Is it the case that /usr/lib/cinnamon/libcinnamon.so is not used by anything
other than cinnamon itself?  If so, then my interpretation of the packaging
guidelines for devel packages is that the unversioned .so is OK in a non-devel
package.

Otherwise, without knowing why there should be an exception to a MUST item in a
package review, beyond that another Fedora package does it, I wouldn't feel
qualified to sign off on an exception. As far as I can tell, the original
package review of gnome-shell (bug #516654) did not address this requirement at
all.

I do see that the explicit library dependency on librsvg2(x86-32) was approved
for gnome-shell, and that exception seems to be justified for cinnamon also.

> Are you reviewing the latest srpm? because that file doesn't exist!

Yes, I ran fedora-review on the SRPM you provided for 1.4.0-2.UP1, and that was
reported.  I'll check it manually.

> I will version the patches, as for using the -b flag,
> no it causes crap like this

I use -b in all my packages, and have never once seen it cause a
backup-file-in-package problem.  Perhaps that's because I generally avoid
wildcards without extensions (or whole directories) in the %files ection. 
However, that was only a suggestion so you're free to ignore it.
