fix `/usr/share/doc/circuslinux-1.0.3': Permission denied
in mkinstalldirs script in %install section

Can you give me a hint what is wrong, because I don't have this Permission denied anywhere.

OK, found on an other machine, with not so messed up permissions, what you mean

Release number is now 4 and changelog is updated.
Description entirely changed.

Damian this bug is several years old at this point.

Are you intending to revisit this, find a sponsor and complete the packaging process?

As per stalled review policy if there is no response within a week this bug will be closed.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews

Messing with the "Assignee To" field or the "fedora-review" flag can lead to hiding this ticket from the needsponsor queue:

  http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/

(!) It has not been displayed on that queue since 2010-05-30 due to that.

Meanwhile, it seems the files are no longer available.

It has been over a week and the requestor has not responded to a NeedsInfo flag.

Closing as per policy.
