Bryan,

The redhat rpm spec file has been broken by newer versions of rpm. On my
fedora 4 machine with rpm 4.4.1 I get:

# rpmbuild -ta conserver-8.1.13.tar.gz
error: Legacy syntax is unsupported: copyright
error: line 21: Unknown tag: Copyright: distributable

I've attached a patch that fixes this by changing "Copyright:
distributable" to "License: distributable". Note that this completely
changes the meaning (and I am not sure if the former was intentional as
the LICENSE file says "Copyright (c) 2000, conserver.com").

With that alteration in place, the build then fails with a:

Checking for unpackaged
file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/conserver-buildroot
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/lib/conserver/convert


RPM build errors:
Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/lib/conserver/convert

The attached patch also fixes that by lumping the file in to the %doc
(given it's name. I'm not sure where else it should go).

Hope that helps,
Martin.
