Description:
Unison is a file-synchronization tool for POSIX-compliant systems (e.g. *BSD,
GNU/Linux, macOS) and Windows.  It allows two replicas of a collection of files
and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same
host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the
changes in each replica to the other.

As indicated [1] on the devel mailing list, I'd like to take ownership of the unison package now that unison 2.52+ has much better forward and backward version-compatibility. I have already done some test builds of this new package version on F38-F41 [2] and EPEL 9 [3] COPR and tested it on the latter.

I will take this review.

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

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

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

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

- This package contains a bundled copy of ocaml-lwt in src/lwt.  Can it be
  unbundled?  It appears to be a very old copy of ocaml-lwt, possible even
  older than 1.1.0, which is the oldest tagged version at
  https://github.com/ocsigen/lwt.

- This package contains a bundled copy of ocaml-inotify in
  src/fsmonitor/inotify (see https://github.com/vincenthz/ocaml-inotify).
  We do not have that package in Fedora.  You should either create an
  ocaml-inotify package and unbundle it from unison, or add
  "Provides: bundled(ocaml-inotify)" (plus "= version" if the version can be
  determined) and make sure the License field represents the license of this
  code.

- This package contains code borrowed from OCaml itself in src/ubase/myMap.*
  and src/hash_compat.c.  The License field must reflect that.

- This package contains code borrowed from Xavier Leroy in src/ubase/uarg.*.
  The original license of this code will have to be determined and included in
  the License field.

- Change all instances of "%{__install}" to "install".  See
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_macros

- In src/fswatchold.ml, function watchercmd attempts to find and run
  fsmonitor.py.  This package does not install fsmonitor.py.  Will that be a
  problem?

- Please add a %check script.  It just needs to run "make test".

- See the name-repeated-in-summary warnings from rpmlint below.  Perhaps the
  word "Unison" could be omitted from each Summary line?

Suggestions:
============
These are suggestions, not issues, so I'm giving them their own section.  Feel
free to ignore any or all of these.

- RPM now supports a less confusing %bcond syntax.  Consider replacing the
  first two lines of the file with:

  %bcond doc 1
  %bcond gtk 1

- Consider using %autorelease and %autochangelog.  See
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#changelogs

- Consider changing "BuildRequires: texlive-latex" to
  "BuildRequires: tex-latex".  The virtual provide will remain available even
  if we switch from TeXLive to some other TeX distribution in the future.

- Consider making unison.desktop be Source1.  That way, the timestamp doesn't
  change on every build.

- Consider adding a metainfo file (which this package SHOULD have).  See
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/AppData/

- Consider including the changelog of the previous iteration of the unison
  package, to give credit to those who worked on it before.
