SPEC: http://firewing.fedorapeople.org/pub/SPECS/boxbackup.spec
SRPM:
http://firewing.fedorapeople.org/pub/SRPMS/boxbackup-0.11-0.4.rc8.fc14.src.rpm

I have changed the License tag to "Box Backup GPL", which is the name upstream
gave for the GPLv2-like license with the linking exceptions for OpenSSL and MS
VSS. This makes rpmlint output a new warning:
boxbackup.src: W: invalid-license Box Backup GPL

Although I believe we can ignore this as spot gave the OK. Perhaps we ask him
to look it over quickly again just to be sure?


As for the ownership of /etc/boxbackup, the troublesome part is that both the
client and the server packages store their files in sub-directories of
/etc/boxbackup so I've made both packages own it.

rpmlint also complains about this:
boxbackup.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid /etc/boxbackup boxbackup
boxbackup.x86_64: E: non-standard-dir-perm /etc/boxbackup 0700L
I've done used nonstandard permissions (boxbackup:root 0700) to prevent outside
users from taking peeks at the backup configuration (for either the client or
server) or from gaining access to the certificates/encryption keys.
