Both of these give me a 404. I assume you meant to use fedorapeople.org links, not fedoraproject.org?
The files exist there.

You need to BuildRequire "make" as well. It hasn't been part of the default buildroot since F34.

This is not needed. %set_build_flags is called automatically from F36 onwards.

It's needed for F35 and all EPEL.  I'm happy to wrap it in an %if block if you think it necessary but it seems unnecessary to me.

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

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

Issues
======
- There are several build warnings that indicate possible runtime issues.
  The -Wrestrict warnings indicate code that can produce garbled output.
  The -Wformat-overflow warnings indicate possible buffer overflows.

- The -Os flag to gcc should not be used, since Fedora has selected -O2.

- Version 0.4.8 has been released, and includes your PR.

I'll gather some info and report this to upstream.

I don't think there's anything in packaging guidelines prohibiting overriding some of the default flags.  In fact, guidelines say it's permissible.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_compiler_flags

"It's not worth maintaining a patch for it" seems like reasonable justification IMO considering the trivial difference between -O2 and -Os.

Regardless, I've created a patch to handle this and opened a PR upstream to see if upstream will change to O2 so we don't have to maintain a patch.

You are correct.  It isn't forbidden, although the guidelines do say that changing the -O option is "discouraged".

If you or upstream would like me to do so, I am happy to suggest patches for the warnings.

In the meantime, this package meets all of the packaging guidelines, so it is APPROVED.

I'm sure upstream would appreciate it.  I did open an issue about it but C/C++ isn't my forte :)

Thanks for the review.
