description: 
Mined is a powerful text editor with a comprehensive yet concise and
easy-to-use user interface supporting modern interaction paradigms,
and fast, small-footprint behaviour.

Mined provides both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering many
specific features and covering special cases that other editors are
not aware of (like auto-detection features and automatic handling of
terminal variations, or Han character information).

Mined supports full mouse control and menu system in plain-text
terminals (and it was the first editor supporting Unicode in xterm).

Mined offers a full set of text and file management features, like
data loss prevention (using backup, recovery files, and file locking
interoperable with other editors, and file change monitoring), an
interactive file chooser, and an interactive file switcher.

Basically, mined is an editor tailored to reliable and efficient
editing of plain text documents and programs, with comfortable
features and intuitive interactive behaviour designed for this purpose.

If you want to trigger a new Copr build, add a comment containing new
Spec and SRPM URLs or [fedora-review-service-build] string.

I will take this review.

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

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

Issues:
=======
- The License field must be a valid SPDX expression.
  Note: Not a valid SPDX expression 'GPL-3.0-only and Unicode-3.0'.
  See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SPDX_Licenses_Phase_1

  I think it is complaining about "and", which should be upper case: "AND".

- Package does not use a name that already exists.
  Note: A package with this name already exists. Please check
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mined
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-
  guidelines/Naming/#_conflicting_package_names

  This just means that you have to use the unretirement process instead of the
  new package process.

- Source1 is a copy of the file available from the unicode-ucd-unihan package.
  You've classified it as Unicode-3.0.  The unicode-ucd-unihan package says it
  is "Unicode-DFS-2016 AND Unicode-TOU".  I don't know who is right, but we
  need to reconcile the differing licenses, and determine if this package
  should use the zip file from unicode-ucd-unihan.

- /usr/share/doc/mined/README is a symlink to a file that doesn't exist in
  the binary package

- Should the files in /usr/share/mined/doc_user be in /usr/share/doc/mined
  instead?

- I have questions about the files in /usr/share/mined/bin.
  - umined, uterm, and xmined are also in /usr/bin.  Are they really needed in
    both places?
  - wined.bat is an MS-DOS script.  We don't need that, do we?
  - wined requires mintty, which we don't have in Fedora.
  - Should mterm and uprint be in /usr/bin also?

- Should the files in /usr/share/mined/conf_user be in /etc/default instead?

- /usr/share/mined/setup_install contains more Windows-specific files, as well
  as copies of the desktop and icon files, already installed elsewhere.

- Since this package installs a desktop file, it SHOULD also install an AppData
  file: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/AppData/

- The files in man are ISO-8559-1.  They should be converted to UTF-8.

- The man pages are incorrectly installed with executable permissions.

- I don't know how serious we really are about the "American English" thing,
  but "behaviour" in %description is British English.  We Americans omit the
  'u': "behavior".
