The article is a bit older, unfortunately, and things changed a bit with
keychain since its publishing.

keychain does not obsoletes both tools - it just makes their usage more
comfortable. I am sure you know that, just want to point that out again
for other readers.

From guideline reading I found that the dist tag isn't mandatory and as
it is a noarch package I thought it would have been ok to omit the tag.
Changed it though.

Both the .spec and the src.rpm are renewed and available at:

http://www.uni-x.org/keychain-2.5.4.1-1.src.rpm
