Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2016-11-19 22:16:56 UTC
*** Bug 1277260 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Till Maas 2016-11-20 09:12:38 UTC
- The SRPM URL does not work, the rofi directory does not exist at https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/region51/
- It would be better to use %{_mandir}/man1/%{name}.1* instead of %{_mandir}/man1/%{name}.1.* as a pattern for the manpage to make it also work if manpages are not compressed.

Comment 3 Till Maas 2016-11-20 09:14:54 UTC
Also there is a newer upstream release: 1.2.0

And the upstream page says it needs a new maintainer :-(

Comment 4 Igor Gnatenko 2016-11-20 09:33:45 UTC
SPEC: https://ignatenkobrain.fedorapeople.org/for-review/rofi.spec
SRPM: https://ignatenkobrain.fedorapeople.org/for-review/rofi-1.2.0-1.fc26.src.rpm

Fixed all above and updated to 1.2.0. Also fixed couple of rpmlint complaints.

Comment 5 Till Maas 2016-12-11 10:29:47 UTC
I found three issues but they should be easy to fix AFAICS.

Is this still active? I just submitted #1509679 without realizing that there was already a review request for rofi.

If it's still active, I'll close mine in favor of yours.

Will add.

> - The checks are ignored instead and the upstream bug is closed
While I agree running check is good, I don't really have time to work on it now..

> - The timestamps of the files modified in %prep are not preserved
I don't think this is really issue, no one preserves timestamps unfortunately.

> If it's still active, I'll close mine in favor of yours.
I would like to get it finally done. So now I promise that I will fix all issues next week!

Comment 10 Igor Gnatenko 2017-11-05 19:07:16 UTC
Or, rather, now. Working on it.

What's the status here? Till, are you still working on the review? I can help out with the review if you want. It would be nice to see rofi in Fedora :)

Hey Till, thank you for your offer, please take it from here.

You're missing BR: bison

To be more elaborate, the build fails with:
> checking for bison... no
> checking for byacc... no
> BUILDSTDERR: configure: error: "Failed to find bison"

Comment 17 Till Maas 2018-05-24 20:32:04 UTC
Igor, would you please add the BR for bison?

Comment 18 Till Hofmann 2018-06-25 14:02:05 UTC
Igor, what's the status here?

I would submit another review request if you're no longer interested in / have time to packaging rofi.

Comment 19 Till Hofmann 2018-07-13 18:17:21 UTC
This review seems to be stalled.

@Igor, are you still interested in this package?

Comment 20 Viktor Ashirov 2018-11-01 14:57:02 UTC
I'd like to see rofi in Fedora someday. Igor, Till, any updates on this?

Comment 21 Till Hofmann 2018-11-01 19:11:23 UTC
I reopened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1509679
