With that out of the way...

>From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines:

* rpmlint is not silent. 
bash-3.1$ rpmlint ./bogl-0.1.18-12.i386.rpm
W: bogl no-url-tag
bash-3.1$ rpmlint ./bogl-bterm-0.1.18-12.i386.rpm
W: bogl-bterm no-url-tag
bash-3.1$ rpmlint ./bogl-debuginfo-0.1.18-12.i386.rpm
W: bogl-debuginfo no-url-tag
bash-3.1$ rpmlint ./bogl-devel-0.1.18-12.i386.rpm
W: bogl-devel no-url-tag
W: bogl-devel no-documentation
bash-3.1$ rpmlint ../../SRPMS/bogl-0.1.18-12.src.rpm
W: bogl no-url-tag
I can see from the comment in the specthat there really aren't any URL
presently, but I think that one should be provided/created.
* There is no use of the %find_lang macro in the spec. There are no locale files
so maybe this is not needed anyway?
* /usr/share/bogl is not owned by any package (use %dir)
* /usr/include/bogl is not owned by any package (use %dir)
* You are using: "Requires: bogl = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}".
  Why not: "Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}" ? Se also my comment
about the epoch tag below.

>From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines:
* Timestamps: Consider using "install -p" and "cp -p". You could use
INSTALL="install -c -p" in your make install command

Other issues:
* I can't see any resaon why you need to use the epoch tag. Version numbers like
0.1.18 are not hard for RPM to parse at all. See e.g. here:
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-inside-tags.html#S3-RPM-INSIDE-REQUIRES-TAG
* There is no COPYING file in the top-level source directory. There should be.
* The following files do not have a license notice:
  - bogl-bgf.c
  - bogl-bgf.h
  - bogl-term.h
  - boxes.h
  - bterm.ti
  - mergebdf
  - README
  - README.BOGL-bterm
  - reduce-font.c
  - utils/add_changelog_line
* There is no explicit copyright notice in any of the source files _except_ for
the following:
  - bogl-term.c
  - bogl-vga16.c
  - *.bdf
* The *.bdf files are not under the GPL, but they appear to be free enough
* bogl does not use autoconf/automake. I really do find that the old Makefile
way is to inflexible.
* Please use "Release: 12%{?dist}" not "Release: 12"
* There is a lot of compile warnings. These warning should be reviewd for
seriousness. I know this is just me being overly strict, but I would prefer the
Werror compile flag to be mandatory for all F[C,E] packages.

HTH,
