To me is fine, you can add me as co-mantainer or make me directly the owner of
the el5, el6, f17, f18 branches.

Sorry, it was a leftover from another spec file from which I did copy the text.
It will probably be needed at rhel 7 release time to make the upgrade from RHEL
6 (SysV) to the RHEL 7 (systemd) package.
I will add it to the RHEL 6 branch when it will be time.

Well, I would prefer that a text file goes along with the package, I think it
would be better to leave that in.

I'm pretty sure someone will open a bug saying that the required modules are
missing or another discussion will rise. It's clear for you (and now all the
people here in CC) but not for people looking for a way to install the tools in
Fedora et al.

Maybe you can expand it adding the explanation you did on comment #29. That
would be good information, along the kernel drivers information.

Yes, please integrate, probably rpmdev-newspec is not on par with the Packaging
Guidelines.

Yes, but please add api docs only to the devel subpackage and not in a separate
help subpackage.

Thanks,
