--- Comment #2 from Dridi Boukelmoune <dridi.boukelmoune@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Apologies for coming back later than I'd hoped, my spare time was scarcer than
anticipated.

> Can the spec file be modified to conditionally run the slow tests?

I let the XXX comment and eventually forgot about it, but that was my
intention.

> Can the spec file be modified to produce a macro package first, thereby allowing for a two stage bootstrap?
>
> It is helpful to be able to run the review tool when updating, not just on initial import.

I don't dispute the value of recurring reviews of a package, since packaging
guidelines are a moving target. I'm reluctant to the idea of introducing a
bootstrap step in the process. I made some effort to enable automatic
dependency management and managed to upstream all the changes needed to support
that. I added a hare-filesystem sub-package for a SHOULD NOT entry in the
guidelines, at the expense of potentially running dependency generator more
than once (not changing the final results).

If I'm spending time on this fedora-review problem, I'd rather take it the
other way around and teach it to parse the spec with sources. For example with
the -r option since the spec is extracted alongside other sources in an
srpm-unpacked directory.

It is unfortunate that fedora-review fails in the presence of a %load macro,
but I'd rather keep it and optimize for maintenance rather than review (or fix
fedora-review). If the ruby package was submitted today, it would run into the
same problem. It's probably possible to kick-start an automated review by
manually expanding the %load macro in a copy of the spec, to get the initial
template and supported checks. It's just not a seamless 'fedora-review -b
2385991` invocation.
