Comments:
a) Koji build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=147306519
b) Consider packaging the documentation, there are markdown and html files (no javascript)
c) Approved. Consider implementing (b) before import.
d) If time allows, please review one of:

Thank you for your review! I've considered those documentation files. The 'master' files are the markdown files, i.e. from those the man pages and html files are generated. The main package currently installs: /usr/share/man/man1/djbsort-fulltest.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/djbsort-speed.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/djbsort-test.1.gz /usr/share/doc/libdjbsort/readme.md /usr/share/doc/libdjbsort/security.md /usr/share/licenses/libdjbsort/license.md The devel currently installs: /usr/share/man/man3/djbsort.3.gz which is generated from doc/api.md. Thus, the packages currently exclude: doc/changes.md -> moved to download doc/comparison.md -> comparison with other sorting libraries, better suited for a paper/article, arguably doc/download.md -> basically the download page with a bit of changelog doc/install.md -> only relevant when building the library from source doc/internals.md -> arguably only relevant when hacking on the library itself doc/refs.md -> extensive references, arguably only relevant when reviewing internals and benchmarks doc/speed.md -> benchmark page where the plots are online doc/verif.md -> only relevant if you are interested in the formal verification of the sort functions So my rationale is to prefer man pages over markdown, include markdown files that add to man pages and provide information that is useful to a 'typical' user over the library and avoid redundant files (in different formats). I'm open to add more doc files if there is strong demand, but currently I feel that it's a balanced selection. --- I'll check your review links.
