> I'm happy to take this up, but can you provide some details on why this is not
going as an update to the 'gfal' package, which is already in Fedora?

gfal 2.0 breaks API compatibility of gfal 1.0, it's a new library written from
scratch.

The both can coexist and will have to coexist in order to make the migration
easy.

The source comes from the Source0 field, that is a tarball "tagged".

The commented link present of the spec is purely indicative and provides a
direct link to the upstream of the component.
This format follow the same pattern than in the other already approved
lcg-utils components :

> The version number also looks special.

gfal 2.0 is still in pre-release and normally follows packaging name rules for
pre-releases :
