Description: Simple named pipe management utility

Hi!

This is a package review request for pipectl, a named pipe management utility that can be used to e.g. control a longer-lived program using short commands from elsewhere in the system without needing a complex IPC mechanism such as UNIX domain sockets.

It's a convenient little tool that is an optional dependency for the Wayland screen mirroring tool wl-mirror (also by me). pipectl has already been packaged by most other major distros, but not by Fedora.

This is my first package in Fedora and as such I would need a sponsor for this package. I am the upstream maintainer for both pipectl and wl-mirror and also maintain the Arch Linux AUR packages pipectl-git and wl-mirror-git, as well as the Debian wl-mirror package (also via a sponsor).

The package already builds and works in COPR, as can be seen here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ferdi265/pipectl/

Thanks for considering this request,
Ferdinand Bachmann

Comment 3 Package Review 2025-07-20 00:45:19 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.
