This was a bit of a mess.

This package was last built successfully for F-11.

I have taken ownership of the orphaned package and built it for F-12. 
For F-13, there were numerous upgrades from 1.0-M4 all the way to 1.2. 
Unfortunately, none of these ever built, most were never tagged, and 1.2 
has a number of build dependencies for packages that don't exist 
currently in Fedora.

It's not pretty, but I regressed the F-13 spec file back to the F-12 
version (1.0-3.2.M2) which is the last successful version to build.  I 
have documented what I did and what packages were missing so 1.2 work 
can resume if/when needed.  There is work under-way by akurtakov to try 
and remove the need for the geronimo-specs package altogether.

The package has been built in rawhide and the FTBFS bug 511494 has been 
closed.
