I can't find a statement of the GPL version; none of the source code seems to
carry the required notice, and the version of the COPYING file does not itself
specify the version (since it explicitly states that you may use any version
in this case).  So unless you haved information to the contrary, it seems to me
that the License: tag should be "GPL+".

rpmlint says:
  libytnef-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
which is true and not problematic.

The only real issue I see is the usual one for packages with header files:
some of the headers, specifically mapi.h, look like they have a good chance
of conflicting with something.  How difficult would it be to put them in a
subdirectory of /usr/include, given that theres no pkgconfig file?

* source files match upstream:
   9f15aaccbd01c3229cae91fc04fce4edf7913d14c0fed476e77668586e74ddc5
   libytnef-1.5.tar.bz
* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.
* description is OK.
* dist tag is present.
* build root is OK.
? license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
* license text included in package.
* latest version is being packaged.
* BuildRequires are proper (none)
* compiler flags are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
* package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64).
* package installs properly
* debuginfo package looks complete.
* rpmlint has acceptable complaints.
* final provides and requires are sane:
  libytnef-1.5-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm
   libytnef.so.0()(64bit)
   libytnef = 1.5-1.fc9
  =
   /sbin/ldconfig
   libytnef.so.0()(64bit)
  libytnef-devel-1.5-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm
   libytnef-devel = 1.5-1.fc9
  =
   libytnef = 1.5-1.fc9
   libytnef.so.0()(64bit)

* %check is not present; no test suite upstream and no way to test this until an
   application comes along.
* no shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* scriptlets are OK (ldconfig)
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* headers are in the -devel subpackage.
* no pkgconfig files.
* no static libraries.
* no libtool .la files.
