Re: spec file error (updated)
updated the spec files for both gbuffy and libPropList. However, I wonder how to license it: currently they are under GPL and LGPL. Should these be GPLv2.1 and LGPLv2.1 since these are really old packages (even though I cleaned up gbuffy some). Btw, if I patch up a package that does not seem to be maintained, am I better off changing the name to avoid potential conflicts? I doubt that anyone would use this package, no one other than me appears to have felt the need and while I have used these for years, I would be happy to submit these to Fedora.
