Summary: Review Request: mpfr - multiple-precision
floating-point computations [needs sponsor]
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide

Description: [first package - require sponsor] A C library for
multiple-precision floating-point computations.
Fedora Account System Username: jamesturner246
This is the version 3.1.16 update of the MPFR arbitrary-precision
floating-point arithmetic library. Version 3.1.16 brings many bugfixes (see
http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.5/#fixed), and an improved manual.
I have also fixed a long-standing encoding problem with the Texinfo manual,
initially reported Jan 2016 (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1299649). The package also contains
the latest patches for this version, and some streamlining of the spec file.
Due to this being my first package submission for Fedora, I would like to
request sponsorship. I have tried to contact the original maintainer of MPFR,
Pavel Cahyna ([email protected]), but have had no response, so would like to
volunteer myself as a new maintainer. However, it is in my interests that this
package remains updated and functional in Fedora.
Regarding my employment and experience: I am the author of MPFA
(https://github.com/jamesturner246/mpfa): a multi-precision range analysis
library, which makes heavy use of the MPFR package in review. I am studying a
PhD thesis in numerical methods at University of Sussex, but am quite familiar
with C programming, Git, Fedora and GNU buildsystems used in industry.
Here is a link to the last modified Koji build:

Many thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.
James Paul Turner.
