Description: scenefx is a drop-in replacement for the wlroots scene API that
allows Wayland compositors to render surfaces with eye-candy effects --
including blur, drop shadows, and rounded corners -- while keeping the
simplicity of the standard wlroots scene API. It is used by compositors
such as SwayFX, MangoWC, and mwc.

This is my first package and i need a sponsor. Feel free to tell me what is wrong with the package and i'll happily change it until it sits right. I'm hoping to start my journey of contributing to fedora. To put you into perspective, i have a deep understanding with upstream since i'm an active contributor to scenefx and maintain the package for Debian.

Comment 1 Michel Lind 2026-09-11 17:53:35 UTC
At first glance it looks fine.

It is a bit late on Friday for me so I might not finish it until Monday, but after that I am happy to sponsor

Comment 2 Michel Lind 2026-09-14 15:47:00 UTC
LGTM, APPROVED

I'll go ahead and start the sponsorship process

Digest from the Matrix conversation:
- the library naming (lib%{name}-%{version}.so) is nonstandard. there's now an upstream bug linked tracking it. FWIW wlroots (which this is a drop-in replacement for) also has this issue
- tinywl needed to be excluded, it's an example and is CC0 licensed which is no longer allowed
