No issues from rpmlint, OK.

Some hints anyway:

- For better consistency, replace all occurences of th package name with %{name}.
- In my mind, it's better to use the universal "install" command instead of "cp".
- To avoid ambiguity, you could append "...for computer languages" to summary.
  Otherwise, readers could assume it is a generator for railway maps ;-)

Thanks for reviewing this!

Changed more occurences of package name to %{name} per your suggestion.

I don't see how install is in any way better than cp here.  However, I have replaced the first two uses of cp with install.  Since install does not appear to have a recursive option, and use of find with install definitely doesn't improve the clarity, I have retained the use of cp -a for that one.

Changed the summary per your suggestion.

Eric, please also add short comments to the spec file about what the patches do.

The license of the package isn't GPLv2+ because of the addition "or (at your option) any later version approved by The Eigenbase Project" given in the source file headers. What are the approved versions? I can't find any information on this. If GPLv3 has been approved, the License tag would be "GPLv2 or GPLv3". Otherwise, it's just GPLv2. You should ask upstream for clarification.

No word from upstream yet.  I've changed it to GPLv2 with a comment explaining the reason.  I also added comments about the patches.  Thanks for the suggestions.

I added the subpackage dependency.

I'm not aware of any spelling error.  If you're referring to the warning from rpmlint, that is spurious.  "Javadocs" is spelled correctly, and is the preferred description of javadoc subpackages.  For instance, do a "yum search javadocs" and look at the summaries.  If there is another spelling error that I am not aware of, please let me know specifically what it is, and I'll be happy to fix it.

Thanks for reviewing this package!

Sorry for the blurb, this was an artifact from a former review.

Your package looks good now.
