MUSTFIX:

- Package's NEVR doesn't comply to 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Non-Numeric_Version_in_Release

- Package doesn't install *info's correctly.
Something similar to this is missing:

Requires(post): /sbin/install-info
Requires(pre): /sbin/install-info

%post
/sbin/install-info \
  --info-dir=/usr/share/info /usr/share/info/mpfi.info.gz || :

%preun:
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
  /sbin/install-info --delete \
    --info-dir=/usr/share/info /usr/share/info/mpfi.info.gz || :
fi


- Package split: Provided this package doesn't provide any run-time usable
library or applications, and contains devel-docs only, the "mpfi base package"
doesn't make sense, IMO.

My recommendation: Move the info file to *-devel and don't ship a base package.


CONSIDER:

I am not sure if shipping this package makes much sense, because browsing their
site indicates this project might be pretty much dead (Take into account, you
are building from a 2.5 years old "release candidate" tarball).
