Spec URL: http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/flexiport/flexiport.spec
SRPM URL:
http://rmattes.fedorapeople.org/RPMS/flexiport/flexiport-2.0.0-1.20111231git.fc17.x86_64.rpm

Description: 
Flexiport provides a consistent interface for communicating over a range of
data port types. Currently serial (including serial-over-USB), TCP and UDP
ports are supported. Logging is supported which allows communications sessions
to be played back at a later date without the original hardware present.

rpmlint:

$ rpmlint flexiport.spec ../RPMS/x86_64/flexiport-*
flexiport.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: flexiport-2.0.0.tar.bz2
3 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

This is OK, the tarball is a git snapshot, and instructions for duplicating it
are in the spec file comments.

Flexiport is currently included in the "gearbox" package, but the latest
upstream release of gearbox made a shift from GPL to the Eclipse public
license.  The copyright holder of flexiport re-licensed the flexiport library
separately under the LGPL and is hosting it separately on github.  The GPL
licensed Player package can't be distributed when built against an Eclipse
licensed gearbox, but it can when built against the LGPL-licensed flexiport.  

Once this package is accepted, I will upgrade gearbox to the latest upstream
eclipse licensed release(10.04), make the flexiport package conflict with
earlier versions (<= 9.11), and submit flexiport to the stable repos.
