https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528781 Bug ID: 1528781 Summary: Review Request: mpfr - multiple-precision floating-point computations [needs sponsor] Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: jamesturner246@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: https://jamesturner246.fedorapeople.org/mpfr-3.1.6/mpfr.spec SRPM URL: https://jamesturner246.fedorapeople.org/mpfr-3.1.6/mpfr-3.1.6-1.fc28.src.rpm Description: [first package - require sponsor] A C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations. Fedora Account System Username: jamesturner246 This is the version 3.1.16 update of the MPFR arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic library. Version 3.1.16 brings many bugfixes (see http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.5/#fixed), and an improved manual. I have also fixed a long-standing encoding problem with the Texinfo manual, initially reported Jan 2016 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1299649). The package also contains the latest patches for this version, and some streamlining of the spec file. Due to this being my first package submission for Fedora, I would like to request sponsorship. I have tried to contact the original maintainer of MPFR, Pavel Cahyna (pcahyna@xxxxxxxxxx), but have had no response, so would like to volunteer myself as a new maintainer. However, it is in my interests that this package remains updated and functional in Fedora. Regarding my employment and experience: I am the author of MPFA (https://github.com/jamesturner246/mpfa): a multi-precision range analysis library, which makes heavy use of the MPFR package in review. I am studying a PhD thesis in numerical methods at University of Sussex, but am quite familiar with C programming, Git, Fedora and GNU buildsystems used in industry. Here is a link to the last modified Koji build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=23871092 Many thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.
