rpmlint complains about: 
W: xbase invalid-license LGPL (binaries GPL)

but I wouldn't see this as a blocker

+ source matches upstream
+ builds in mock
+ -devel subpackage with .a, .so, headers and documentation

- builds not on my system because of missing BR: doxygen

According to http://fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/4/i386/buildroots.xml
doxygen is part of build and therefore it works in mock. But as it is
not part of
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines#head-5e0efda65c4d4266d60c269ced6ea1c28051cb6e
I think it has to be added.

Maybe only the html documentation or the latex should be part of the
package and not both. Especially as the tex files are not compiled it
probably makes more sense to only include the html docs.
