The SRPMs look different because for upstream release 0.9.4, I had replaced the
homebrewn make system by standard GNU Autools, and this new package has been
adopted by upstream. As a matter of fact, the main developer D. Price has
granted me commit rights for the upstream code repository which is also
beneficial for supporting a future Fedora package.

The alternate package by C. Meng is based on the obsolete release 0.9.3 which
requires a lot of dirty hacks in the spec file. Moreover, it completely lacks
support for (c)pgplot which most users are more interested in than in using
giza itself; it actually packages the giza backend alone and not the (c)pgplot
wrapper libraries.

> %install
> rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

Ok, I can change that. I am unpleasantly surprised, however, that the spec
file, and in particular the parts incriminated by you have been provided by the
very official eclipse-fedorapackager plugin (!) after precisely choosing a
Fedora library project.
