This is my first package. 

I generated the .spec file using rpmdev-newspec and then edited it with Xemacs,
the tabs look fine to me. 

rpmbuild doesn't seem to work without the mkdirs, is it expecting them in
Makefile?

My license is the original BSD. I have advertising on my sys_basher website for
my products and services but there is none in the program or in the source
package.

The program requires lm_sensors, is rpmbuild smart enough to figure that out
from the source code?

I'm the author of sys_basher, I wrote it to test hardware reliability and
performance. As far as I know it's the only Linux native hardware diagnostic
available. The unique feature of sys_basher is that it's multi-threaded which
allows it to run CPU, Memory and IO tests on all of the cores in a system
simultaneously. I've written it to operate all of the subsystems at their
maximum possible speeds which ensures that the greatest amount of heat is
generated, the maximum power is used, and the maximum switching noise created.
Sys_basher can find RAM errors that memtest86 can't. I've been designing
computers for 30 years, currently I sell high-speed commnication IP for ASICs
and FPGAs. In the early 90s I had a commercial hardware diagnostic for the Mac
which was sold as both as an end user utility and was used by Mac board
manufacturers, I sold that product off in the mid-90s. 

I'm attaching my current spec file.
