Note that I have a long stalled review / sponsorship request open[0], not sure if that is relevant or not.

The patch in the specfile has been submitted upstream[1].

Regarding "Sources are verified with gpgverify first in %prep if upstream publishes signatures. Note: gpgverify is not used." I would love to add a gpgverify step[0] as upstream does provide a key[1] and signed hashes. But the published asc[2] file isn't a detached signature so the macro doesn't understand it.

I could feasibly "unarmor" the asc file and then run sha256 sum. Given the security nature of the package, it might be an avenue worth pursuing.

Comment 7 Package Review 2025-12-11 00:45:21 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.

Comment 8 Brandon Nielsen 2025-12-11 16:22:43 UTC
0.9.72 is the latest release of Firetools.
