This is your first package, you'll need to find a sponsor.

 - Simplify the Source0:

Source0: https://github.com/tsl0922/%{name}/archive/%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

 - The LICENSE file must be included with %license not %doc

 - Split the description to stay under 80 characters per line:

ttyd.x86_64: E: description-line-too-long C ttyd is a simple command-line tool for sharing terminal over the web, inspired by GoTTY.

Comment 4 Jason Tibbitts 2019-03-26 21:06:06 UTC
This is very interesting; ttyd looks like it could be a reasonable replacement for shellinabox (which has kind of gone unmaintained for a while).  However it seems to me that the packaging is a bit barebones for something that I'd expect to provide a daemon.  Shouldn't it at least provide a systemd unit, or was your intent not to do so?  If the latter, how do you envision this package being used?

I haven't gone through the entire build process but I'm curious about what happens to the bundled javascript bits.  I guess it all ends up crammed into the pre-bompiled index.html and that gets compiled into the binary.  But I'm not sure if that code is xterm.js, is derived from xterm.js or is something else; if it's bundled, that needs to be indicated here with Provides: bundled(xterm.js) = 3.2.0 or whatever the version is.  And it appears to be pre-minimized, which causes its own issues about that needing to be built from source.  Frankly I don't know much about webpack or how this even gets built, but I'm not sure that what's in the ttyd source tarball is all that's actually needed to completely rebuild everything from source.

Another thing would be an selinux policy, but that's not at all required.  I managed to get one working for shellinabox but it has a somewhat different scope.

Package is approved, but please fix this.

You  still need to find a sponsor: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group

Comment 6 Jason Tibbitts 2019-03-26 21:19:42 UTC
Erm, surely at least the bundling issue deserves a mention.

Comment 7 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-03-26 21:28:02 UTC
I did not notice the index.htl with minified JS in it. It would be nice to identify the source of it, especially the License: and add a bundled Provides for it as Jason said.

The bundle seems to contain:

    "dependencies": {
        "bulma": "^0.6.1",
        "core-js": "^2.5.3",
        "fast-text-encoding": "^1.0.0",
        "xterm": "^3.12.0",
        "zmodem.js": "^0.1.7"
    },

Comment 9 Jason Tibbitts 2019-03-26 21:53:11 UTC
If fast-text-encoding is https://github.com/samthor/fast-text-encoding then that's Apache 2.0.  I think zmodem.js is also Apache 2.0 (https://github.com/FGasper/zmodemjs).  The others appear to be MIT.

What you mean to simplify?

I'm following the official guide, using the %version macro: "Using %{version} in the SourceX: makes it easier for you to bump the version of a package, because most of the time you do not need to edit SourceX: when editing the spec file for the new package."

There is a lot of spec's samples around the web using Github url.

Source0: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd/archive/%{version}.tar.gz#/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
vs
Source0: https://github.com/tsl0922/%{name}/archive/%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

You don't have to use the #/ trick to rename the archive.

If you plan to take over, you'll need to open another bug and mark this one as Duplicate and as FE:DEADREVIEW.
