Description:
Spark is a physical simulation system. The primary purpose of this system is
to provide a *generic* simulator for different kinds of simulations.
In these simulations, agents can participate as external processes.

Koji build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1139976

Rpmlint output: 
Doesn't report any errors for src.rpm and spec files. But for rpm packages:
simspark.x86_64: W: dangling-symlink /usr/share/simspark/fonts/VeraMono.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
simspark.x86_64: W: symlink-should-be-relative
/usr/share/simspark/fonts/VeraMono.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
simspark-devel.x86_64: E: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib

Due to the new font packaging guidelines, this package doesn't contain any font
files and it points to a font from dejavu-fonts-sans-mono package instead. And
this package requires dejavu-fonts-sans-mono because of this.

Extra comments: 
In the latest version of rcssserver3d package (rcssserver3d-0.6 package is
already in Fedora), this package is split into some sub-packages by upstream.
Two main sub-packages are simspark and rcssserver3d. simspark package provides
core libraries which were previously part of rcssserver3d package. But since
simspark is a generic simulation framework and not soccer specific, it is
provided as a separate package now.
So, the next version of rcssserver3d package (version 0.6.1 and later versions)
will depend on this package.

A question:
Because of this separation, this package have a few files in /usr/bin which
conflicts with rcssserver3d-0.6. (But rcssserver3d-0.6.1 won't have any
conflicting files with simspark package). Therefore, users which simply update
rcssserver3d will not face any problems, but if someone which has
rcssserver3d-0.6 decides to install simspark, he can't do that since these
packages have some conflicting files. 
Should I add a Conflicts: section to simspark spec file?!
