Comment 2 Tom Hughes 2015-10-07 17:43:34 UTC
Quite a few things here:

[!]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
     Note: Directories without known owners: /usr/lib/pkgconfig

Need to require pkgconfig, and in any case it should be lib64
for both this and the library on x86_64.

[!]: %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise.

Need to get $RPM_OPT_FLAGS in there.

[!]: Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).

Use %{_bindir}, %{_libdir} etc in file lists.

[!]: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate
     file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.

MIT license requires text so we will need to add it locally
until upstream do.

[!]: %check is present and all tests pass.

There are tests, any chance of running them?

[!]: Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.

See fedora-review output.

Also no version number in changelog header.

Comment 3 Tom Hughes 2015-10-07 17:43:58 UTC
Also, per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries we should be trying to build it as a shared library if possible...

Comment 5 Package Review 2021-07-11 00:45:24 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.
