The scripts used only during the build can be removed.

The documentation for convert and x2gs mainly talks about them with these
names.  It mentions that they also exist under a different name in the default
path, but treats the short names as the main ones.

I guess I've already invalidated the documentation somewhat by moving the
README*, FONT* and similar files to defaultdocdir.  The manual pages refers to
these as /usr/share/ttf2pt1/README etc.  But this feels a bit more invasive.

Or is it part of packaging to actually rewrite the documentation for the
package?

Maybe, maybe not.  It describes what "convert" should do, and in that sense has
some similarities with a Makefile.  There may be several such files, each
converting different sources.

But in any case, I wouldn't change such a thing in the role of packager, would
I?  That seems like a discussion to have with upstreams if one want to change
it.

> convert.cfg.sample should certainly better be in %doc

Same problem with documentation as I mentioned above, but ok.

> t1asm is already in t1utils

Good point.  I'll remove it from this package and add a "requires" dependency
instead.

> Also which file is covered by the  GPLv2+?

The TeX scripts for CJK fonts.  In /usr/share/doc/ttf2pt1-3.4.4/TeX in the
current package.  See the thread
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legal-list/2008-September/msg00012.html
for my questions about licensing.

> Also forgot to say that the use fakeroot certainly deserves a comment.

True.  I'll add a comment in the SPEC file.

I've made an intermediate update available:

Spec URL: ftp://ftp.uddeborg.se/pub/ttf2pt1/ttf2pt1.spec
SRPM URL: ftp://ftp.uddeborg.se/pub/ttf2pt1/ttf2pt1-3.4.4-5.src.rpm

(The convert and x2gs scripts are still included, and I haven't touched how
"convert" finds its configuration file.  I'll wait for further comments on that
before I do anything.)
