           Summary: Review Request: sparse
           Product: Fedora Extras
           Version: devel
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: Package Review
        AssignedTo: bugzilla-sink at leemhuis.info
        ReportedBy: bkyoung at users.sourceforge.net

Spec Name or Url: Attached as sparse.spec
SRPM Name or Url: Must build separately
Description: A C semantic parser.

While flailing and failing to resolve a kernel issue, I followed this "sparse" tangent and now have a sparse RPM for Fedora.

The Linux kernel build system directly supports sparse, and including it in Fedora Extras would be a convenience to anyone wishing to attempt to use it.

Because of compat-i386.c, the spec file may require:
ExclusiveArch:i386

The license is OSL V1.1, but exemptions included in the license imply executables linking to the library itself (sparse) are not considered "Original Work".

A kernel-2.6.spec.patch (for kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.2041) is attached to provide a convenient way to use sparse when rebuilding the kernel.

Attached are:
sparse.spec
sparse-0.1-Makefile.patch
kernel-2.6.spec.patch

To git (from git-core) tarball:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git
cd sparse
git-tar-tree HEAD sparse-0.1 | gzip > ../sparse-0.1.tar.gz

rpmlint output:
W: sparse invalid-license OSL
W: sparse-debuginfo invalid-license OSL
W: sparse-debuginfo objdump-failed 
W: sparse-devel invalid-license OSL
