------- Additional Comments From dan at danny.cz  2006-06-09 11:09 EST -------
Here we go ...

- rpmlint warns about not stripped binaries and libraries => add "-s" option
when calling install for the binaries, could work also for the lib
- when compiling edhead there is a security warning which recommends to use
mkstemp instead of tempnam - you could create a patch and send it also upstream
- Makefile should use ${RPM_OPT_FLAGS} for CFLAGS instead of direct "-g -O2"
- when creating the shared lib use $(CC) instead of direct "cc"
- licensing - in the source files for libwcs I see LGPL => the subpackage should
 have LGPL, but the license for the binaries is unclear, please clarify, you
should (as written in the Package Review Guidelines) also ask the upstream to
include separate license files with the distributed archive
- the libwcs subpackage should go into System Environment/Libraries group, the
-devel subpackage is correctly in Development/Libraries
- the libwcs subpackage should provide libwcs.so.3 and not libwcs.so.3.0.0 - 
you need to play with the link stage (library's name/soname?)
