Description:
Dave Gnukem is a retro-style 2D scrolling platform shooter similar to,
and inspired by, Duke Nukem 1 (~1991). The original Duke Nukem 1 had
16-color EGA 320x200 graphics; the aim here is "similar but different"
gameplay and "look and feel". It is kind of a parody of the original.

If you want to trigger a new Copr build, add a comment containing new
Spec and SRPM URLs or [fedora-review-service-build] string.

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-08-18 20:22:31 UTC
1. Is there a particular reason why you can't replace:
%setup -q -n dave_gnukem-%{version}
%setup -q -n dave_gnukem-%{version} -D -T -a 1
with
%setup -q -n dave_gnukem-%{version} -a 1
?

2. Is there any particular reason to use double hyphen instead of a single one in patch file names?
Patch0: gnukem--Makefile.patch
Patch1: gnukem--BigEndian.patch

3. %{_mandir}/man6/%{name}.*
Shouldn't this be:
%{_mandir}/man6/%{name}.6*
?

Comment 3 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2025-08-18 20:29:02 UTC
1. Huh. Didn't know that would work. Thanks for the suggestion.

2. Not really, just personal preference.

3. Yep, it should. Good catch.

Comment 7 Cristian Le 2026-05-19 10:35:30 UTC
LGTM, only minor comments

> # Check debian/copyright for a detailed list

The Readme also has a very good breakdown of these, can maybe point to it and add it in the `%license`?

> Backport some upstream improvements to the Makefile

Do you have some links to those?

> Requires: hicolor-icon-theme

Can add the standard note that this is needed because for directory ownership

> README.md says simply "MIT license or GPL".

Can raise the issue to make it more explicit?

Also see some notes in the review checklist

I think adding `debian/copyright` as `%license` is a better idea, as that file actually contains the relevant license texts.

> [!]: License file installed when any subpackage combination is installed.
>      (Technically fails when only `davegnukem-data` is installed)
Moved all the license texts to the -data subpackage.

> > Backport some upstream improvements to the Makefile
> Do you have some links to those?
Added.

> > Requires: hicolor-icon-theme
> Can add the standard note that this is needed because for directory ownership
I guess I could, but then, it's a rather standard usage and I'm not a fan of redundant comments.

> > README.md says simply "MIT license or GPL".
> Can raise the issue to make it more explicit?
Opened an issue upstream: https://github.com/davidjoffe/dave_gnukem/issues/211
In the meantime, changed the license tag from "GPL-2.0-or-later or MIT" to "MIT or GPL-2.0-only or GPL-3.0-only" to better reflect what's in the debian/copyright file.

Ok, all green then

Comment 10 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2026-05-19 12:45:28 UTC
The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/davegnukem
Monitoring:
Anitya project is accessible by this link 
`https://release-monitoring.org/project/388219`
 you can modify it manually.
Package wasn't created in Anitya, reason: `Bad Request, some necessary arguments were not provided.`.
