Thanks for the clarification, ultimately it was an oversight on my
part, and the package review. Maybe one of the easy ways to pick it up
is a check in rpmlint.
s/a check/the check/
This is what rpmlint has to say about gupnp-vala.spec, 0.5.3-3%{?dist} from
CVS's devel branch with "BuildArch: noarch" added:
$ rpmlint ./gupnp-vala.spec
./gupnp-vala.spec:61: W: libdir-macro-in-noarch-package (main package)
%{_libdir}/pkgconfig/gupnp-vala-1.0.pc
