OK - try to match previous incarnations in other distributions/packagers for
consistency
OK - specfile should be %{name}.spec
OK - non-numeric characters should only be used in Release (ie. cvs or
   something)
OK - for non-numerics (pre-release, CVS snapshots, etc.), see
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PackageRelease
OK - if case sensitivity is requested by upstream or you feel it should be
   not just lowercase, do so; otherwise, use all lower case for the name
?? * is it legal for Fedora to distribute this?
?? - OSI-approved
OK - not a kernel module
OK - not shareware
?? - is it covered by patents?
OK - it *probably* shouldn't be an emulator
OK - no binary firmware
OK * license field matches the actual license.
OK * license is open source-compatible.
OK  - use acronyms for licences where common
OK * specfile name matches %{name}
?? * verify source and patches (md5sum matches upstream, know what the patches do)

   how to generate the the source drop; ie. 
  # svn export blah/tag blah
  # tar cjf blah-version-src.tar.bz2 blah
OK * skim the summary and description for typos, etc.
NO * correct buildroot
 - should be:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

New files are here:

http://people.redhat.com/dbhole/fedora/plexus-utils/

I have disable two test files, both of which are explained in the spec file.
Package does not have a license file in it, so it will not be installed.

Looks good to me, only thing I noticed is that the license file is still missing:
" NO * license text included in package and marked with %doc "

That is fine. The license needs to be in the file only if the tarball includes
it. In this case, it doesn't.

Please mark fedora-review+  if you are satisfied with the srpm/spec in it's
current state.

does this need or not need cvs admin attention?

(In reply to comment #6)
> does this need or not need cvs admin attention?

Hmm, I might have been given some bad information. I tried to upload this myself
but it only halfed worked (it fails halfway through, so I now have an empty
devel directory).

So I guess only cvs admins can upload new projects?
