--- Comment #8 from Martin Gieseking <martin.gieseking at uos.de> 2010-07-13 12:02:28 EDT ---
The package looks OK now. Since %makeinstall usually should not be used, please
add a short comment telling that it's valid here and works without unwanted
side-effects.
I also recommend to be more specific in the %files section to avoid packaging
of unwanted files in future versions, e.g.
%{_includedir}/*.h instead of %{_includedir}/*

$ rpmlint /var/lib/mock/fedora-13-x86_64/result/*.rpm
tinycdb.src: W: no-buildroot-tag
4 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

If you don't plan to build this package for EPEL, the warning can be ignored.
Otherwise, add a buildroot tag and clean the buildroot in %install.
Additionally, Requires: pkgconfig would be necessary.
