I really don't have the time. The author has an unusual way of packaging his
stuff which doesn't fit well with Fedora. While its possible to change it
around
and reduce the rpmlint complaints, I don't have the time necessary to do so.

If anyone wants to pick this up, internals/internals.conf is where you'd have
to
change some stuff but some custom patching will probably still be required. I'm
working on another of his packages that has another unusual layout, its
possible to make it fit in Fedora but its not easy.
