The Summary is great: concise yet understandable (for somebody like me
who has no idea what this package does).

But %description should be a bit longer: what can you do with this package,
what is the output, is special hardware required, etc. Doesn't have to be
exhaustive, one paragraph is enough.

Consider that users who have no idea are sometimes looking for something
in a list of hundreds and hundreds packages and you cannot assume that
they have any area knowledge (the description is not only to let people
use your package, quite often it is to let people know that your package
is not useful for them).

> Version: Using the format YYYYMMDDgitSHORTCOMMIT now.
Yep, that looks good.

> BuildRequires/Requires are now split out onto separate lines.
> What you said about diffability makes good sense.

During review it is customary to bump the revision after major changes,
add stuff to %changelog, and upload the SRPM under a new name. The
spec file is updated in place.

This way it's possible for the review to go back and look at the
previous version.

I don't think it's out-of-date, just slightly dated ;).
There are parts which talk about old Fedora, but it correctly mentions
what applies to newer versions.

I meant rpm package ownership. Your package creates those directories so it
should own them.

> Also I removed the two Requires:, as they were unnecessary. Good ol' rpmlint.
Hm, I don't remember what those were. That's why it's helpful to keep
old srpms accessible.
