As a matter of fact I did some serious trying to get the initng rpm's
pretty enough for Fedora Extras a while ago (according to the guidelines
at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/NewPackageProcess). I never got
rpmlint to like my rpm's though. I don't have much spare time, but if
anyone that is good at rpm building would just give me a hand with
fixing up the spec file, I'd be happy to maintain the package.
