If you don't follow each guideline your package cannot be approved. Therefore
start correcting the one you noticed.

Then run rpmlint and correct the errors you'll get.

After that scrap all the ugly non-fedora bits like: 
[ "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" != "/" ] && rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

I suggest you to read other spec files that are in Fedora to improve your knowledge.

It is not a good choice to present a package review for an outdated version.
Just think about the security problem version 4.5 probably had and that have
been corrected in 4.5.19.

You really should do subpackages. Thus the user can choose to install only the
subpackages he needs.
