From what little I know about spec files, I don't find any problems.
Tumgreyspf, which is the project I derived this from, has a complete spec file
in their source. I took a stab at updating it for this derivative, but don't
know enough to know if what I did was complete or correct. My intent is to
only provide files for the tagged releases that are complete/correct/needed.
I've added your spec file (not updated yet, but I will) to the SVN trunk and
will keep it up to date with whatever changes you provide. That way when I
release the next version, the spec file will be there and this will be
easier.
I'm all for putting the packaging information into the tagged releases when I
know it to be correct. I answer to your why question, I think for 0.2 I
copied all the files to the tag and then only included what I saw as the
useful files in the tarball. For 0.3 I think I decided there was little
point in that and I should limit the tagged branch to what I knew to be
correct and needed. The next release will have your spec file and (let me
know which they are) any other of the files that you needed.
