--- Comment #4 from Golo Fuchert <packages at golotop.de> 2010-11-16 16:23:47 EST ---
After having a closer look at the package I would like to point out the
following things:
- The files TODO and README are included in the package. However, they are 
  empty (already in the source tarball). I see no point in including these 
  files then. Maybe you can ask upstream if this is a mistake.
- If you update the version of the software you should reset the release number 
  to 1
- As far as I can tell it is not necessary to require xneur, this dependency is 
  found automagically during the build process.
- The icon tag in the .desktop file should not have an explicit file extension 
  (.png here)

Furthermore, Martin (from comment #3) hinted me at the following points:
- the autotools (autoconf, automake, autoheader, libtool, ...) are only needed
when existing configure.ac or Makefile.am files are changed. This is not the
case here and so they don't have to be included.
- It would be better to be more precise in the %file section. Excessive
globbing might lead to unwanted files being packaged. So it would be better to
make the following changes:
%{_bindir}/*         =>    %{_bindir}/gxneur                            
%{_mandir}/man?/*    =>    %{_mandir}/man1/gxneur.1*
