Description:
Identify content management systems (CMS), blogging platforms, stats/analytic
packages, JavaScript libraries, servers and more. When you visit a website in
your browser the transaction includes many unseen hints about how the
web-server
is set up and what software is delivering the web-page. Some of these hints are
obvious, ex. “Powered by XYZ” and others are more subtle. WhatWeb recognizes
these hints and reports what it finds.

Hello,
Please could you review the package whatweb?

You should package anemone seperately:

> Add dep on ruby:

Strange - I wanted to add dependency by following guideline for ruby.
Apparently it was not enough adding the:
Requires:       ruby(abi) = 1.8

Thank you Terje for noticing that - I will add file dependency for ruby binary
as well.

Original anemone project has got some extra dependencies.
Version present in whatweb is standalone patched version of anemone without
some dependencies.

So please explain why you want to avoid additional dependency for
this package. I don't think that so huge additonal dependency will
be added. Using copy of external project is generally forbidden
on Fedora and it should be packaged:

As written on the above URLs, one of the biggest reasons is that
when a new version of the package is released for (security) bug fixes
or so, it gets very hard for us to track if such bug fixes are also
applied to ones internally bundled in other packages.

Hello Mamoru,
thank you for your comments. 
I will consider packing anemone and patching the whatweb to use sytem library
of anemone.

(In reply to comment #4)
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_li...

I believe this link is not relevant as there is currenlty no anemone library in
Fedora.
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries

However according this there probably should be one.

Rebuild of new version 0.4.5 of whatweb.
I still didn't manage to patch to separate anemone library from whatweb.

First please submit rubygem-anemome review request.
Then I guess replacing
------------------------------------------------
require 'lib/anemone/anemone.rb'
------------------------------------------------
in whatweb script to
------------------------------------------------
require 'rubygems'
require 'anemone'
------------------------------------------------
should work (if anemone 0.4.0 still supports anemone 0.2.0 API:
anemone bundled in whatweb 0.4.5 is 0.2.0, while the latest anemone
is 0.4.0)

--- Comment #15 from Bug Zapper  2010-11-03 11:52:32 EDT ---

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

I am sorry - It is not in my powers to separate the anemone library from the
package. The package works for me as is and separation is not supported by the
upstream.

I am stepping down from pushing this package to Fedora.
