I generally prefer CMake based projects anyway :) So the only problem I see is that notcurses depends on ffmpeg, which is not allowed in Fedora. I see it's technically "optional", but I wonder about the usefulness of the resultant package without it. It's technically possible to be sponsored at RPM Fusion first (I was) but it's not preferred. Perhaps one of your other projects could be submitted here first? Thanks, Richard
