Comment 14 Yonghang Wang 2025-09-02 11:19:54 UTC
sure, will work on the changes

Comment 15 Yonghang Wang 2025-09-02 13:49:39 UTC
new build with minor fix,
a) Source0 fixed.
b) appdata added - poor man's version. Reached author, may update later if there's a better version provided.
c) poorman's version tests added.
d) licenses updated: 1. License term -- now a combination of all licenses included. 2. all source files now have license comment with a patch from author's latest commit. 3. only UNKNOWNS are some png files as ack'ed by author that have default project license which is GPLv3+.

Comment 21 Yonghang Wang 2025-09-02 15:15:41 UTC
there're a few things I'm confused:

1.
```
seer.src: W: strange-permission add_copyrights_to_source_files.patch 666
seer.src: W: strange-permission seer-2.5.tar.gz 666
seer.src: W: strange-permission seer.metainfo.xml 666
seer.src: W: strange-permission seer.spec 666
seer.src: W: strange-permission seergdb.1 666
```
they are 644 in repo and source rpms.

2. having no idea about below. seer pkg always exists while debuginfo may not exist on some arch.
```
Rpmlint (installed packages)
----------------------------
(none): E: there is no installed rpm "seer-debuginfo".
(none): E: there is no installed rpm "seer".
There are no files to process nor additional
```

Comment 22 Yonghang Wang 2025-09-02 16:44:28 UTC
Talked with Ernie, Author of Seer, we want to name the package as "seergdb" than just "seer".

I'll recreate the review request and have this closed.

Comment 23 Yonghang Wang 2025-09-02 17:08:10 UTC
new request for "seergdb" created as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2392647.

Thanks Benson for reviewing and I've added you to the new request.
