Issues:
- The License field must be a valid SPDX expression.
  Note: Not a valid SPDX expression 'GPL-2.0-only AND MIT Unlicense
  BSD-3-Clause'.
  See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SPDX_Licenses_Phase_1

  I thinkyi you want "and" in between here.

- Can you explain why this is done, simply using the %license macro
  would be much simpler?
  
  # Install the license files and documentation.
  # This is done manually so the files end up in libresprite/ directory
  # despite being part of libresprite-data package.

Yes, it is missing an "AND" between "MIT" and "Unlicense.

> - Can you explain why this is done, simply using the %license macro

Uhh... it's done for exactly the reason described in the comment.
The files are packaged in libresprite-data, so using the %license macro
would put them in /usr/share/licenses/libresprite-data/, whereas
I want them in /usr/share/licenses/libresprite/.

Comment 3 Terje Rosten 2026-10-18 10:44:33 UTC
Just use %license macro in both packages instead?

Comment 4 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2026-10-18 10:52:29 UTC
libresprite requires libresprite-data, so it does not need to carry license files.
I wanted to move licenses to the -data subpackage since that one is noarch.

Comment 5 Terje Rosten 2026-10-18 11:01:29 UTC
Somewhat non-standard, but not end of the world, the license directory need to be owned by package

Comment 6 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2026-10-29 17:00:25 UTC
* Fixed the license tag.
* Made the package own the license directory, instead of owning just the files inside.
* Moved "Requires: hicolor-icon-theme" to the -data subpackage, as that's where the icon is shipped.

Comment 8 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2026-10-29 17:48:11 UTC
The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libresprite
Monitoring:
Anitya project is accessible by this link 
`https://release-monitoring.org/project/153525`
 you can modify it manually.
Package wasn't created in Anitya, reason: `Bad Request, some necessary arguments were not provided.`.
