Description:
Mumble is a voip client server package.  I'm trying to add it to EPEL together with the celt071 package.  This package is rebuild of recent mumble package from Fedora with some minor tweaks to make it buildable on el7.

This is an unusual request for various reasons. 

You're asking for a re-review of a package included in the package collection. Especially since you've not added a %changelog comment about your "minor tweaks".

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Changelogs


A much better approach would be to contact the existing Fedora packagers and then choose one of the steps mentioned at:

> #Due to naming issues, celt071 is required explicitly
> Requires:       celt071

Note that "naming issues" might not suffice. More likely, the real reason is a missing automatic dependency on the libcelt SONAME, because the package does this:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root                       22 Aug  4 05:16 /usr/lib64/mumble/libcelt.so.0.7.0 -> ../libcelt071.so.0.0.0

As such, an explicit dependency on "celt071" is too weak. You want it to be arch-specific as in:

Comment 2 Carl George 2018-12-05 15:45:57 UTC 
As noted, this needs to be accomplished by adding an epel7 branch to the existing mumble package.
