Spec URL: https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/for-review/rEFInd.spec
SRPM URL: https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/for-review/rEFInd-0.13.3.1-1.fc36.src.rpm

Description:
A graphical boot manager for EFI- and UEFI-based computers, such as all
Intel-based Macs and recent (most 2011 and later) PCs. rEFInd presents a
boot menu showing all the EFI boot loaders on the EFI-accessible
partitions, and optionally BIOS-bootable partitions on Macs and BIOS boot
entries on UEFI PCs with CSMs. EFI-compatible OSes, including Linux,
provide boot loaders that rEFInd can detect and launch. rEFInd can launch
Linux EFI boot loaders such as ELILO, GRUB Legacy, GRUB 2, and 3.3.0 and
later kernels with EFI stub support. EFI file system drivers for ext2/3/4fs,
ReiserFS, Btrfs, NTFS, HFS+, and ISO-9660 enable rEFInd to read boot
loaders from these file systems, too. rEFInd's ability to detect boot
loaders at run time makes it very easy to use, particularly when paired with
Linux kernels that provide EFI stub support.

Package Review
==============

Legend:

[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues:
=======

  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-

- Large documentation must go in a -doc subpackage. Large could be size
  (~1MB) or number of files.
  Note: Documentation size is 3563520 bytes in 60 files.

Comment 5 Davide Cavalca 2022-05-02 04:02:32 UTC
- there's a few bundled libraries (nanojpeg, lodepng, possibly others) that aren't under GPLv3. These should probably be declared (as I don't think they'd be easy to unbundle) and the license field updated.
- consider splitting the docs in a subpackage (rpmlint also complains about that, not sure why fedora-review didn't pick that up)
- use make %{?_smp_mflags} or add a comment if that doesn't work
- add a comment to explain why we're disabling LTO
- nit: you don't need to mkdir if you're using install -D (e.g. for man8)

Comment 7 Davide Cavalca 2022-10-24 02:53:01 UTC
Approving as the license was the only blocking thing, the rest can be sorted out later if needed.
