[fedora-india] [X post] recoll review request help : using modified versions of libraries for build

[Ankur Sinha]

hi,

I'd like to confirm if I can approve recoll[1] which uses some build
deps that it ships in the tar itself. Namely, "unac" and "binc imap".

AFAIK, these need to be packaged separately and then used as BRs.
However, the modifications made for use in the package make it a little
complex. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thank you.
