I will do required changes. But I won't be able to do so before tonight
(GMT +2). In the meantime, I have some remarks/questions.

OK. In fact, I generated a special .tar.gz for the RPM creation. But I
will change that to use the offical one (that is also downloadable).

Previous .tar.gz was created with correct tree structure, containing
/usr directory and sub directories with files. If I use the other ones,
I will have to this stuff in the %build section. Am I right? This
application is a pure Perl one, so it doesn't require any compilation.

I thought that specifying %doc leads to copy the files in the correct
directory. If I use the Source0 mentionned before, these files are for the
moment in the .tar.gz root directory.

With new version, would that be correct to have:

%dir %{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version}
%doc README
%doc CHANGELOG

? Maybe the %dir line is useless.

Or should I before in the %build step copy them to
%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}-%{version} and use this path in the %files
section?

Many thanks,

Tian.
