I've cleaned up the .spec file so the rpms it generates now pass
rpmlint. I also changed the versioning convention so it will pass for
Fedora Extras, and rebuilt a new set of rpms available on the miskatonic
site above.

I filed a bug-report to get cairomm added to Fedora Extras.

I'm working from a cvs checkout of cairomm, and here's my current diff.
I can post it as a bug with an attached file, but since it's short I'll
post it here and explain... and see if posting it is even necessary or
desired.

The cairomm.spec and cairomm.spec.in files are respectively available
at:
http://miskatonic.cs.nmsu.edu/pub/cairomm.spec
http://miskatonic.cs.nmsu.edu/pub/cairomm.spec.in

I've found that it's much easier to have the .spec generated by autoconf
(much like a .pc file) rather than continually go through the motions to
update them on release, so when I made then original rpms, I just
patterned it off a generic template I made awhile back. The nice thing
about going this route is that when you're ready for a release,
everything can be prepared in the configure.in.

I'd create the same for debian, but I'm not familiar enough with the
structure of a debian package to make one generic like this one is; but
I'm sure it wouldn't take too much to tweak the structure to generate
one automatically for debian.

Anyway, with that said, the following explains the diffs:

I'm not sure why I needed to modify Makefile.am to include install-sh on
the EXTRA_DIST line, but rpmbuild couldn't run without it, and it was
missing from the package. That change at least (or whatever else would
be a more proper fix) would be needed, whether or not the .spec is
generated by autoconf from .spec.in.

The remainder of the changes are only necessary if the autoconf
generation of the .spec file from .spec.in is desired.

And the full diff (which isn't really that much) against cvs:
