On a separate unrelated note, please do not append "a" to the RPM Version

means you have to keep changing the epoch [31! wow :-(] The correct way is
to have a 0.a. or similar in the Release field.
This is documented in the packaging guidelines:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PreReleasePackages
That package was released before I read policy :) Now all is quite
correct (9.5.0-18.a7)
I was going to go off on you for using 8.5.0a5 in the %version, but then
I checked what was actually on my nameserver and saw you didn't flub that
up. :-)
However, a minor point to note in the future is that it really ought to
be 9.5.0-0.18.a7, as per:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#head-d97a3f40b6dd9d2288206ac9bd8f1bf9b791b22a
...but I'll let you get by with a light slap on the wrist. ;-)
