There was some misunderstanding, but no problem, I will do the review myself :)

===== MUST items =====

C/C++:
[x]: Package does not contain kernel modules.
[x]: Package contains no static executables.
[x]: Header files in -devel subpackage, if present.
[x]: Package does not contain any libtool archives (.la)
[x]: Rpath absent or only used for internal libs.

Generic:
[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.
[!]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. Licenses
     found: "MIT/X11 (BSD like)", "LGPL (v2.1 or later)", "GPL (v3 or
     later)", "Unknown or generated". 7 files have unknown license.
     Detailed output of licensecheck in /home/yarda/git-
     fedora/ubridge/1476608-ubridge/licensecheck.txt

I think the package should be licensed under GPLv3+ (according to comments in the sources, I wasn't able to find any other source stating that it should be under GPLv3 only.

[x]: License file installed when any subpackage combination is installed.
[x]: %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise.
[!]: Package contains no bundled libraries without FPC exception.

Package bundles 'iniparser' and part of the 'lxc' (netlink code). Could you unbundle it?

Unbundling 'iniparser' shouldn't be hard. But I am not sure about the 'lxc'. In case it's not easy to unbundle the 'lxc', it will require the 'bundled' keyword.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_libraries

[x]: Changelog in prescribed format.
[x]: Sources contain only permissible code or content.
[-]: Package contains desktop file if it is a GUI application.
[-]: Development files must be in a -devel package
[x]: Package uses nothing in %doc for runtime.
[x]: Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).
[x]: Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
[x]: Package does not generate any conflict.
[x]: Package obeys FHS, except libexecdir and /usr/target.
[-]: If the package is a rename of another package, proper Obsoletes and
     Provides are present.
[!]: Requires correct, justified where necessary.

See bundled libraries above.

[!]: Spec file is legible and written in American English.

There are two spurious whitespaces after 'BuildRequires: libpcap-devel' and after 'BuildRequires: libcap'

[-]: Package contains systemd file(s) if in need.
[x]: Useful -debuginfo package or justification otherwise.
[x]: Package is not known to require an ExcludeArch tag.
[-]: Large documentation must go in a -doc subpackage. Large could be size
     (~1MB) or number of files.
     Note: Documentation size is 20480 bytes in 1 files.
[!]: Package complies to the Packaging Guidelines

See problems above.

And the package uses capabilities, so I think it should be hardened, see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE

[x]: Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least
     one supported primary architecture.
[x]: Package installs properly.
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all rpms the build produces.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the
     license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
     license(s) for the package is included in %license.
[x]: Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
[x]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
[x]: Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.
[x]: Package uses either %{buildroot} or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
[x]: Package does not run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT) at the
     beginning of %install.
[x]: Macros in Summary, %description expandable at SRPM build time.
[x]: Dist tag is present.
[x]: Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
[x]: Permissions on files are set properly.
[x]: Package use %makeinstall only when make install DESTDIR=... doesn't
     work.
[x]: Package is named using only allowed ASCII characters.
[x]: Package does not use a name that already exists.
[x]: Package is not relocatable.
[x]: Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as
     provided in the spec URL.
[x]: Spec file name must match the spec package %{name}, in the format
     %{name}.spec.
[x]: File names are valid UTF-8.
[x]: Packages must not store files under /srv, /opt or /usr/local

===== SHOULD items =====

Generic:
[-]: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate
     file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.
[-]: Final provides and requires are sane (see attachments).
[x]: Fully versioned dependency in subpackages if applicable.
     Note: No Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} in ubridge-
     debuginfo

False positives

[?]: Package functions as described.
[x]: Latest version is packaged.
[x]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
[-]: Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains
     translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
[x]: Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
     architectures.
[-]: %check is present and all tests pass.
[!]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed
     files.

This is minor problem, but I think it should use 'cp -p' in the Makefile. Well the install time will probably match the compile time in this case, but it's generally better to has there explicitly set the compile time timestamp.

[x]: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[x]: Buildroot is not present
[x]: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
[x]: No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin.
[x]: Packager, Vendor, PreReq, Copyright tags should not be in spec file
[x]: Uses parallel make %{?_smp_mflags} macro.
[x]: Sources can be downloaded from URI in Source: tag
[x]: SourceX is a working URL.
[x]: Spec use %global instead of %define unless justified.

===== EXTRA items =====

Generic:
[x]: Rpmlint is run on debuginfo package(s).
     Note: No rpmlint messages.
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all installed packages.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: Large data in /usr/share should live in a noarch subpackage if package
     is arched.
[x]: Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.

Comment 5 Othman Madjoudj 2017-08-29 22:15:17 UTC
Thank you for reviewing, please let me know if you need to review other package in exchange.

I've unbundled iniparse (patch submitted upstream), fixed the spaces and license.
lxc netlink code is from older lxc codebase which is not provided by Fedora (there's newer release), so i added requirement with bundled prefix.

If recall correctly, hardened build is now enabled by default, you can check with: 

[athmane@devel2 ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release 
Fedora release 26 (Twenty Six)
[athmane@devel2 ~]$ rpm --eval '%{_hardened_build}'

Comment 6 Jaroslav Škarvada 2017-09-03 11:07:31 UTC
It seems OK, giving fedora_review+.

I have opened bug 1471175, it's not important and not in a hurry. I don't care about the swap, just in case if you are interested.

I meant linked bug 1481645 :)

Comment 8 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-10-16 14:10:15 UTC
(fedrepo-req-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ubridge

Comment 9 Mattia Verga 2020-05-31 09:32:47 UTC
This package was approved and imported in repositories, but this review ticket was never closed.
I'm closing it now.
