------- Additional Comments From rdieter at math.unl.edu  2006-08-21 07:54 EST -------
Quick-n-dirty items I see:

1.  MUST drop Obsoletes/Provides: openmotif, openmotif-devel
at least for now(*).  No Conflicts either.  See also 6.

(*) Maybe we could consider using versioned Ob/Pr, say something like Obsoletes:
openmotif < 2.2, openmotif21, Provides: openmotif = 2.1, but there would have to
be a strong demonstratable need for this (and I currently don't see any). 

2.  MUST: +BuildRequires: fontconfig-devel, since ./configure says:
checking for fontconfig-config... no
checking fontconfig/fontconfig.h usability... yes
checking fontconfig/fontconfig.h presence... yes
checking for fontconfig/fontconfig.h... yes
checking for FcInit... yes

3.  MUST: +BuildRequires: mesa-libGLw-devel

4.  MUST: use versioned Obsoletes/Provides: lesstif-clients, ie,
Obsoletes: lesstif-clients < %{version}-%{release}
Provides:  lesstif-clients = %{version}-%{release}

5.  SHOULD: drop Oboletes/Provides: lesstif-1.2-devel, lesstif-2.0-devel
I see no purpose for this (anymore), especially Provides.

6.  SHOULD: Come up with a better co-installable solution, maybe split out
lesstif-clients again (like upstream) so the main pkg doesn't conflict.
Conflicts in -clients and/or -devel is ok, imo.  But for now, maybe don't worry
about this too much... we're going on the assumption (for now) that openmotif's
non-OSI license will eject it from Fedora.
