I believe this Version-Release tuple does not satisfy naming guidelines. [1] It
seems to be an alpha pre-release, and you need to make sure you have a clean
upgrade path once it hits final 3.8.

Upstream versioning looks like a mess. What does the "g4" part in there mean?

I think version and release should be something like:
Version:        3.8
Release:        0.2.alpha%{?dist}

When you change anything in the spec file, just update Release to
"0.3.alpha%{?dist}". Once there is a final 3.8 release, you can change the
Release to "1%{?dist}". This way ensures that every new Version-Release tuple
is numerically higher than the previous one.
