>Summary without package name would be nice (as UDAV :-) )
Done.

>Please preserve the time stamps, use ' make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}
INSTALL="install -p" ' if possible instead of ' make install
INSTALL_ROOT=%{buildroot} '
mathgl *does* use configure, so this is Done.

>Use '%defattr(-,root,root,-)' instead of '%defattr(-, root, root)'
Done.


>Will the upstream fix this issue?

Here is what upstream had to say:
---
I understand badness of usage of exit() function. Unfortunately I
don't know how user can terminate the program by other way using GLUT
window :(. So the only suggestion I have is exclude the module
libmgl-glut from the package. The matter is that this is not the part
of MathGL core and the same functionality can be reached by other
widget classes (FLTK or Qt).
---

So yes, if a suitable solution can be found. I haven't looked into it, it may
be trivial or it may not -- I have not used glut for generating windows.
Without suggestions as to the correct way to modify upstream code, no.
