Spec URL: http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/xfconf/xfconf.spec
SRPM URL:
http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/xfconf/xfconf-4.5.92-1.fc11.src.rpm
Description: 

Xfconf is a hierarchical (tree-like) configuration system where the
immediate child nodes of the root are called "channels".  All settings
beneath the channel nodes are called "properties."

Several things of note: 

This package requires libxfce4util-4.5.92 to build. There is a copy of this
src.rpm in:
http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/xfconf/libxfce4util-4.5.92-1.fc11.src.rpm

rpmlint has some nasty things to say about the perl subpackage: 
xfconf-perl.x86_64: W: perl-temp-file
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod
xfconf-perl.x86_64: E: zero-length
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Xfce4/Xfconf/Xfconf.bs
xfconf-perl.x86_64: W: hidden-file-or-dir
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Xfce4/Xfconf/.packlist
xfconf-perl.x86_64: W: perl-temp-file
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Xfce4/Xfconf/.packlist
xfconf-perl.x86_64: E: non-standard-executable-perm
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Xfce4/Xfconf/Xfconf.so
0555
xfconf-perl.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Xfce4/Xfconf/Install/xfconfperl-autogen.h
xfconf-perl.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Xfce4/Xfconf/Install/xfconfperl.h

I am open to suggestion on how to clean those up. 
Are the .packlist files needed? Is mode 555 really bad for a perl shared
module?
Should I really make a perl-devel subpackage for 2 files?
