%define name buffer %define version 1.19 %define release 1mdk Summary: General purpose buffer program Name: %name Version: %version Release: %release License: GPL Group: Archiving/Backup Source: %name-%version.tar.bz2 Patch: buffer-1.19.patch.bz2 BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-buildroot %description This is a program designed to speed up writing tapes on remote tape drives. After startup it splits itself into two processes. The first process reads (and reblocks) from stdin into a shared memory buffer. The second writes from the shared memory buffer to stdout. Doing it this way means that the writing side effectly sits in a tight write loop and doesn't have to wait for input. Similarly for the input side. It is this waiting that slows down other reblocking processes, like dd. %prep rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %setup %patch -p1 %build make CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -Wall -s" %install install -m 755 -D buffer $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/buffer install -m 644 -D buffer.man $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man1/buffer.1 %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %defattr(-,root,root) %doc COPYING README %{_bindir}/buffer %{_mandir}/man1/buffer.1* %changelog * Thu Apr 11 2002 Lenny Cartier <lenny@mandrakesoft.com> 1.19-1mdk - added for mondo * Mon Jul 24 2000 Prospector <prospector@redhat.com> - rebuilt * Tue Jul 11 2000 Than Ngo <than@redhat.de> - rebuilt * Wed Jun 07 2000 Than Ngo <than@redhat.de> - use rpm macros * Mon Jun 05 2000 Michael Stefaniuc <mstefani@redhat.com> - rewrote the spec file - rewrote and extended the buffer patch
