Calm down. I had pointed that out already and confirmed that the "sed" usage is
okay in this case.

Is that the only benefit you could think of? To save 25KB of example files you
introduce a separate package (and corresponding repository metadata)? A
separate package which developers, who may have interest in those files, would
need to search for. It would be much more plausible to include those files in
the -devel package. Examples in source code form are Documentation.


> BuildRequires: cmake botan-devel present in spec.

You didn't understand or you didn't pay attention to what I wrote.
"Requires: botan-devel" is missing in ne7ssh-devel

> Should I repeat Summary in %description?? I believe not.

You should start with a sentence that explains what the package contains and
what "It" refers to. Is it an application? A library? What is it? Instead, the
current description starts with "It utilizes Botan library for...". Moving the
third paragraph at the beginning of the description and making it start with
"This SSH library..." would make *a lot* of sense. Give it a second thought,
please. I'm not making up things just for fun.
