[Fedora-packaging] Different source / binary package names

[Dridi Boukelmoune]

Hi,

This will create two packages, probably not what you want, right ?

Why not simply name the package plasma-widget-x2go ?
It only means you can't use %{name} in the Source tag, am I missing something ?

And of course you'd have to tweak your %setup with the right params.
