           Summary: Review Request: <main package name here> - <short
                    summary here>
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: Package Review

Spec URL: http://johnford.org/wxHexEditor.spec
SRPM URL: http://johnford.org/wxHexEditor-0.24-1.fc28.src.rpm
Description: wxHexEditor is a graphical hex editor that I like
Fedora Account System Username: jhford (also have john64, but not using it any
more)

This is not my first package, but the first in just under 10 years.  It is the
first time using a new FAS account "jhford", which is what I'd rather use from
now on.  The docs said to include background information which might be
relevant.  I have worked for Mozilla on the release engineering team, the
Firefox OS build team and currently on our CI platform.  I have been doing peer
review for software for the last 10 years.  I tried to follow the various
packaging docs as best as I could, but there's 5 different wiki pages to
follow.

I cannot find contact details for the author of the tool, so I haven't been in
touch yet.  There's 3 patches relating to the build system.  I would like to
upstream them, but they're so specific to building that they're not likely
worth the effort unless the tool is packaged into Fedora.

The license is slightly unclear... 

 5 *   This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or       *
 6 *   modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License         *
 7 *   as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2      *
 8 *   of the License. 

I used GPLv2 because I believe that to be accurate.  I'm not sure what exactly
is meant here, but I will clarify with the author if I can get in contact.  I
don't know if it was meant as "Either the GPLv2 or later" or not, so I'd like
to  be safe until I can clarify with the author.

There's a failure on AArch64 and Armv7hl.  I think it's in the base Wx Widget
library, and I haven't dug into it yet.  I will attach the errors to this bug
(if I can) or I will comment with their contents.  Apparently, I'm supposed to
file a bug for this, but I suspect that I should wait for this package to be
accepted (or rejected) before doing that.

I'm not sure what to do about sha256.  Should I download the tarball, compute
the sha256 and manually validate it in the spec file, or is having a sha256
something that the Fedora infrastructure would take care of?

Here's a link to a successful Koji run:
