I don't understand what you're trying to do with this SPEC file?? This doesn't install anything.

See the guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines

Look at how to install the software on the Github page. It seems the main dependency is ATLAS, then run %configure/%make_build/%make_install from within src. Might be more complicated though.

You're right, my bad. Rookie mistake

I've modified it, please take another look at it


Thank you

This is an informal review.

- What files are installed?

In %files, it seems to be only specifying the COPYING file.  Are there any other files that get installed as part of this besides the license file?  I saw your response to Robert-André Mauchin, but I didn't see the file before now. It still looks like files are missing.
  
- %prep

In %prep, consider using `autosetup` to handle the unzipping for you. autosetup handles the peculiarities of how GitHub composes its zip files.

ex:
    %prep
    %autosetup -n %{name}-%{version}

- %build

In %build, it seems like the %configure/%make_build/%make_install macros might simplify this.

 - No:

%global debug_package %{nil}

   Do your best to generate debug symbols.

- mock

fedora-review will run mock internally, but you can also run it standalone.  It has errors from the fedora-review. I got:

ERROR: Command failed:

I went through the source and I couldn't find any other kind of documents. Documentation exists mainly in project's website

I tried but I found this a bit hard to accomplish since the source is in .  directory inside the top-level structure (/src).

I followed this suggestion and this allowed me to build it

Again, I wasn't able to build it with the macro due to differences in directory levels. Also, as per the installation instructions, you only need to run 'make'. Not sure if macro would do

I may need more insight on this. I'll research a bit more on this

I will need to go through this more deeply to check this out

Thank you for taking your time to review this, any comments, suggestions or hints are much appreciated
