Summary: Package review: libipathverbs - Driver library for libibverbs Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: dledford@redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: notting@redhat.com, fedora-package-review@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Target Release: ---
libipathverbs is a simple package that provides a low level hardware driver for the libibverbs package. The current package requires libibverbs-1.1.3 or later to compile, and prebuilt versions as well as the spec file and srpm can be found on my person web page at:

rpmlint shows the following:
[dledford@firewall Package_Review]$ rpmlint libipathverbs* libipathverbs.src:11: W: unversioned-explicit-provides libibverbs-driver libipathverbs.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/libibverbs.d/ipath.driver libipathverbs.spec:11: W: unversioned-explicit-provides libibverbs-driver libipathverbs-static.x86_64: W: no-documentation 4 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings. [dledford@firewall Package_Review]$
The first and third ones are correct as it's a psuedo provides that only exists for the purpose of causing a yum install of libibverbs to pull in all the hardware drivers that make libibverbs operate.
The second is a side effect of the libibverbs package. It requires the file in this location, but the file is not user changable and should not therefore be labeled as a conf file.
The final one is because the -static package only has one file, the static library. All the docs are in the base package.
