Comment 1 Susi Lehtola 2010-02-02 10:29:02 UTC
Wouldn't running
 find src -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
be easier?

Comment 2 Terje Røsten 2010-02-02 11:53:47 UTC
Might be, I just don't like the -exec construction and I love to pipe!

Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2010-03-17 22:05:31 UTC
Why are you bundling client.pem and server.pem with other documentation? I don't think it's a good idea to distribute x509 certificates with private keys like that. Everybody should always generate their own certificates and private keys.

Fedora review uperf-1.0.3-0.1.beta.fc12.src.rpm 2010-03-18

+ OK
! needs attention

rpmlint output:
uperf.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) modelling -> modeling, model ling, model-ling
uperf.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US modelling -> modeling, model ling, model-ling
uperf.i686: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) modelling -> modeling, model ling, model-ling
uperf.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US modelling -> modeling, model ling, model-ling
3 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings.

I think rpmlint warning about "modelling" -> "modeling" is wrong. AFAIK both "modelling" and "modeling" are fine for US English. You can change this if you want to get rid of the rpmlint warning, but I believe it to be just noise.

I think it would be better to install the .xml workload profile files in %{_datadir}/uperf/. The files aren't just examples; they are pretty useful if you want to quickly try out uperf. Now if some user of uperf sets up a script to use these .xml files from the current location (/usr/share/doc/uperf-1.0.3), he needs to hardcode that directory in the script file. However, putting these profile files in %{_datadir}/uperf/ instead has the benefit that
 a) the directory name remains the same even if you update to uperf 1.0.4,
 b) it's more standard location, as both archlinux pkgbuild and an opensuse rpm I found put the files in /usr/share/uperf/ instead.

Also, /usr/share/doc/uperf-1.0.3/workloads/ currently contains Makefile* files which need to be removed.
