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 Fabio Valentini 2025-12-09 15:48:10 UTC
Taking this review.

Package looks pretty straightforward, just a few (very) minor things that aren't really blockers but just things I'd like to have clarified before approving:

1) IMO  "written in Rust" is not very useful to put into "Summary" or %description. Consider just dropping it.

2) I assume that you might want to eventually also have a "signed" variant of sprout-unsigned-$arch?
   Is this why you already added Provides / Conflicts "%{name}-bootloader-%{efi_arch}"?

3) Is there a typo in "%{name}%{efi_arch}.efi"? Maybe not, it looks like grub also uses the "grubx64.efi" file name ...

Yeah, I'll drop it on import.

Yep.

It's not a typo, that's how I will be installing it.

Comment 6 Fabio Valentini 2025-12-09 17:20:31 UTC
Thanks, that's all good enough for me. Package APPROVED.

This is *almost* entirely a boilerplate Rust application package (except for building for the UEFI target), which simplifies the review:

✅ package contains only permissible content
✅ package builds and installs without errors on rawhide
🫤 test suite is run and all unit tests pass:
   There appear to be no Rust unit tests in the project, so not having a %check section or pulling in dev-dependencies is fine.
✅ latest version of the project is packaged
✅ license matches upstream specification and is acceptable for Fedora
✅ licenses of statically linked dependencies are correctly taken into account
✅ license file is included with %license in %files
✅ package complies with (Rust) Packaging Guidelines

Package APPROVED.

===

Recommended post-import tasks:

- set up package on release-monitoring.org:
- add @rust-sig with "commit" access as package co-maintainer
- track package in koschei for all built branches
  (should happen automatically once / if rust-sig becomes co-maintainer)
