$ rpmlint libvpd-1.4.0-2.src.rpm 
libvpd.src:17: W: unversioned-explicit-provides libvpd_cxx


> #! /usr/bin/rpm

What's that? Spec files are not executable, RPM is at /bin/rpm,
and you cannot execute a spec file via rpm anyway.


> %define name libvpd
> %define version 1.4.0

These are completely redundant, because %{name} and %{version}
are defined by the following tags already:

Name:		%{name}
Version:	%{version}


> %configure --prefix=%{_prefix}/ --disable-static

The --prefix=/usr is default, see:  rpm --eval %configure


> /usr/bin/make %{?_smp_mflags}

Use just "make" in $PATH or %{__make}


> %clean 
> /bin/rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

Same here. Prefer "rm" or %{__rm}


> %doc COPYING INSTALL NEWS README TODO

The INSTALL file is irrelevant to RPM package users.


> %exclude %{_libdir}/*.la
> %{_libdir}/libvpd_cxx*
> %{_libdir}/libvpd*

This looks suspicious. Examining it further below.


> %files devel
> %defattr(-,root,root)
> %doc COPYING INSTALL NEWS README TODO

Don't duplicate the %doc files here, they are included in the
main package already. And -devel pkgs require the main package.

Where are the linkable libvpd.so and libvpd_cxx.so? They belong
into the -devel package, but instead the main package includes
mysterious /usr/lib/libvpd and /usr/lib/libvpd_cxx without the
*.so extension.

$ rpmls -p libvpd-devel-1.4.0-2.fc8.i386.rpm |grep so
$

That's a blocker.
