Comment 1 Ranjan Maitra 2015-12-02 04:27:43 UTC
Does this package still need a review?

Comment 2 James Wrigley 2015-12-02 18:44:02 UTC
Yes.

Comment 3 Ranjan Maitra 2015-12-02 20:44:51 UTC
I am an unofficial reviewer. But I can provide my review of this package, FWIW,  since I have used the software in the past. Could you please, however, update the src.rpm to build with Fedora 23?

Thanks!

Comment 7 Ranjan Maitra 2015-12-05 20:37:25 UTC
I have reviewed your package and here is my report. Note that I also used fedora-review tool which I would suggest you do, also. Some of the responses from fedora-review tool, I believe, are not useful to your package, but many others, eg: licensing are. 

You will need to create a mock account (after instalation of mock) and then run:

$ fedora-review -m fedora-rawhide-x86_64 -b 1118885

(Note: because of a bug, fedora-review hangs almost interminably, but eventually does terminate.)

Sorry, wanted to add that the review log has the following:

Not sure about these errors: I have all the requires installed.)

Comment 10 Ranjan Maitra 2020-04-22 16:07:05 UTC
I think that this packaging is going nowhere. Which is unfortunate because reviewers (in this case me) spend time on providing reviews which are not acted upon.

Comment 11 Petr Pisar 2020-04-23 06:50:41 UTC
If you want to review the package, you need to follow the procedure <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process#Reviewer>. Especially assign this bug report to yourself, change a state of the bug to ASSIGNED, and set "fedora-review" flag to 
"?". So far nobody have done it.

Comment 12 Ranjan Maitra 2020-04-23 12:47:11 UTC
I did review this package in 2015, according to the procedures in place then, when I was only eligible to be an unofficial reviewer, but nothing came of it in the sense that there was no action on the suggestions taken by the submitter. I am not sure if there is any value in progressing further without any assurance that the submitter is interested. In fact, the submitted links do not work. But you can feel free to take it over also.

Comment 13 Package Review 2021-04-24 00:45:24 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.

Comment 14 Package Review 2021-05-24 00:45:28 UTC
This is an automatic action taken by review-stats script.

The ticket submitter failed to clear the NEEDINFO flag in a month.
As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews
we consider this ticket as DEADREVIEW and proceed to close it.
