I don't seem to get the program working with Youtube on Fedora 15.

error: /usr/share/quvi/lua/website/youtube.lua:114: no match: fmt_url_map -->

Looks like the 2.16.1 doesn't work either: "Expected Perl-style regular
expression, e.g. /pattern/flags"

Concerning %config(noreplace): I don't know NomNom, but I don't consider using
noreplace a disadvantage. If the user made a change in that case, the old
configuration stays in place and the new configuration is saved as .rpmnew. 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Configuration_files

Do you think keeping the old version's configuration might stop the new
package's version from working?

You can also include a copy of the configuration file as an additional source,
instead of specifying it line by line in the spec file. A more elegant way to
do it, if you want to keep it in the spec for some reason:

cat > file_to_write_to <<EOF
your text

and even more text
EOF

Two remarks:

- It is common to leave a line blank between changelog entries, like so:

* Sat Aug 27 2011 Nicoleau Fabien <nicoleau.fabien at gmail.com> 0.1.4-2
- License fix
- Remove unnecessary commands
- Handle locales properly

* Fri Jun 24 2011 Nicoleau Fabien <nicoleau.fabien at gmail.com> 0.1.4-1

- "Remove unnecessary commands" is pretty generic and nobody reading only the
changelog can guess what changed. Please be more specific!


>From a packaging point of view, nothing is blocking the package. I'll make the
formal review after we've sorted out, whether it is a quvi or NomNom problem.
