Thanks for the input :)

I tried to use this approach for conditional build but somehow was unsuccessful.
 If this approach is absolutely needed, I will spend more time and fix it. (At
this moment my attempt is commented out for your reference)

I am on it, thank you for letting me know about the issue.

Am i supposed to set the Directory permissions to a particular value? If that is
the case I applied the same permissions as was done for GIMP.

> * libtool .la files
>   - must be removed.

Done. I was getting a build error, and for that reason i had to add the macro
%define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0.

> * EVR (Epoch-Version-Release) specific dependency
>   - The dependency between subpackages must be EVR (not only Version)
>     specific.

Added, I hope it has been done correctly.

> * /sbin/ldconfig
>   - (Usually, and actually for this package) calling 
>     /sbin/ldconfig is not needed for -devel package.

Commented out.

> * Static archive
>   - Packaging static archive is forbidden when providing shared
>     libraries, please remove them.
>     Also please check if configure accepts --disable-static option.

Removed the static libraries. The present script when run with --without
static_libs works fine, and disables static libs.

> * Info file
>   - Files under %_infodir are automatically marked as %doc.

I ve removed the %doc tag.

> * Changelog
>   - Please check

Fixed, I am now using the date format as mentioned on the website.

>   - One %changelog must be written in one spec file.
>     i.e. writting %changelog for every subpackage is not allowed.
>          These %changelog's must be unified.

Done.

Okay, thanks, I think it would be best to add this once you are happy with the
present state of the SPEC file.

I have moved .so files to main package now, there was an issue of dangling
pointers reported by rpmlint tool when the .so files were placed in the devel
package.

> %defattr
>   - We now recommend %defattr(-,root,root,-)

I ve applied 0755 as directory permissions, I am not absolutely clear what you
mean by the package owning the directory.

> * %post/%postun dependency for /sbin/install-info

Are you referring to these?
Requires(post): /sbin/chkconfig /sbin/install-info

Requires(preun): /sbin/service /sbin/install-info



>   ? By the way do you really want to create -doc-en, -doc-cs

I ve merged them to a single documentation package at this point.

Sorry! I have started doing that now, and also maintaining a proper change log.

I suppose at this stage the issues that need to be resolved : 

1]Directory ownership
2]BCond
3]Dotconf packages
4]init scripts - will put the patch as advised by you
5]python packages refuse to get installed correctly. They get installed in a
"build" directory within BUILD and rpmbuild has no way to pick them and put them
in a python package.

Thanks as always for being so helpful :)
