Description Benson Muite 2024-10-25 13:35:58 UTC
spec: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/jove/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08175081-jove/jove.spec
srpm: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/jove/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08175081-jove/jove-4.17.5.3-1.fc42.src.rpm

description:
Jove is a compact, powerful Emacs-style text-editor. It provides the common
emacs keyboard bindings, together with a reasonable assortment of the most
popular advanced features (e.g. interactive shell windows, compile-it,
language specific modes) while weighing in with CPU, memory, and disk
requirements comparable to vi(1).  It is 8-bit clean, but does not support
Unicode (or UTF-8 etc).

The package is currently orphaned, but still in Epel 7.
Have claimed ownership, but as the licensing is unclear,
and the package has changed since it was last in Fedora,
would like a re-review would be helpful.

Reproducible: Always

Can you try rebuilding on rawhide ?
It does not mock for me.

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.
