I did read the README which says that all that is needed to be done is:

make

Thanks for this! I also implemented the suggestions made by Gordon and here is the spec file (for whoever is interested):

~$ fpaste  luksipc.spec
Uploading (1.6KiB)...
http://ur1.ca/obxst -> http://paste.fedoraproject.org/295935/14489132


Btw, rpmlint gives some warnings:

$ rpmlint luksipc-0.04-1.fc23.src.rpm 
luksipc.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US unencrypted -> encrypted
luksipc.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US filesystem -> file system, file-system, systemically
luksipc.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US Unmounting -> Mounting, Miscounting, Unstinting
luksipc.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US keyring -> keying, key ring, key-ring
luksipc.src: W: non-standard-group Applications/Security
luksipc.src:1: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 1, tab: line 1)
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 6 warnings.

What is the correct group to put it into? I made up Applications/Security but clearly that guess is not right:-)

Thanks again!
