------- Additional Comments From rc040203 at freenet.de  2006-06-01 22:44 EST -------
Some comments:
* IMO, it should be considered to split this package into 2 subpackages: glitz
and glitz-glx, because the package internally consists of libglitz and several
backends, with libglitz-glx being one them.

Splitting it would allow more fine-grained deps, and thereby would help avoid
unnecessary deps of apps/libs based on glitz.

* The deps of the devel package don't seem to be correct:
- libglitz doesn't seem to depend on any X or GL library.
- libglitz-glx seems to depend libX11-devel and libGL-devel, but not on further
libX*-devel, in particular it doesn't not depend on libXt-devel.

* The package ships manpages, but doesn't install them. May-be it's worth
considering to install them.

* The configure script carries several options defaulting to true:
  --disable-glx           Disable glitz's GLX backend
  --disable-agl           Disable glitz's AGL backend
  --enable-egl            Enable glitz's EGL backend
  --disable-wgl           Disable glitz's WGL backend
This will render building this package outside of a chroot-environment
non-deterministic, should one of these GL backends land in Fedora.
I.e. I recommend to add 
--enable-glx --disable-agl --disable-egl --disable-wgl to %configure
