--- Comment #2 from Daniel Berrangé <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Some background notes to for anyone reviewing

* This package contains pre-built binaries which would ordinarily be disallowed
by Fedora. The SGX architectural enclaves, however, are considered to be
"firmware for SGX", and thus prebuilt binaries are being allowed under the
"Firmware exception". This viewpoint was approved by FESCo in
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3304

* There were many options for package naming choice. 'linux-sgx' was chosen as
a prefix because that matches the upstream project name and source tarball name
'linux-sgx', and 'enclaves-prebuilt' appended, to distinguish this from a
different 'linux-sgx' package that will be introduced in a different review
ticket

* The prebuilt_dcap_1.22-repacked.tar.gz tarball is NOT a match for
prebuilt_dcap_1.22.tar.gz provided by upstream. Upstream tarball has had some
content removed by since it contains other non-enclave prebuilt binaries we CAN
NOT distribute in Fedora, and one enclave that is known to contain unapproved
crypto. THis was automated by
https://berrange.fedorapeople.org/review/linux-sgx-enclaves-prebuilt/repack.sh 
whic hwill be added to dist-git if this review is approved.

* Don't be fooled by the enclave binary names having '.so', '.so.N' & '.so.N.Y'
suffixes. These are not traditional Linux shared libraries. They are static
linked archives processed by a custom loader and NOT linked to native
applications. rpmlint does not know this though, and so will generate some
false positive errors & warnings.
