Comment 1 Jonathan Wright 2022-08-20 18:49:18 UTC
I've flagged your review request as needing a sponsor per https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Review_Process/#_contributor

Comment 2 Jonathan Wright 2022-08-20 18:49:52 UTC
Disregard.  Wrong BZ.

Comment 3 Benson Muite 2022-08-20 19:10:32 UTC
Thanks for submitting this. Some observations on running fedora-review:
- If your application is a C or C++ application you must list a
  BuildRequires against gcc, gcc-c++ or clang.
  Note: No gcc, gcc-c++ or clang found in BuildRequires
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/C_and_C++/
- Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
  Note: Unversioned so-files directly in %_libdir.
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-
  guidelines/#_devel_packages
- Static libraries in -static or -devel subpackage, providing -devel if
  present.
  Note: Package has .a files: ndpi-devel. Does not provide -static: ndpi-
  devel.
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-
  guidelines/#packaging-static-libraries


May also wish to check licenses of some of the included external components.

Mmm, in addition, looking at the scripts in /usr/libexec/ndpi/utils, they point to a directory supposing that they still resides in the sources dir.
DEST=../src/lib/inc_generated/
I don't know how useful it is to include them. Maybe using sed to replace DEST= to /tmp and including them in the devel package.

Comment 5 Package Review 2023-08-22 00:45:27 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.
