Summary: Review Request: gensio - General Stream I/O
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium
Priority: medium

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: https://heffer.fedorapeople.org/review/gensio/gensio.spec
SRPM URL:
https://heffer.fedorapeople.org/review/gensio/gensio-2.6.5-3.fc39.src.rpm
Description: This is gensio (pronounced gen'-see-oh), a framework for giving a
consistent
view of various stream (and packet) I/O types. You create a gensio object (or
a gensio), and you can use that gensio without having to know too much about
what is going on underneath. You can stack gensio on top of another one to add
protocol functionality. For instance, you can create a TCP gensio, stack SSL on
top of that, and stack Telnet on top of that. It supports a number of network
I/O and serial ports. gensios that stack on other gensios are called filters.
You can do the same thing with receiving ports. You can set up a gensio
accepter (accepter) to accept connections in a stack. So in our previous
example, you can setup TCP to listen on a specific port and automatically stack
SSL and Telnet on top when the connection comes in, and you are not informed
until everything is ready.
A very important feature of gensio is that it makes establishing encrypted and
authenticated connections much easier than without it. Beyond basic key
management, it's really no harder than TCP or anything else. It offers extended
flexibility for controlling the authentication process if needed. It's really
easy to use.
Note that the gensio(5) man page has more details on individual gensio types.

Notes:
1. The release on the SRPM is -3. I built it in my local Git repository using
fedpkg and that repository has 3 commits. It will automatically revert to -1
once imported to dist-git.
2. You will encounter the following rpmlint errors / warnings:
gensio.spec: W: patch-not-applied - This is due to a bug in rpmlint:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpmlint/issues/1074, patches are
applied in %forgeautosetup
gensio.x86_64: E: missing-call-to-setgroups-before-setuid /usr/sbin/gtlsshd
- This is technically a non-issue, see
https://github.com/cminyard/gensio/issues/59
3. You will encounter unversioned so-files in the package's libexecdir. These
are plugins specific to the library. Nothing but the library is supposed to
load or link against them. There are also the native Python 3 modules which
have unversioned so-files. This is specific to how Python and Swig operate.
4. Patches are, as can be seen by their URL, already all upstream and should be
in the next release.
