Description: Amiga emulator with on-screen GUI and online play support

FS-UAE is an Amiga emulator for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
based on UAE/WinUAE, with a focus on emulating games.

Features include emulation of Amiga 500, 1200, 4000, CD32
and CDTV, perfectly smooth scrolling on 50Hz displays, support
for floppy images in ADF and IPF formats, CD-ROM images in ISO
or BIN/CUE format, mounting folders on your computer as Amiga
hard drives, support for Picasso 96 drivers for high-color and
high-resolution Workbench displays, and more.

A unique feature is support for cross-platform online play. You
can now play Amiga games against (or with) friends over the
Internet.

The emulator uses the latest Amiga emulation code from the
WinUAE project and requires a moderately fast computer with
accelerated graphics (OpenGL) to work. A game pad or joystick is
recommended, but not required (FS-UAE can emulate a joystick
using the cursor keys and right ctrl/alt keys).

This is my (well, "my" - this one is just copied from RPM Fusion) fourth
package (others: RHBZ#1998755 RHBZ#1998821 RHBZ#2018694) and I need a sponsor.
I've been active in pkgsrc previously, which I used on NetBSD and macOS, but
have recently migrated my main machine to Fedora. While pkgsrc does work on
Fedora, having native packages is nicer, so I want to get into packaging
software I am missing for Fedora, since using a system as my main system for me
also means contributing.

This was previously in RPM Fusion for two reasons:

1.) Dependency on libmpeg2
2.) Requiring a non-free ROM

To address those:

1.) was solved by libmpeg2 now being in Fedora.
2.) was never correct: The emulator itself ships with a free ROM replacement
from AROS. Even if the AROS Public License would not be considered free
software by Fedora, the firmware exception would still apply, as this at the
very least freely redistributable. I'm not sure if it makes sense to even
determine whether AROS Public License is an acceptable free software license
for Fedora, given the firmware exception could just be used.
