Well, the best I could do to figure what it should be was to look at other spec
files and try to guess, so lets see if this is ok now.

no, this is the first RPM so it would make no sense why I need to update the
changelog at this point, all I have done is corrected the spec file to try and
get it released in the first place.

ok, removed.

I didnt want this to be a game category because its not just a game emulator,
its a dos emulator, but I have changed it anyways.

You told me before forget the source URL, you just wanted to know why I was
packaging a SVN release,

Thats done now.

I tried, from the information I have available.

I dont know of any opt flags needed, I remember going over all this stuff, and
its not because I just dont know anything, 


> - Text files are not UTF-8.

rpmlint only reported certain files needed to be converted, I dont know that I
have to convert every file to UTF now.


I've uploaded the updated files to the place listed above at fedorapeople.org,
I fixed everything I could find, so in case there are still small errors, its
not because I didnt bother to read the guidelines, its easy to see who wrote
the docs knows everything about it.
