Just a comment on some package details:

"Epoch" is really just an added method to influence RPM version-release
comparison. A package with an epoch higher than the epoch in any other
package is considered "newer" (=higher overall version), regardless of
%version-%release. Expanding %epoch in %release doesn't make sense.
Let your packages start at "Release: 1" and increase the release with
every package revision. When the software version is upgraded, it is
common to restart release at 1.

Explicit "Epoch: 0" has been used in order to work around epoch
promotion problems in old versions of RPM up to Red Hat Linux
8.0. When a package is not built for those distributions, explicit
Epoch is not needed.

Dependence on libgal2 is not automatic already?

When explicit "Epoch: 0" is used, above should read:
Requires: %{name} = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}

Above it's 1.99.10.

Duplicate.

Missing:  %dir %{_libdir}/gtkhtml

I see it's also missing in FC3 package.
