The ChangeLog file was added in 1.6.0 and contains useful information
for users.
The AUTHORS file was removed from %doc in znc-1.7.0-1, because the file
was no longer present in the upstream tarball. Prior to that, the
AUTHORS file was a symlink to the (unpackaged) NOTICES file from
znc-1.2-0.1.alpha1 through znc-1.6.6.
This is minor, but rpmlint complains about the summaries for the perl
and python modules otherwise.
Use "%{summary}." for the %description of the mod(perl|python|tcl)
packages.
On x86_64 the default search path configure uses for tclConfig.sh
does not include /usr/lib64. The tcl module builds with default
settings, but we can do better by explicitly setting --with-tcl. This
ensures that TCL_FLAGS is set by tclConfig.sh rather than guessed.
Manually maintaining the module list is tedious and error-prone.
Include all files under %{_libdir}/znc by default. Use %exclude to
filter out the modperl, modpython, and modtcl files.
Upstream provides signatures for the source tarballs. Automatically
verify them in %prep. This is one less manual step for maintainers.
The upstream tarballs are signed by Alexey Sokolov, AKA DarthGandalf.
The key was initially taken from Alexey's profile page at
savannah.gnu.org¹. The key was then refreshed from the public
keyservers to pick up changes to the expiration date. Lastly, it was
exported via the following command:
gpg2 --armor --export-options export-minimal --export \
D5823CACB477191CAC0075555AE420CC0209989E > gpgkey-5AE420CC0209989E.asc

While upstream redirects to https these days, avoid sending users to the
non-secure site. As %url is used for Source0 it's preferable to
download source tarballs via a secure channel.
Using %autosetup removes the need to manually define %patchN macros.
Using %make_build and %make_install handles %{?_smp_mflags} and DESTDIR.
Also remove cruft related to the znc systemd service file install, left
after a53b3b8 ("cleanup conditionals, use upstream unit file",
2016-10-07).
The znc.cpp file was moved in znc-1.0 and the pattern used in the perl
replacement changed. No one seems to have missed the addition of the
%%{release} macro which was intended. Drop the command and avoid an rpm
build warning.
Similarly, the q.cpp file mode no longer needs to be fixed.
Using a pattern to match the source tar.gz files prevents fedpkg upload
from needlessly appending each new source file to .gitignore.
Also ignore *.rpm, the results dir from mockbuild, and expanded source
directories.
