Changelog:
- Include license files

I would suggest making a sub-package like "hxtools-pam_mount" (or whatever) and putting the stuff you need in there. Then if people want to add other things for separate reasons, they can go in their own sub packages without causing crazy bloat.

I thought about this, too. But Imho it is very unlikely that someone else will want other items from the package. Therefore this would add unecessary complexity to the package without much gain. In the surprising case that this happens, subpackages can still be created. The current binaries only require libHX, which is the general purpose lib from the same author, that is probably used by all his binary tools.

Some comments:

*BuildRequires:
- You are using autoreconf in autogen.sh, so you must include it.

*Remove the blank line at the end of the file.

The following are not oficially part of guideliness (but I think that are in its spirit):
 
*Summary
- The problem with hxtools summary is that says nothing specific to the package! Would you install some package that you ever heard in the life with such a description? :-)

*Well let's read the description
- Oh, I see, now it's clear enough! No, not really, I am joking. You are forcing to either read the code, go to the project site or read the man pages

*I think you made two interesting programs that make *two specific tasks" Why don't you make two different packages in the UNUX-style? :)

HTH

I am not the author of the tools/package and I only need two of them to be able to update pam_mount in Fedora. There is no real similiarity between the tools except the upstream author, therefore no good summary or description can be given.

I saw your request for a review swap.  I'll review this one.  Would you care to review one of the following?

ocaml-dpt: bug 693831
TOPCOM: bug 700959
python3-cvxopt: bug 706299 (python3 version of an existing python2 package)
lrslib: bug 723752
polybori: bug 742388 (rename review)
ocaml-menhir: bug 754245

Unless you plan to use this spec file for EPEL also, some elements of the spec file are not needed: BuildRoot, "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" at the top of %install, the %clean script, and %defattr at the top of %files.

Even though autoreconf is in the autoconf package, it can also invoke aclocal and automake, both of which are in the automake package.  Since automake Requires autoconf, I suggest using a BR on automake instead of autoconf.  This isn't just a hypothetical concern; here is a snippet from the mock build log:

+ ./autogen.sh
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 326.
autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory

Thank you, the package has been updated. I plan to use it in EPEL in the long term, therefore I keep the deprecated macros.
