Siminov's "libyaml" is arguably the best YAML
implementation. The C library is written precisely to the YAML 1.1
specification. It was originally bound to Python and was later
bound to Ruby.

13:42 <marca_> do you need my help or can you take them in EPEL?
13:42 <tremble> I'm quite happy to take them in EPEL, just need your approval as the Fedora owner
13:43 <marca_> ok, so I only write into bz comment
13:43 <tremble> Ok
13:44 <tremble> Would you prefer to be in there as a co-owner or would you rather just leave the EL branches to me?
13:45  * tremble thanks you.
13:45 <marca_> no, I don't have time for EL. Take it

Perl YAML-LibYAML bundles libyaml.

lib/YAML/XS.pm:

> This module is a Perl XS binding to libyaml which offers Perl the best

However this is not just a binding. This a pure bundling because LibYAML directory copies yaml sources:

$ find -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h'
./LibYAML/yaml_private.h
./LibYAML/yaml.h
./LibYAML/parser.c
./LibYAML/writer.c
./LibYAML/scanner.c
./LibYAML/perl_libyaml.h
./LibYAML/dumper.c
./LibYAML/loader.c
./LibYAML/api.c
./LibYAML/perl_libyaml.c
./LibYAML/emitter.c
./LibYAML/config.h
./LibYAML/ppport_sort.h
./LibYAML/ppport.h
./LibYAML/reader.c

How is possible this review has passed?

Comment 10 Parag AN(पराग) 2014-03-27 12:23:42 UTC
Just wonder then how this can be detected in Automated Review Server???

looks like above is related to recently filed security bugs.

If bundled code does not mangle function names, one can check symbols from debuginfo against exported symbols from system libraries.

Or one can check compilation source file names or compilation unit names between debuginfo packages. I've already receieved a bug report based on this heuristic.

However this is the reason why the Automated Review Server, whatever it is, will never supersede human reviewer and thus I believe Fedora will always require human reviews.

> looks like above is related to recently filed security bugs.

Yes.

Comment 12 Parag AN(पराग) 2014-03-27 13:30:34 UTC
Petr,

I just checked the package and found its bundling the source of libyaml which should have been checked at the time of initial package review but looks like got overlooked.

Should this need FESCo ticket for exception? if not then this package need to be dropped.

Comment 13 Petr Pisar 2014-03-27 13:55:23 UTC
We will try to unbundle it.
