--- Comment #5 from Ralf Corsepius <[email protected]> ---
Ranjan, your "rant" on users@ has provoked me enough to add some 
informal comments on this package (based on *0.8-1 from comment#1):

* *.spec is cluttered with rpm anachronisms, 
  which should not be used in new *.spec:
- Remove %clean
- Remove "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" from %install
- Remove BuildRoot
- Remove %defattr

* Packages should not be installed using %makeinstall, but be using DESTDIR,
e.g. use %make_install instead.

* Package wastes resources on building a static library.
- Append --disable-static to %configure
- Remove "rm ..../*.a"

* AFAIS, this package seems to bundle a library (libsylpheed) which already is
in Fedora (package sylpheed). You should be using the unbundled version.
(%configure --with-libsylph=sylpheed --with-libsylph-dir=/usr)

* COPYING is duplicated in %doc and %license. Remove the copy from %doc.

* The package should be split into a *-devel and non-devel subpackages.

Increment the %release each time you change something in your *spec. Not
incrementing Release avoidably complicates reviews.
