Thanks for this new package. :-)

I have a few comments about it, see below...

I see you have tried to push that patch upstream, so it would be nice to
add the URL to the merge request:

nwipe itself does not use fork(), so you don;t need that depends.

Not needed, no use of fork().

You should probably use the latest commit. 0.17 is more than one-year
old, and there have been a few fixes applied to the tree since then.

> +NWIPE_SITE = $(call github,martijnvanbrummelen,nwipe,$(NWIPE_VERSION))

Indeed, it is not v2+.

> +NWIPE_LICENSE_FILES = COPYING
> +NWIPE_AUTORECONF = YES

We usually add a comment that explains why we need to autoreconf:

    # Straight our of the repository, no ./configure
    NWIPE_AUTORECONF = YES

Care to fix and respin, please?  Thanks! :-)

Yann E. MORIN.
