Description Benson Muite 2025-06-09 04:36:18 UTC
spec: https://fed500.fedorapeople.org/sonic.spec
srpm: https://fed500.fedorapeople.org/sonic-0.2.0%5E20210316gitba33141-1.fc41.src.rpm

description:
Sonic is a simple algorithm for speeding up or slowing down speech.  However,
it's optimized for speed ups of over 2X, unlike previous algorithms for changing
speech rate.  The Sonic library is a very simple ANSI C library that is designed
to easily be integrated into streaming voice applications, like TTS back ends.

The primary motivation behind Sonic is to enable the blind and visually impaired
to improve their productivity with open source speech engines, like espeak.
Sonic can also be used by the sighted.  For example, Sonic can improve the
experience of listening to an audio book on an Android phone.

Comment 1 Lukáš Tyrychtr 2025-06-09 13:12:21 UTC
The spec is clear enough. Anything specific you'd want an answer for (because of the needinfo), or is this a package review request? I might get to it, but definitely not this week, so, feel free anyone else to do it.

Comment 2 Benson Muite 2025-06-10 15:23:12 UTC
Lukáš, if you could review when you have time, that would be great. It is a dependency of RHVoice
https://github.com/RHVoice/RHVoice/tree/master/src/third-party/sonic

Comment 3 Tomi Lähteenmäki 2025-08-20 17:52:32 UTC
Went through of the spec, here is some comments before doing the full review:

- Is the static library really needed? If not, remove it in %install (so no -static package).

- Would the library be useful for others? I.e. would it make sense to package the library into "libsonic" package and "sonic" package Requires it?

- Personally I would do string substitution on the "shortcommit":

> %global  shortcommit  %{sub %{commit} 1 7}

- Preemptively consider Epoch:

> Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}-%{release}

- There is one extra line break before %install and %changelog, consider removing the extra line breaks

Thanks for your feedback.

Comment 8 Fedora Review Service 2025-08-22 08:18:37 UTC

(failed)

Please make sure the package builds successfully at least for Fedora Rawhide.

- If the build failed for unrelated reasons (e.g. temporary network
  unavailability), please ignore it.
- If the build failed because of missing BuildRequires, please make sure they
  are listed in the "Depends On" field
