Description Jose Pedro Oliveira 2006-09-23 11:17:21 UTC

Spec URL: 
ftp://perl.di.uminho.pt/pub/fedora/eventlog.spec
SRPM URL:
ftp://perl.di.uminho.pt/pub/fedora/eventlog-0.2.5-1.src.rpm

Description:
The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog() API
provided on UNIX systems. The major difference between EventLog and syslog
is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages.

EventLog provides an interface to build, format and output an event record.
The exact format and output method can be customized by the administrator
via a configuration file.

Notes:
* This package is a syslog-ng v2 build requirement (static library)
  A syslog-ng v2 test srpm is available at the above download directory

Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2006-09-23 16:12:09 UTC

This builds fine for me; rpmlint on the insatlled rpm says:
   W: eventlog-devel ldd-failed /usr/lib64/libevtlog.a
which is sort of expected as ldd will just return "not a dynamic executable".

This package pretty well fits the exception to the no-static-libs rule, being a
dependency of a package that needs to be statically linked so that it can run
early in the boot sequence.

Comment 2 Jason Tibbitts 2006-09-23 17:50:34 UTC

It's not necessary to have:
   Requires(post): /sbin/ldconfig
   Requires(postun): /sbin/ldconfig
since you are using the 
  %post -p /sbin/ldconfig
form for your scriptlets.  Not a blocker, of course, but /sbin/ldconfig does
show up four times in the dependency list.

* source files match upstream:
   a6bdba91f88540cc69b398fd138d86cd  eventlog-0.2.5.tar.gz
* package meets naming and packaging guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* dist tag is present.
* build root is correct.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.  License text included in package.
* latest version is being packaged.
* BuildRequires are proper.
* compiler flags are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
* package builds in mock (development, x86_64).
* package installs properly
* debuginfo package looks complete.
* rpmlint has one acceptable warning.
* final provides and requires are sane:
  eventlog-0.2.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
   libevtlog.so.0()(64bit)
   eventlog = 0.2.5-1.fc6
  =
   /sbin/ldconfig
   libevtlog.so.0()(64bit)

  eventlog-devel-0.2.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
   eventlog-devel = 0.2.5-1.fc6
  =
   eventlog = 0.2.5-1.fc6
   libevtlog.so.0()(64bit)

* %check is not present; no test suite upstream
* shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths; ldconfig called
as necessary.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* scriptlets are OK (ldconfig)
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* headers are in the -devel subpackage.
* pkgconfig file is in the -devel subpackage.
* static libraries and unversioned .so files are in the -devel subpackage.
* static libraries are acceptable in this instance.
* no libtool .la droppings.

APPROVED

The redundant requirements were removed.
Package imported and built for FC-5 and devel.

Thanks for the review.
