Halibut is yet another text formatting system, intended primarily for
writing software documentation. It accepts a single source format and
outputs a variety of formats, planned to include text, HTML, Texinfo,
Windows Help, Windows HTMLHelp, PostScript and PDF. It has comprehensive
indexing and cross-referencing support, and generates hyperlinks within
output documents wherever possible.

Can you approve this simple package? Though fedora doesn't have vim addons package guideline, it seems a good idea to package vim addons seperately as the emacs package guideline in fedora.

As i said earlier,it was a informal review.I just got sponsored,its better if anybody from existing package maintainer approve the package.

Good luck

Koji build=>http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2176331

1)As this package uses svn snapshot, you should include svn revision in package release.
halibut-1.0-1.20100504svn8934.fc12.src.rpm

2)I don't see documentation is that much huge to separate out as subpackage. Merge it with the main package.
