 Well, I have discussed this many times, but there are a number of spec

files

 floating around, and most of them don't take upgrading (e.g. 4.2.3 to

4.3.x)
into account, and many fix different issues, but almost no-one seems to be
willing to discuss what must be fixed, and contribute to fixing the spec
file
in svn.

I would love to discuss what needs to be fixed to get a good set of rpms
for
RHEL/centos/fedora. The problem is that many people want rpms for other rpm
based distros that I have no experience with. I have seen many attempts in
the
past to maintain distro agnostic rpms with very limited success.

I have a SuSE spec file that is pretty close to what's provided in the
source tarball.  I think I can get it to be backwards-compatible (I'm
guessing the original is for Red Hat distros) with various %if conditionals.
 I'd be happy to work as part of a team of spec maintainers to get "the one
spec to rule them all".  I don't have access to servers with other distros,
so I can only test on SuSE/SLES.
