Alright, I reuploaded a new version of the spec.

Yup, you're right. As both of these packages have been released almost together,
I thought that it was necessary ;)

> * The spec explicitly 
> Requires: gtkglext
> Requires: gtkmm24

> This shouldn't be necessary.

Ok, I removed them. But for my personal education, could you explain me why ? It
is the first rpm spec I write, I only have a previous experience with gentoo
ebuilds ... Is it because rpm added automatically a dependency on the
*librairies* in the gtkglext package by checking undefined symbols ?

Well, I use this library as an app developper, and I don't need these files
either. However, directly from the README file in the source package in tools/m4 :

"This directory contains additional type conversions for gtkglextmm.
The convert.m4 file overrides the file of the same name in gtkmm.

Like the gtkmm m4 conversion files, these files are also installed, for use by
other libraries."

So I guess some people have a use for it ...
