Spec URL: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/thomas-dickey/rpms/vttest/blob/rawhide/f/vttest.spec SRPM URL: https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/temp/REVIEW/vttest-2.7.20210210-1.src.rpm Description: Vttest tests the compatibility (demonstrates the non-compatibility) of so-called “VT100-compatible” terminals. In conformance of the good old hacker traditions, the only documentation of this program is the source code itself. To understand it, you also need a copy of the original VT100 manual from DEC. Additional tests (past version 1.7) are provided for analysis of vt220 through vt520 terminals, as well as variants of xterm. Fedora Account System Username: thomas-dickey
The commit here https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vttest/c/c8de6824184591546cc83889681e3aa3ea860d43?branch=rawhide gives no clue regarding why it was retired. Based on the packager's set of packages, it appears to have been disinterest, since it is unrelated to any of those. The package is easily built, and I'm willing to maintain it.
I will review this package and sponsor you to Fedora.

Current version addresses this, except for %autosetup, which doesn't work with the existing sources. Perhaps it has some options to allow it to be used instead of %setup.

done - thanks
> [ "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" != "/" ] && rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT Not allowed on Fedora and must be removed. Also please update your SRPM and SPEC.
removed the "rm -rf" I don't understand the "please update" (where should I do that?)
> I don't understand the "please update" (where should I do that?) You need to post links to the updated SPEC and SRPM.
> * Sat Jan 08 2022 Thomas E. Dickey All changelog entries must be fully versioned. Use this one and remove all others: * Sat Jan 08 2022 Thomas E. Dickey <dickey> - 2.7.20210210-1 - address review-comments - install doc, license files used in previous Fedora package
