--- Comment #5 from Yaakov Selkowitz <yselkowi@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
(In reply to Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski from comment #2)
> 1. Is there a good reason to use `-f` in the `rm` calls below? I'm wary of `rm -f` because it hides errors.

e.g. if a future BRP would automate the removal of %_infodir/dir, there's no
reason for that to trigger an error.  (TBH I'm surprised such doesn't already
exist.)

> 2. You should patch lavtc.sh to avoid pointing to /usr/local/bin and rely on
> $PATH, like Debian does:
> https://sources.debian.org/patches/mjpegtools/1:2.1.0+debian-8.1/
> 10_usr_local.patch/

Added.

> 3. Debian has a patch for this:
> ...
> %configure LIBS="-lpthread" \
> ...
> https://sources.debian.org/patches/mjpegtools/1:2.1.0+debian-8.1/
> 06_link_pthread.patch/

This patch doesn't seem to make much sense, particularly nowadays in light of
https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2021/12/17/why-glibc-234-removed-libpthread

> 4. The GUI applications are so ancient it probably makes no sense to require
> .desktop files for them.

They are designed to be launched from the command line, so desktop files
wouldn't help much.

> 5. Likewise, it's probably not worth the effort to modernize the ancient m4
> macros used in configure script.

Agreed.

> Package APPROVED.

Thanks for the review; waiting on branching to complete to add it.
