Description: 

This is a liberally licensed VNC server library that's intended to be
fast and neat. Note: This is a beta release, so the interface is not
yet stable.

Comment 1 Aleksei Bavshin 2020-04-15 05:28:04 UTC
Some things to address before formal review:

> License:  ISC

ISC and MIT and Unlicense (with comment about bundled miniz)
Also, `Provides: bundled(miniz) = 2.1.0` with a comment that it's already removed in upstream master.

> BuildRequires: cmake

Not necessary, all dependencies are shipping pkgconfig files. CMake is only required when you know that there's dependency that does not have pkgconfig file but provides cmake modules.

> %files
> %{_libdir}/lib%{name}.so.*

Please, specify at least one element of SONAME to avoid unnoticed incompatible SONAME changes[1]. I.e. %{_libdir}/lib%{name}.so.0* 

> %{_includedir}/*

I'd prefer this to be more specific, but that's just nitpicking.

> cpu = host_machine.cpu_family()
> 
> if cpu == 'x86_64'
> 	c_args += '-mavx'
> elif cpu == 'arm'
> 	c_args += '-mfpu=neon'
> endif

It's better to remove that from meson.build with downstream patch. Upstream issue[2] mentions that at least x86_64 works fine without -mavx, although it does not specify if there's any noticeable performance loss.
IIRC, Fedora baseline for x86_64 is K8 (no avx support) and for ARM - hardware without neon instruction set support. I could be wrong about ARM, but it's still better to keep optimization limited to distribution-wide optflags.

Comment 3 Aleksei Bavshin 2020-04-16 06:22:31 UTC
> License:  ISC and MIT and Unlicensed and BSD
> # miniz is unlicensed: http://unlicense.org

Unlicensed -> Unlicense.
Would be even better to write a detailed distribution of licenses, i.e. something like this:

# main source is ISC
# include/sys/queue.h is BSD
# bundled miniz is MIT and Unlicense
License:  ISC and BSD and MIT and Unlicense

Otherwise I don't see any issues. Package builds in mock, wayvnc works, requires/provides are good and rpmlint's only significant complaint is about invalid license (Unlicensed). Full output of fedora-review is long, boring and has nothing of note. Thanks for all the work on the package!

I'd set both this and wayvnc as approved, but apparently a faulty script did not grant me reviewer permissions in bugzilla and I cannot take the bug or set fedora-review+. I already pinged infra team and they'll fix that sooner or later. Meanwhile... maybe someone could step in and finish the review.

Comment 5 Aleksei Bavshin 2020-04-16 22:50:23 UTC
Package approved. Thanks for all the work on this package!

I'm approving bundling of existing Fedora package miniz on the rationale that upstream already got rid of that and switched to system zlib, but there's no upstream patch that could be cleanly applied to the released version. Too much effort to deal with something that would be fixed in the next upstream release.
