https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2310159 Bug ID: 2310159 Summary: Review Request: bpftool - Management of eBPF programs and maps Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: vmalik@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Spec URL: https://vmalik.fedorapeople.org/bpftool.spec SRPM URL: https://vmalik.fedorapeople.org/bpftool-7.4.0-1.fc42.src.rpm Description: This package contains the bpftool, which allows inspection and simple manipulation of eBPF programs and maps. Fedora Account System Username: vmalik bpftool is not a new package, it is currently built as a part of kernel RPM build (because its source files are a part of the kernel source tree). This is a request to move it to a separate package which will be built from the official GitHub mirror [1]. There are two main reasons for this change: 1. bpftool version is independent of the kernel and having it in the kernel spec causes all kinds of problems, 2. bpftool is loosely coupled to the libbpf library which is also packaged separately [2]. This change is accompanied by removing bpftool package build from kernel specfile [3].
