I have seen quite a few redhat specs on the inside and a mess is what
they are indeed. They build but nothing more. They will not pass the
rpmlint tests.

But if you want to help making rpms :)

        http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~flepied/projects/rpmlint/
        http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/
        http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/

I found at least 20 typos and style mistakes in your message. Hope you
don't mind me thinking your rpms will be as sloppy ;) This is not
personal critique. If you want to build rpms that's great but they
should give other people less instead of more work. Try to make them
perfect.
