--- Comment #16 from Martin Gieseking <martin.gieseking at uos.de> 2011-07-25 12:44:48 EDT ---
OK, the package looks almost fine now. If you provide a new revision of a
package, please always increase the release number, or reset it to 1 in case of
a new upstream version, and document the changes in a new %changelog entry.
This avoids confusion about the different revisions provided.

Please drop all the explicit "Requires" because the dependencies are detected
automatically (check it with rpm -qRp FOO.rpm). If a dependency isn't resolved
automatically, use the corresponding virtual naming rather than the actual
package name as described here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Perl_Requires_and_Provides


If you want to maintain the package for EPEL 4 as well, you must add
%defattr(-,root,root,-) at the top of the %files section. 
The buildroot stuff (BuildRoot field, %clean section, and cleaning of the
buildroot in %install) is only required for EPEL < 6. You can drop them
otherwise. But that's optional.

/usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file
instead of the file itself.
[+] SHOULD: Your package should contain man pages for binaries/scripts.
