The mixed-spaces-tabs warning is due to a bug in rpmlint, if you update to
rpmlint-0.87-1 (currently in the testing repo) where the bug has been fixed,
the warning goes away.

The %post script generates the two files labelled as %ghost in the filelist:
%ghost %{_datadir}/globus/setup/globus-sh-tools-vars.sh
%ghost %{_datadir}/globus/globus-sh-tools-vars.sh

These are GPT (grid-packaging-tools) metadata files, used by e.g. gpt-verify
and other GPT tools.

I think a script is an overkill here, since the instructions are quite simple
(extract a complete subdirectory) and can be stated in a comment. The reviewer
of globus-core had a similar request (at the time there was no comment in the
spec files), and when I added the comment as it is now he was satisfied with
it.
