You're currently adding "Requires: bash >= 2.0" to gpm package. Is this really
needed? Bash < 2.0 existed before 1998 in Red Hat Linux - that was just before
Red Hat Linux 5.2. If we still need it, please explain the need for it.

Do we really need the static library? If yes, we need a -static subpackage. But
personally, I don't see a need for a *.a file - can we remove it?

I think, we can ignore macro-in-%changelog warnings, there's nothing which gets
expanded here.

Do we really need to package the TODO file as %doc? That seems to be needed for
upstream, not for downstream, yes? If we need it, we have to convert it to UTF8
using e.g. the following:

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 -o TODO.utf8 TODO
touch -c -r TODO TODO.utf8
mv -f TODO.utf8 TODO

We can't fix W: strange-permission gpm.init 0755 as CVS won't let us do this,
AFAIK. Please have a look in the future, that you're importing/adding files
with the correct permissions, please (0644) - thanks.

BTW, somebody an idea, what causes W: unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/lib64/
libgpm.so.2.1.0 and how to solve it?


Zdenek - please take action, thank you.
