Spec URL: https://www.acm.jhu.edu/~bjr/fedora/rpmfusion/tilem/tilem.spec SRPM URL: https://www.acm.jhu.edu/~bjr/fedora/rpmfusion/tilem/tilem-2.0-1.fc24.src.rpm Description: TilEm is an emulator and debugger for Texas Instruments Z80-based graphing calculators. It can emulate any of the following calculator models: TI-73 / TI-73 Explorer TI-76.fr TI-81 TI-82 TI-82 STATS / TI-82 STATS.fr TI-83 TI-83 Plus / TI-83 Plus Silver Edition / TI-83 Plus.fr TI-84 Plus / TI-84 Plus Silver Edition / TI-84 pocket.fr TI-85 TI-86 TilEm fully supports all known versions of the above calculators (as of 2012), and attempts to reproduce the behavior of the original calculator hardware as faithfully as possible. In addition, TilEm can emulate the TI-Nspire's virtual TI-84 Plus mode. This is currently experimental, and some programs may not work correctly. RPM Fusion FAS Username: tc01 Why not in Fedora: While tilem is GPLv3, and while purely FOSS firmware exists for the TI-84+, a ROM dump of a calculator is required in order to emulate it, and the image of a calculator's ROM (containing e.g. TI's proprietary boot code) is not legal to redistribute. Thus even though the new Fedora emulator policy is less restrictive, I believe tilem is still not allowed in Fedora. rpmlint output: there's no man page for tilem, so this is okay. $ rpmlint ../SRPMS/tilem-2.0-1.fc24.src.rpm 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. $ rpmlint ../RPMS/x86_64/tilem-2.0-1.fc24.x86_64.rpm tilem.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary tilem2 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
