SRPM URL: http://cern.ch/straylen/rpms/snoopy/snoopy-1.6.1-1.el5.src.rpm
Description: 
Snoopy is designed to aid a sysadmin by providing a log of commands
executed. Snoopy is completely transparent to the user and applications.
It is linked into programs to provide a wrapper around calls to execve().
Logging is done via syslog.

MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review.[1]

MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. [10]

Not done. And there is no %postun section.

Please address this last piece.

Final changes:

1. Please remove the code to add and remove entries to /etc/ld.so.preload. On Fedora installing a package should not change default behavior like this. Instead, provide instructions to the admin for how to preload the library.

2. Both %post and %postun need to call ldconfig. Please see:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Shared_Libraries

With those changes, I'll approve this package.

That's done, have added a README.Fedora instead.

They did already but do now as well.

Comment 7 Steve Traylen 2010-08-04 14:47:03 UTC
Hi Darryl,

Thanks for the review.

Thinking about this package, I think that given this is override
via preload to glibc which is of course in /lib64 then I think
this preload should also be in /lib64 rather than /usr/lib64.

Not a good change to make immediately after review hence this comment
in case you have any comment.

Comment 8 Darryl L. Pierce 2010-08-04 15:07:55 UTC
If the change is solely in where the library is installed, then I'm okay with it.

Comment 9 Kevin Fenzi 2010-08-05 17:09:57 UTC
Git done (by process-git-requests).
