It's about time someone reviewed this, isn't it?  Rpmlint shows some things
that need to be fixed.

star.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/star-1.5/AN-1.5
star.spec:84: E: hardcoded-library-path in %{_prefix}/lib
star.spec:201: W: macro-in-%changelog files
star.spec: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 36, tab: line 51)
2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 4 errors, 3 warnings.

The first warning is triggered because of some ISO8859-1 characters in the
file.  Please convert that file to UTF-8.

The second warning is harmless.

To fix the third warning, change "%files" to "%%files" in the changelog entry
of Fri Aug 26 2005.

Please also fix the fourth warning by using either spaces or tabs, but not
both.

MUST items:
XX: rpmlint output (see above)
OK: package named according to package naming guidelines
OK: spec file name matches package name
XX: package meets packaging guidelines

First, there are no comments on the patches, as required by
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#All_patches_should_have_an_upstream_bug_link_or_comment

Second, the BuildRoot does not contain %{release}, as required by
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#BuildRoot_tag

NA: appropriate use of ExcludeARch
OK: all build dependencies in BuildRequires
NA: proper locale handling
NA: call ldconfig in %post and %postun
OK: no relocatable packages

OK: no duplicate listings in %files
OK: permissions on files are set correctly
OK: appropriate %clean section
OK: consistent use of macros
OK: code or permissible content
NA: large documentation in -doc
OK: no runtime dependencies in %doc
NA: header files in -devel
NA: static libraries in -static

OK: package builds and compiles on all supported arches
OK: package functions as described (minimal testing only)
OK: sane scriptlets
