Description Ville Skyttä 2005-10-15 12:21:55 UTC
http://cachalot.mine.nu/4/SRPMS/pscan-1.2-0.1.src.rpm

PScan is a program which attempts to scan C source files for common
function abuses, which often lead to buffer overflows.

Comment 1 Adrian Reber 2005-10-16 10:18:12 UTC
* sources match upstream
* rpmlint is happy
* spec looks good
* clean installation and removal
* builds in mock

APPROVED

Oh, the summary is indeed correct: "Limited problem scanner" I have tried it on
some files on my system and it has not found even one problem :-)

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2005-10-16 10:54:55 UTC
Yep, the functionality is indeed quite limited, but sometimes useful anyway.   
For an example, run it eg. on the unpatched vanilla upstream sources of the 
latest up-imapproxy package in extras.  
  
Thanks for the review, imported; will build when the buildsys is in better  
shape again.

Successfully built for FC-4 and devel.
