I can see many similar constructs in Fedora spec files > so I'm sure it must be legal, but the packaging guidelines don't document it > (I'm looking at > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/CMake/) and I > can't google anything about buildrequires: cmake(...) Indeed, that's not documented. I created a ticket[1] for Fedora packaging committee to address that. `BuildRequires: cmake(...)` is a construction similar to `BuildRequires: pkgconfig(...)` with the main difference that it works with CMake configuration files and uses names suitable for CMake's `find_package` dependency resolver. In the case of this package, meson uses CMake dependency resolver when pkgconfig lookup fails, thus I'm declaring the dependency as `cmake(nlohmann_json)` I did a quick search and the only document I found was a blog post of the author of the dependency generator[2]. You can check it for a better explanaion and examples.

So far so > good. No, nlohmann_json code is not included in the nwg-launchers tarball. `cmake(nlohmann_json)` pulls `json-devel` package which would provide the library. `dnf install 'cmake(nlohmann_json)'` should do the same for you. > 2/ The license for the nlohmann stuff is MIT so please reflect that in the > spec file with an appropriate comment eg: > 3/ ... > 4/ ... > 5/ ... Since the subproject is not included in the nwg-launchers source archive, this would be unnecessary. > 7/ how would you feel about adding the following to the description (or > paraphrasing it): > > it must work well on sway; > it should work as well as possible on Wayfire, i3, dwm and Openbox. It's a good idea. I'll do that. Thanks for reviewing! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
