Ah, ok. So you started from an old version of the .spec file I was using. That
explains everything :-)

:-)

Yes, I was using the .spec file a lot, at first just to generate .rpm files
when I made a release, but very often lately since I switched from Ubuntu to
Fedora, to generate pacakges that I could easily install in my system to dog
food frogr.

However, I never thought about publishing it myself because I had no clue about
the .spec file being correct or not. For me it was a "just works" file that
easily generated .rpm files when I needed it, without needed to worry too much
about being a proper spec file, which would probably need to follow some
guidelines/rules/whatever that I, as an unexperienced Fedora user, had no idea
about.

Actually the initial version of that .spec file was not written by me and I
just cared about updating it whenever needed to keep generating rpms when I
needed it.

Anyway, I agree with you that it's weird to have that .spec file in there and
not having pushed for integrating frogr in Fedora before, but as I said in a
comment to my last post about frogr, the simple reason for that is that I
lacked the self-confidence and the knowledge on the processes in the Fedora
community for doing that, so I just went for the "dear lazyweb" approach of
asking the world to help me with packaging issues :-)

Great! And glad again to see that frogr is reaching fedora in one way or
another :-)
