Hi Chris,
Bugzilla is down so I'm doing it this way. Thanks for the review.
About the missing BR I failed to add that its needed for the devel branch too, things just worked on my system because I already had the needed devel-package installed.
About the name, I wans't sure about this myself, so now I've changed the name to xgalaxy (googled, not taken already).
New SRPM and spec are at:

Regards,

okay ill take a look at this tomorrow, been really busy today and didnt get the chance to look at it.
Do you think the name is going to be a problem? I'd prefer xgalaga, but then again, it's probably better to be safe than sorry.
The name is most likely not a problem, because the people with the rights to the original name probably don't care. xgalaga has existed under this name for a long time without trouble.
Then again the name had both me and you worried and those are valid worries the name is a legal problem. Even if the other party _probably_ doesn't care it still is a legal issue. It is the _probably_ that scares me and untill the "upto now" part of upto now this hasn't been a problem. If the people with the rights to the name one day all of a sudden do start caring, or get a grudge against OSS we've a problem, which I would rather avoid. Since I've already done the hard work of renaming (and recreating the "logo") I think its best / safest to stick with the new name.
Regards,
Hans
