Updated.

Ok. The .spec file has one. I put it so that people know there is a
automatic clean option. In subsequent slides, I have highlighted the
cleaning that takes place in the output.

Now the slide uses rpmls.

Updated.

Updated in a new 'Notes' slide.

Have now provided link to Koji documentation.

Updated. Have also mentioned about "# %foo" in the Notes slide. Please
use version 1.1. Thanks for your feedback.
