I am triaging old review tickets.  I can't promise a review if you reply, but by closing out the stale tickets we can devote extra attention to the ones which aren't stale.

This fails to build for me; here is a scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5323144

Other notes:

Your spec uses macro forms for commands, like "%{__rm}" and "%{__make}".  You should use "rm" and "make" instead.

%defattr has been unnecessary since RHEL4.

There are a few things you can remove from the spec if you are not targeting RHEL5, and more if you are not targeting RHEL at all.

Jason, thanks for following up on this. I unsuccessfully tried to build this for F18 recently, but gave up -- the open client doesn't support PCOIP, and my central IT shop won't support anything EXCEPT PCOIP from any clients they allow, which forces linux users into the i386-only proprietary version ripped from VMWare's Ubuntu release.

Given all this, I don't plan on proceeding with this package, so I'm closing this as WONTFIX. Anyone else wishing to pick it up should feel free to do so...

Thanks, --Gabriel
