--- Comment #1 from Orcan 'oget' Ogetbil <oget.fedora at gmail.com>  2009-01-17 18:05:35 EDT ---
The full review arrived!

* Summary and especially the description are bizarre. Can you update them. You
can find these on the manpage:
    Xinerama - API for Xinerama extension to X11 Protocol   

    Xinerama is a simple library designed to interface the Xinerama Extension
for 
    retrieving information about physical output devices which may be combined 
    into a single logical X screen.

* rpmlint says
   libXinerama.src:18: W: unversioned-explicit-obsoletes XFree86-libs
   libXinerama.src:18: W: unversioned-explicit-obsoletes xorg-x11-libs
   libXinerama.src:32: W: unversioned-explicit-obsoletes XFree86-devel
   libXinerama.src:32: W: unversioned-explicit-obsoletes xorg-x11-devel
   libXinerama.x86_64: E: zero-length /usr/share/doc/libXinerama-1.0.3/AUTHORS
   libXinerama.x86_64: E: zero-length /usr/share/doc/libXinerama-1.0.3/README
   libXinerama.x86_64: W: obsolete-not-provided XFree86-libs
   libXinerama.x86_64: W: obsolete-not-provided xorg-x11-libs
   libXinerama-devel.x86_64: W: obsolete-not-provided XFree86-devel
   libXinerama-devel.x86_64: W: obsolete-not-provided xorg-x11-devel
The zero-length files are obviously not needed so they should be removed. The
obsoletes look very problematic. Can you fix those (or alternatively explain
them in the SPEC file as comments)?

* BR: libXau-devel is not needed. Afaict it is not used.

* BRs: libX11-devel pkgconfig and xorg-x11-proto-devel are not needed. They
will be picked up by libXext-devel.

* Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for
directory ownership and usability). This applies to the devel package.

! Try to make use of the %{name} macro (e.g. files sections).

* Parallel make must be supported whenever possible. If it is not supported,
this should be noted in the SPEC file as a comment.


Added Adam and Matthias to CC since they are the last two known maintainers.
Sorry if this was not desired.
