           Summary: Review Request: libmacaroons - flexible authorization

                    and verification

Spec URL: http://t2.unl.edu/sources/libmacaroons.spec
SRPM URL: http://t2.unl.edu/sources/libmacaroons-0.3.0-1.el7.src.rpm
Description: Macaroons are flexible authorization credentials that support
decentralized delegation, attenuation, and verification.

They provide a power and lightweight mechanism for generating bearer tokens and
were first described by Google researchers in 2014
(https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub41892).

libmacaroons is a flexible C library for creating, manipulating, and verify
these tokens.  I am working to use it as a dependency in a different project
(Xrootd) for authentication tokens, meaning it would be quite useful if we can
have it in Fedora/EPEL and avoid embedded sources.

The packaging is relatively simple (I enabled the Python bindings) and it
appears functional.  I have run rpmlint against the spec file, SRPM, and binary
RPMs and see no glaring errors or blockers.
