Since folks are checking over their packages for the correct license tags and rebuilding for various other reasons, I thought I would add another one to the mix. ;)
I wrote up a quick and dirty script to check the sources that are in the cvs look aside cache against the upstream source of the package as pulled from the URI(s) in the Sources line(s).
Of course this has a number of limitations:
- Only Sources lines with full URI's can be checked.
- I'm not currently checking Patches with full URI's, but I can add
that if there is interest.
You can find the results file at:
http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/sourcecheck/sourcecheck.out
or maybe: http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/sourcecheck.out :)
And also attached to this mail.
Lines in the output are of three forms:
- BADURL:base-file-name:$PACKAGENAME
This means that the URI provided in the Source(s) line didn't result in a download of the source. This could be any of: URL changed, version changed and URL wasn't updated, Site is down, Site is gone, etc. Also there are a number of packages with incorrect sourceforge links.
What constitutes a good sourceforge link these days?
