Cannot find any valid SRPM URL for this ticket. Common causes are:

- You didn't specify `SRPM URL: ...` in the ticket description
  or any of your comments
- The URL schema isn't HTTP or HTTPS
- The SRPM package linked in your URL doesn't match the package name specified
  in the ticket summary

Hi I've already included the SPRM URL: 
Spec URL: https://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/packages/neeralishah/XML1.2.1/rust-xml.git/plain/rust-xml.spec?id=16db1437b82f3f0f8fea11b6935bc339342db3e0
SRPM URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/neeralishah/XML1.2.1/srpm-builds/10073699/rust-xml-1.2.1-1.src.rpm

Comment 6 Ben Beasley 2026-01-29 17:19:24 UTC
Yup, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2434843#c4 reflects a successful COPR build.

Comment 7 neeralishah 2026-01-29 18:25:49 UTC
For context, the request to add the XML package is for the Guest Proxy Agent: https://github.com/Azure/GuestProxyAgent. GPA is written in rust and has several dependencies in order to build in Fedora environment.

Comment 8 neeralishah 2026-01-29 18:26:52 UTC
Since this is a new package, please help assign a sponsor to this ticket.

Comment 10 Ben Beasley 2026-01-29 18:40:12 UTC
Note that any packager may review this submission, and then you would be able to import it (and any other approved submissions) once you’ve been sponsored. The reviewer doesn’t necessarily have to be a sponsor, and your sponsor doesn’t necessarily have to have reviewed any package submissions.

Also, in case there is any confusion, it is *you* who is seeking sponsorship as a prospective packager, not the *package*, as in Debian. If this package review is approved and you are sponsored into the packager group, you would be the one to maintain the package (with some help from Rust SIG members).

By the way, could I ask if you have an application in mind that would use this? Rust crate library packages in Fedora aren’t really suitable for general-purpose development, so they’re really only useful if something depends in them.

Comment 11 neeralishah 2026-01-29 21:23:28 UTC
I see thank you for the details on sponsorship and package maintainer. The application that requires this package is GPA (I've linked it in my previous comment) which is a Microsoft software that is already deployed across Windows and multiple Linux distros.

Comment 12 Ben Beasley 2026-01-30 12:03:49 UTC
This is a very straightforward package, and I found no issues. Package APPROVED.

Once you’ve been sponsored into the packager group, you may request a dist-git repository and import and build the package: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/New_Package_Process_for_New_Contributors/#import_commit_and_build_your_package.

===

Recommended post-import rust-sig tasks:

- set up package on release-monitoring.org:
  project: $crate
  homepage: https://crates.io/crates/$crate
  backend: crates.io
  version scheme: semantic
  version filter (*NOT* pre-release filter): alpha;beta;rc;pre
  distro: Fedora
  Package: rust-$crate

- add @rust-sig with "commit" access as package co-maintainer
  (should happen automatically)

- set bugzilla assignee overrides to @rust-sig (optional)

- track package in koschei for all built branches
  (should happen automatically once rust-sig is co-maintainer)

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

The spec file is exactly as produced by rust2rpm without a configuration file,
greatly simplifying the review.


Issues:
=======
- Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
  Note: warning: File listed twice:
  /usr/share/cargo/registry/xml-1.2.1/LICENSE
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-
  guidelines/#_duplicate_files

  OK: this is not a serious problem and is due to reasonable design decisions
  in rust2rpm.

     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging

Comment 13 Fabio Valentini 2026-02-03 22:53:00 UTC
PS: The "xml" crate is just a re-published version of "xml-rs" (now that the author has access to the non-rs-suffixed name), which we already have in Fedora.

Not sure if it makes sense for two different people to maintain effectively the same library.
