please fix 1 - BuildRoot -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#BuildRoot 2- BuildRequires -> every fedora linux have kernel installed by default, doesn't need kernel in build requires, you need only kernel-devel. 3- install section please simplify things using install -Dp -m so you reduce the size of your spec file. :-)
after you fix these things, please post here the new spec file and a koji scratch build, this will speed up the review process.
Excelent recomendations Itamar, new uploads: Spec URL: http://wilmer.fedorapeople.org/files/review/vrrpd/vrrpd.spec SRPM URL: http://wilmer.fedorapeople.org/files/review/vrrpd/vrrpd-1.0-1.fc10.src.rpm Scratch Build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1376564
AFAIK Cisco is holding some patents on VRRP, so can this be part of Fedora anyway? CARP is a patent free solution.
If you have legal questions you should make the ticket block FE-Legal so that the folks who understand such things can take a look. I'll do that now.
