Hello Delyan,

I found your package interesting, so I tried to build it, but the build fails on all arches in rawhide, see the logs from this scratch build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=21483571
There are some syntax errors in your spec file (the missing / that causes the build to fail, hardcoded paths instead of macros, the extraneous %clean section, etc.) and the %changelog section usually comes at the end.

I am not in the sponsors group, so I can't help you there. Having glanced at your spec file, I would suggest that you follow the steps outlined in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers

I'm pretty sure that once you introduce yourself on the devel mailing list a sponsor will turn up. In the meantime, it would be a good idea to get acquainted with the various aspects of packaging in fedora, e.g.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
and
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines
cover a lot of topics. When you feel more at ease with the whole process, you could do a couple of informal reviews, so that your prospective sponsor can see your grasp of things.

If you get stuck or if you would like to ask any questions, feel free to do so on the devel list or irc channel.

Best of luck
Alexander

Hello Alexander,

Thank you for your advises and the problem was that " %{_unitdir} " macro require " BuildRequires: systemd-units " into spec file. The results could you see:

Also I will introduce myself in the devel mailing list for sponsorship.
