------- Additional Comments From paul at city-fan.org  2005-11-10 09:11 EST -------
Some minor issues whilst awaiting resolution of the bigger ones:

* Please use full URLs for the sources:
Source0: http://ghdl.free.fr/ghdl-%{version}.tar.bz2
Source1: ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-%{gccver}/gcc-core-%{gccver}.tar.bz2

* Please use the standard Extras buildroot:
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

* The %description seems excessively long to me. How about this:
GHDL is a VHDL simulator, using the GCC technology. VHDL is a language
standardized by the IEEE, intended for developing electronic systems. GHDL
implements the VHDL language according to the IEEE 1076-1987 or the IEEE
1076-1993 standard. It compiles VHDL files and creates a binary that simulates
(or executes) your design. GHDL does not do synthesis: it cannot translate your
design into a netlist.

Since GHDL is a compiler (i.e., it generates object files), you can call
functions or procedures written in a foreign language, such as C, C++, or
Ada95.

* Please include the ghdl.info file in the files list, with appropriate
scriptlets to install it (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ScriptletSnippets)
