With a small number of changes to the spec file, sodipodi compiled fine. The problem though is that it's at version 0.34 (which is fine, so is the upstream version - but it's over a year old). IMO, if a package isn't picked up after (say) 6 months, it should be dropped. If someone wants to take it back up, they should go through the new package procedure.
