[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>]

Hello,

Thanks for this contribution. See below for some comments.

First, the commit title should be "reaver: new package"

What is the "t6x github fork" ?

Addition of an entry in the DEVELOPERS file is missing, and also the
hash file is missing. Could you add these ?

Unneeded empty new line.

Ditto.

Also, could you test your package with ./utils/test-pkg, to make sure
it builds properly with some basic toolchain configurations ?

Lines are too long, they should be wrapped at 72 characters. If you
run ./utils/check-package package/reaver/* you will see a number of
warnings about your package. They should be fixed before submission.

Also, please add the URL of the upstream project in the Config.in help
text. See how it's done in other packages.

This last line is not needed.

If you could fix those issues and submit an updated version, it would
be nice. Don't forget to use "git format-patch -v2" for the new
version, and add a changelog of what has been changed.

Thanks!
