Backed down to 0.11.2.  I didn't mean that the svn made packaging more solid,
just that I wanted to be ready for 0.12 and all of its changes, but not a big
deal.  This builds perfectly for me.  I fixed the rpmlint errors (typos in
copying from the guidelines that surprising didn't cause build to failure,
didn't even realize they weren't right, sorry).

New links below.  Just gave the upstream pristine 0.11.2 tarball link, included
the actual SRPM, and renamed my copy of the spec file just to make it clear for
everyone that it's not the same as the non-Fedora .spec included in the
upstream tarball.

Spec URL: http://middleditch.us/sean/gnome-mud.f11.spec
SRPM URL: http://middleditch.us/sean/gnome-mud-0.11.2-1.src.rpm
TGZ URL:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-mud/0.11/gnome-mud-0.11.2.tar.gz

rpmbuild output:
elanthis at localhost:~/Source/gnome-mud-11.2$ rpmlint gnome-mud.f11.spec
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

I double checked that rpmbuild -ba produces installable and usable binary
packages and that rpmbuild --rebuild works properly on the resulting srpm.

Also, as a side question, is there any place that better documents the
guidelines for packaging GNOME applications?  I copied the gconf and
scrollkeeper bits from another package, but I don't know if what I copied is
"best practice" or not.  The build/install tricks for those two always were
kind of horrid, but figured I'd ask.  (I maintained the GNOME 2.0 desktop
packages for Arch Linux years and years ago; I'm obviously rusty at this
packaging business, not to mention Fedora packaging and RPM are totally new to
me.)
