https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1414087 Bug ID: 1414087 Summary: Review Request: Gearboy - Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: dmoerner@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: http://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/cgit/dmoerner/Gearboy/Gearboy.git/plain/Gearboy.spec?id=91cac5b448bbdee305b3a040bb2b11108a6537ff SRPM URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/dmoerner/Gearboy/fedora-25-x86_64/00500763-Gearboy/Gearboy-2.3.1-1.fc25.src.rpm Description: Gearboy is a Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator written in C++. The emulator prioritizes readable, simple source code and high compatibility across a variety of platforms and architectures. Gearboy features highly accurate CPU emulation, instruction timing, and memory timing. It also includes memory bank controllers, accurate LCD controller emulation, mix frames, sound emulation, and compressed ROM support. Fedora Account System Username: dmoerner Successful koji scratch-build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=17313799 This is my first package, and I need a sponsor. Gearboy is an emulator compatible with Fedora's new, more relaxed emulator policy.[1] It is GPLv3+ and contains no non-free components. It needs only game ROMS supplied by the user and not included in the package. I chose to name it "Gearboy" rather than "gearboy" because upstreame consistently uses the capitalized form, including in documentation and in the binary name. (The only exception is actually git tagging, as noted in the spec file.) If "gearboy" would be preferred, it would be trivial to rename the files during install. Upstream has been very responsive; they merged a number of pull requests I submitted, including man, desktop, and appdata files that I wrote.[2] I checked the package with mock, rpmlint, and fedora-review many times, and believe it conforms to the package requirements. To potential sponsors: I already introduced myself informally on the games mailing list[3], and I will introduce myself again on the devel list. Here is some relevant information that might help you decide to sponsor me: I have read the packaging guidelines many times. Gearboy is actually the third package I have created while trying to follow the packaging guidelines. (The first, hamlet, an SML interpreter, still requires some patches to satisfy FHS which I have not yet written. I hope to submit a review-request for it when I do that. The second, higan, another emulator, has some licensing issues that I came to believe make it unsuitable for inclusion in Fedora.) I completed a sample review for the minetestmapper package.[4] I thought the package was in very good shape, so it turned out to be very simple. (I'm sure I missed something, though!) But it did give me an opportunity to find what I believe is a small bug in fedora-review[5], and to write and submit a manpage for the package upstream.[6] Finally, back when I was involved in Debian development, they asked you to triage a so-called "release-critical" bug, like a FTBFS. I informally did this for a recent bug in guile found during the rawhide readline-7 rebuild.[7] (It turned out to be non-reproducible.) I also hang out in IRC as dmoerner, you are welcome to quiz me or ask me to do additional things! Thanks!
