patchelf

This repository contains Fedora RPM source packages that aren't available in the Fedora EPEL repository, yet.

The source packages are built using the Fedora COPR service and the resulting binary RPM packages are thus available in the corresponding COPR repository: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/gsauthof/epel/

Notable Packages

  • patchelf - useful for displaying and setting link related attributes (like RPATH, SONAME, ...) of an executable/shared-library

Design Decisions

The repository contains .copr/Makefile for building the SRPM from the .spec inside the COPR-Environment. Choosing the makefile build method over the default rpkg one has the following reasons:

  1. rpkg auto-downloads all referenced sources without verification - this has the obvious security implications, especially for HTTP sources
  2. rpkg doesn't properly substitute custom macros (Example: ghex spec file)
