--- Comment #8 from Felix Kaechele <[email protected]> ---
I'm a bit confused as to who is submitting this package for review at this
point? Or are neil and supakeen the same person?

Other than that, here are a few more comments, going through the spec file top
to bottom:

1. For the "Release" field use %autorelease:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Versioning/#_release_tag

2. Did you look at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/SourceURL/#_tag_example
(as part of
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/SourceURL/#_using_forges_hosted_revision_control)
that I linked earlier? If you find that too complicated you can instead also
cheat using anchor links to get a properly named source file:
   Instead of
     Source:         %{url}/archive/refs/tags/v%{version}.tar.gz
   use
     Source:        
%{url}/archive/refs/tags/v%{version}.tar.gz#/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
   That way you can also drop the "-n" parameter on the `%autosetup` macro.

3. It's up to you whether you want to carry the changes to the systemd unit
file as a patch. I find it more work possibly having to rework the patch if it
no longer cleanly applies. Simply carrying the entire systemd unit file as an
extra `Source` or using `sed` in the `%prep` section (see an example here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/borgmatic/blob/3f772e679a94c823337ff22084166e3346cb4020/f/borgmatic.spec#_48)
would be acceptable as well.

4. What's the purpose of defining the description via %global _description and
then doing %description %_description? %_description is used nowhere else so it
may be redundant.

5. The systemd unit is being installed into the wrong location. It needs to go
in `%{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/%{name}.service`. Also, using `install -Dpm`
instead of `cp -a` allows you to drop the `mkdir` lines. See for example:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/borgmatic/blob/3f772e679a94c823337ff22084166e3346cb4020/f/borgmatic.spec#_49

Other than that it looks pretty good to me. Some other choices you made (like
how you sorted the %files section) come down to personal preference/style and
they won't be part of the formal review.
