            Bug ID: 1396232
           Summary: Review Request: libkeepalive - Enable TCP keepalive in
                    dynamic binaries
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: Package Review

Spec URL: https://psutter.fedorapeople.org/libkeepalive.spec
SRPM URL: https://psutter.fedorapeople.org/libkeepalive-0.3-1.fc25.src.rpm
Description: libkeepalive is a library that enables tcp keepalive features in
glibc based binary dynamic executables, without any change in the original
program.
Fedora Account System Username: psutter

Originally I got a request for inclusion into RHEL (see private bug 1356103 for
details) but I think including this into Fedora first and then cloning from
there is the preferred method.

The library is actually quite simple: It enables TCP keepalives in binaries by
wrapping the socket() syscall and setting SO_KEEPALIVE sockopt before returning
the new socket. It is activated by setting LD_PRELOAD to it's path before
calling the binary to alter, so by default does not have any effect on other
packages.
