   I'm working on SN packages for Red Hat as well.  Any
   suggestions/advice you may have would be very much appreciated.

One suggestion I have is to pay close attention to annotating documentation
files in the RPM spec.  Too many third-party RPMs are generated that don't
differentiate documentation files from executables.  Running `rpm -qd <pkg>'
is extremely useful.

Thanks for doing this work!
