The package is required by newer MinGW libadwaita.

We tried to build it as part of appstream package, but the dependency on native build makes things too complicated:

Comment 1 Sandro Mani 2025-08-17 21:12:34 UTC
Looks like the parent dirs in these %files paths are unowned?

%{mingw32_datadir}/appstream/appstream.conf
%{mingw32_datadir}/gettext/its/metainfo.*
%{mingw32_datadir}/installed-tests/appstream/metainfo-validate.test

Comment 3 Fedora Review Service 2025-08-18 07:09:10 UTC
Copr build:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/build/9439675
(failed)

Build log:

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

Comment 4 Sandro Mani 2025-08-18 07:28:22 UTC
Hm yes looks like mingw-harfbuzz didn't pick up the new icu when it was rebuilt, resubmitted now.

Comment 5 Sandro Mani 2025-08-20 10:08:37 UTC
- Please check whether the license breakdown is indeed complete, see below.
- These directories are still unowned:
    /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/installed-tests,
    /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/installed-tests
- Some rpmlint warnings regarding incorrect FSF addresses may be reported upstream

> - Please check whether the license breakdown is indeed complete, see below.

I based it on appstream.spec
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/appstream/blob/rawhide/f/appstream.spec

Apparently, the docs/ use different licenses (GFDL & CCSA), but are not shipped in Fedora.

Then I think https://github.com/ximion/appstream/blob/main/src/as-spdx-data.h might confuse review tool.

those shouldn't be owned imho, there are shared directories

Currently I only see one other package installing files to that directory, i.e. mingw-json-glib, which owns the directory.
So I suggest either mingw-appstream co-owns it, or we move ownership to mingw-filesystem.

How to do that?, it doesn't seem to own any of the subdir from a first look.

Comment 9 Sandro Mani 2025-08-20 11:25:20 UTC
If you do

%files
%{mingw32_datadir}/installed-tests/

the dir and all children are owned.

If you do

%files
%dir %{mingw32_datadir}/installed-tests/

just the dir, but not the children are owned.

If you do

%files
%{mingw32_datadir}/installed-tests/*

only the children, but not the dir are owned.

Comment 10 Sandro Mani 2025-08-20 13:02:27 UTC
Should all be good now with [1], approved.
