Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2009-10-14 23:13:56 UTC
Spec URL: http://pcfe.fedorapeople.org/netperf.spec
SRPM URL: http://pcfe.fedorapeople.org/netperf-4.0.0-0.rc2.1.fc11.src.rpm
Description: netperf4 being GPL2+ (as opposed to netperf2) and needing this for testing, I decided that I might as well package it up.

But, I definitely would like some more eyeballs on the spec, especially

W: configure-without-libdir-spec
  is that acceptable with this package?

W: shared-lib-calls-exit ...
  are these acceptable considering the libraries are only used by netperf?

2 zero length documentation files
  should I exclude them from %doc (as I did with NEWS) or leave them in? Especially examples/TBD seems to be there explicitly to show more examples should be coming from upstream

Is the breakup between netperf and netperf-devel OK?

Plus anything else I may have missed.

Comment 1 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2009-10-15 15:09:21 UTC
was just made aware of iperf as that's in the repos pounding netperf4 into shape is probably a waste of time.

closing this review request for now, will re-open if it turns out iperf is lacking features that netperf4 provides in a working form

Comment 3 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2009-10-16 17:05:57 UTC
new files uploaded:

Spec URL: http://pcfe.fedorapeople.org/netperf.spec
SRPM URL: http://pcfe.fedorapeople.org/netperf-4.0.0-0.rc2.3.el5.src.rpm

but man and info pages have 0 length, so not really ready for inclusion
