So first round of issues found during the review
- wrong Group tags are used - check /usr/share/doc/rpm-*/GROUPS for valid group
names, I suggest to use System Environment/Daemons (nufw, nuauth) , System
Environment/Libraries (client library, pam), Applications/Internet (utils),
Development/Libraries (for -devel), Development/Languages (for the python
bindings)
- drop the %{epoch} from the Provides/Requires/... as it is not defined/used
- preserve timestamps on manually installed files - use "cp -p" or "install -p"
- license is GPLv2 only, there is no "or any later version" clause in the
sources
- license text included in the source archive, but not included in any package
as %doc
- %{_sysconfdir}/nufw/ is owned by multiple packages (nufw, nufw-utils,
nuauth), only one should really own it, other packages get it through the
dependencies
- wrong initscript scriplets and package dependencies
- wrong shared library scriptlets (%postun is missing)
- %defattr(-,root,root,-) should be used
- no need to specify --localstatedir when running %configure, it is set to /var
automatically
- static library and *.la archive are packaged in -devel (use %exclude in
%files or "rm" in %install)
- including the whole "doc" directory as %doc is not necessary, grab only the
README.* and the non-manpages (acls, cache_system and debug)
- the included initscript are not compliant with Fedora - LSB header is
missing, service is enabled by default, ...
- the auth and log modules are linked as shared libs (including the version
info), so they install *.so, *.so.0 and *.so.0.0.0 - they should use
"-avoid-version" in the link command
- don't use /var/... in %file, use %{_localstatedir} instead
- the %description for -utils talks about nutcpc, but it is stored in its own
sub-package
- split the Provides for nuauth to multiple lines
- there is no need for the Obsoletes for nuauth
- the Requires for nuauth are wrong, there are no such packages like
sasl-plug-*, you want probably cyrus-sasl-*
- the pam module contains rpath and the BuildRequire: chrpath is not used
- the library subpackage is usually called foo-libs with headers in foo-devel,
you can "Provide: libnuclient" for compatibility
- why not to rename the nufw-nuauth-* packages only to nuath-*

Please read the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines and linked
pages for details.
