Actually, I fixed fflas-ffpack in git on Sep 23.  The problem is that
"make check" segfaults on ARM, due to the now well-known "atlas
segfaults on ARM" problem.  See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1011648.  There has been
no news posted to that bug, nor to fedora-devel-list, so I don't know
who is working on fixing atlas on ARM, nor when we can expect a fixed
build.  I see that the maintainer disabled checks for the atlas
package to fool the build system into thinking it had built
successfully.  I don't know what the point of that was.  It still
leaves packages like fflas-ffpack broken.

Does anybody know what progress is being made towards getting a
working atlas package on ARM?  Thanks,
