Note to FE-Legal folks, this package needs attention for two reasons and 
perhaps a third as well.  Please search for FE-Legal below.

Now, to the review.

Was the hylafax/hylafax+ issue ever resolved?  Do we need FE-Legal to be 
involved in that?

Can you explain why the tarball in the src.rpm does not match the tarball 
fetched from the Source0: URL?  There seem to be rather significant source 
differences.  This kind of thing is not permissible; the sources in the src.rpm 
must be identical to the upstream sources except in specific limited cases 
where we must remove something.  I note that the tarball in the src.rpm seems 
to be three days newer than the one upstream.

I don't believe we should package /etc/hylafax/faxcover_example_sgi.ps.  It 
contains the old SGI name and logo and I'm pretty certain we shouldn't be 
sticking it in /etc whenever someone installs this software.  I'm not even sure 
we have the legal right to distribute it, which is reason one for blocking 
FE-Legal.

It doesn't particularly bother me, but the guidelines to specify that you not 
use a specific sourceforge mirror for the source URL.  See 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL (although personally I find I 
often have to add one just to get things to download, since sourceforge is so 
incredibly unreliable).

I recommend not using the name of the package in the summary, as it tends to 
look rather redundant in listings.  Still, there is a change of case so I won't 
block the package if you think it really needs to be there.

I'm going to have to get expert assistance with the License: tag; the license 
given in the COPYRIGHT file is actually identical to the libtiff license, which 
gets its own "libtiff" license tag, but the regex code is clearly the bad 
"BSD+Advertising" clause which is GPL-incompatible and thus causes issues.  
Reason two that I'm blocking FE-Legal for guidance.

Your changelog entries are not in one of the acceptable formats.  These are 
parsed automatically, so please follow the formats given in the Changelogs 
section of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines and please also 
include a comment every time you change the release.

You need a dependency on the crontabs package if you want to put things in 
/etc/cron.daily.

You call ldconfig in your scriptlets, but you don't have any dependencies on 
it.  When you use the single-line scriptlets (%post -p /sbin/ldconfig) then you 
don't need them, but when you use multiline scriptlets you have to specify the 
dependencies manually.

Finally, I have significant issues with the amount of stuff this package puts 
under /var/spool.  I don't believe any of the files belong there at all.  
Executables, certainly not.  Unless you can illustrate how the FHS allows such 
things, I cannot approve this package.  The modem config files need to be under 
/etc; the executables probably belong under /usr/libexec if they're not 
supposed to be run by the end user.
