Hi Chris,

Bugzilla is down so I'm doing it this way. Thanks for the review.

About the missing BR I failed to add that its needed for the devel branch too,
things just worked on my system because I already had the needed devel-package
installed.

About the name, I wans't sure about this myself, so now I've changed the name to
xgalaxy (googled, not taken already).

New SRPM and spec are at:

Regards,

Hans

The name is most likely not a problem, because the people with the rights to the
original name probably don't care. xgalaga has existed under this name for a
long time without trouble.

Then again the name had both me and you worried and those are valid worries the
name is a legal problem. Even if the other party _probably_ doesn't care it
still is a legal issue. It is the _probably_ that scares me and untill the "upto
now" part of upto now this hasn't been a problem. If the people with the rights
to the name one day all of a sudden do start caring, or get a grudge against OSS
we've a problem, which I would rather avoid. Since I've already done the hard
work of renaming (and recreating the "logo") I think its best / safest to stick
with the new name.

Regards,

Hans
