Summary: Review Request: fail2ban - Ban IPs that make too many password failures https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220789 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-12-28 11:24 EST ------- Well, A. First for general packaging issue of this package: E: fail2ban only-non-binary-in-usr-lib ! Well, for this package moving all files in /usr/lib to %{_datadir} seems very easy and I recommend it (currently not a blocker, however would you contact with upstream?) * And... for this package the directory is /usr/lib, not %{_libdir}!! You can check this by setup.py (hard-coded) W: fail2ban service-default-enabled /etc/rc.d/init.d/fail2ban * Umm.. I think this should be avoided. This warning is due to the line --------------------------------------------------------------- # chkconfig: 345 91 9 --------------------------------------------------------------- of /etc/rc.d/init.d/fail2ban . The description "345" means that fail2ban service is automatically enabled when installed on the level of 3-5 (man 8 chkconfig) And... > The service may be enabled, but in absence of > /etc/fail2ban.conf (which is the default) it will not start. * I think only the default behaviour of this script is unkind because fail2ban won't start but no error message is printed out. Current message is: ------------------------------------------------------ Starting fail2ban: ------------------------------------------------------ Some messages like ------------------------------------------------------ Starting fail2ban: configulation file not found [ FAILED ] ------------------------------------------------------ should be printed out. Also, the exit status of the failure should not be 0. Even I copyed /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf.iptables to /etc/fail2ban.conf, no message is printed out. Some messages which tells that starting daemon succeeded should be printed out. Well, then... B. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines : ! Licensing - Well, this package is licensed under GPL, however, GPL document is not included in source tarball. Currently this is not a blocker, however, please ask the upstream to include GPL document to source tarball. ! Filesystem Layout - Described above (not a blocker) - My opinion is fail2ban should be under %{_sbindir}. - Usually config files of initscripts should be under %{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig * Scriptlets requirements ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets ) - For /sbin/chkconfig and etc Please write Requires(post): /sbin/chkconfig and others - condrestart scriptlet on %postun stage is needed * File and Directory Ownership - My opinion is that this package should own /var/log/fail2ban as a ghost file. C. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines : = Okay, except for written in A and B. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
