(using the spec/src.rpm from comment #88 and the patch in comment #90)

Hopping into the wayback machine for comment #47: :)

So, I think it's safe for this package to not ship one.

The future is here now. ;)
rpm --excludedocs

What about just putting the doc/html area in doc, and both demos and
examples back in devel. That would move off a large amount of docs
and would get rid of all these wacky requirements. The doc subpackage
would just have html stuff in it. assistant and qtdemo could move back to devel.

This is much more what a doc package should be. Examples and demos should
be things you need devel for to use anyhow, IMHO.

Thoughts?

Thats too bad. Having it parallel installable would be nice. :(
Not a blocker though I guess. Looking at the -19 spec I don't see you
using -headerdir, -datadir, and -sysconfdir, just -libdir.
So does that mean it's still easily parallel installable?

New items:

1. On the desktop-install, shouldn't the vendor be: 'fedora'?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#desktop

2. It still doesn't build for me even with the patch from comment #90.
I get:

RPM build errors:
