Spec URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/rvm.spec SRPM URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/rvm-1.17-4.fc15.src.rpm Description: The RVM persistent recoverable memory library. The RVM library is used by the Coda distributed filesystem. NOTE: This package was previously in Fedora and was retired due to FTBFS, but it builds fine these days. It depends on lwp to build, hence, no koji rawhide scratch build.

The Review Request is not a duplicate. ############################################ I didn't install and try the (successful)scratch build of rvm(and it's sub pkgs) http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3423708 as there are some missing deps (lwp and lwp devel) -- the other two pkgs you needed. I see they're submitted for 'Package Change Request' Looks good. [I hope I didn't miss anything, I don't perform reviews as often]. This package is Approved.
