Yes please. I just updated the version v1.0.0.

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

Legend:

Issues
======
The URL given in the spec file, https://redwax.eu/rs/, does not work for me.
DNS can't resolve the name redwax.eu.  Do you know what's going on?  (See the
first SHOULD item below.)

There is no changelog entry for version 1.0.0.  I encourage you to use
%autorelease and %autochangelog, which prevents such things from happening.
See https://docs.pagure.org/fedora-infra.rpmautospec/.

I'm curious why the gpgverify step is commented out.  Can you comment on that?

FYI, there is an RPM macro %bash_completions_dir which you could use for
brevity.  See /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.shell-completions.

Is there any possibility of including a %check script that does something
simple, such as convert a certificate from one format to another?  Just
something to verify the program runs at all.

A scratch build (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=135087518)
shows that the package fails to build on 32-bit x86, because apr_time_t and
time_t are not the same size.  That is okay, as we don't want to add more
32-bit x86 packages anyway.  Please add something like this to your spec file:

Perfect timing - we're currently experiencing a DNS outage, I am chasing.

I have enabled autorelease, alas autochangelog appears to be git only (our git is a mirror, the primary is svn).

I've commented that back in.

This is fixed.

I've added a %check that verifies the certificates for redwax.eu by way of example.

Just like demos always work great in practice, and then you stand up in front of the real audience... :-)

> I have enabled autorelease, alas autochangelog appears to be git only (our

I see.  In that case, it is probably best not to use %autorelease, since it may get out of sync with the latest changelog entry.

Due to the ongoing DNS outage, I can't verify that the sources match upstream, but since you ARE upstream, that doesn't worry me enough to hold up the review.  This package is APPROVED.

Comment 18 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2025-07-23 08:24:07 UTC
The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redwax-tool

Comment 19 Paul Howarth 2025-07-24 07:51:40 UTC
Note that whilst packages for Rawhide are published automatically, the builds for stable distributions (f41, f42 at the moment) need to have updates submitted via https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ (or using "fedpkg update").
