Quick eyes only scan of the spec file. 1. You might want to use GitHub source URL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL?rd=Packaging/SourceURL#Git_Hosting_Services 2. Why is the binary located in sbin? 3. You probably want to install https://github.com/donovan6000/M3D-Linux/blob/master/90-m3d-local.rules or depend on 3dprinter-udev-rules to enable user level access to the printer (test if the second works).
Also, since the executable is named m3d-linux, I'd recommend to name the package also in lower case and maybe put M3D-Linux as virtual provide if it seems necessary to you.
%global gitdate 20160526 The commit d0bbb03 is dated to 20160120.
The packaging follows how I have done some X drivers that do not have proper upstream releases. the gitdate is the date checked out not when the code was committed. I will add a Requires on 3dprinter-udev-rules. The upstream Makefile puts the binary in sbin. In testing even though I can read and write to /dev/ttyACM0 trying to run m3d-linux without using sudo gives "Elevated privileges required" which is likely a bug in the code
What's the status with this?
closing this as my printer died. and the software was renamed at the request of the hardware vendor
