Announcing rpminspect-1.2
Yesterday I released rpminspect-1.2 along with
rpminspect-data-fedora-1.2. For details on the new inspections,
fixes, and improvements, please see:
https://www.burdell.org/posts/2020/Oct/26/rpminspect-12-released/
The new inspections in this release are:
config - Checks %config files in packages
doc - Checks %doc files in packages
patches - Reports changes for Patch files defined in spec files
virus - Checks for any viruses
politics - Implements the politics rules files for product releases
A big improvement is rpminspect detecting if builds being compared are
a rebase or not. A rebase is one where the package names match but
the version numbers do not. A rebased build will still report the
same things, but the severity level on most things will be lowered to
INFO. The reason for this is most rebased builds expect significant
changes, so we can still what those are but not fail the comparison.
BUG REPORTING AND FEATURE REQUESTS:
I really appreciate the feedback and bug reports from everyone.
Please continue reporting issues and RFEs here:

DATA PACKAGES:
The rpminspect-data-fedora package provides the rules for Fedora
package builds. Since multiple vendor data packages can exist on the
system, rpminspect-data-fedora provides a wrapper script so you can
easily run rpminspect with the Fedora rule set:
/usr/bin/rpminspect-fedora
WHERE TO GET BUILDS:
rpminspect and rpminspect-data-fedora are built in Fedora and EPEL.
Specifically: Fedora 31, Fedora 32, Fedora 33, rawhide, EPEL 7, and
EPEL 8. Updates have been submitted to Bodhi and you can find the
packages in the updates-testing repo for those releases. If you
install these, please consider commenting on the Bodhi update to
accelerate it's promotion to the stable updates repo.
If you encounter any problems with packages in these repos, let me
know.
VIEWING RESULTS
Aside from being able to run rpminspect locally, Fedora CI runs
rpminspect on completed builds. These results can be found in the
Bodhi web interface at:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org
If you do not see rpminspect results for your build, let us know.
QUESTIONS:
For Fedora questions, please ask in either #fedora-ci or you can ask
me directly.
You may email me at dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx or find me on FreeNode as
