Some prereview comments:

1,) A better explanation of how you have generate the upstram archive may be helpful

2.) It may be nice, if you can create emacs-* subpackages.

Item 1 has been clarified for me.

Yes, indeed. I'll try to provide them (unfortunately I'm not an emacs user, so I can't test them).

Unfortunately that was harder that I thought initially. So I'd rather to postpone the creation of (x)emacs sub-packages until someone well-familiar with (x)emacs will step in and help me with it.

I'll take it. I'm using emacs daily, and though I'm not profound in writing code for it, I'll have a look anyway. Maybe I can help out with some experience from emacs-lua.

Patch to create emacs packages

This patch adds sub-packages for the Emacs major mode that is included in the package. From a short test the mode seems to work fine in Emacs. The patch also includes inconsistent macro usage. Please apply and try and upload the new version then somewhere for the final review. From a first glance looks good so far.

Thanks, Tim - your patch was applied:

REVIEW:

Legend: + = PASSED, - = FAILED, 0 = Not Applicable

(+) rpmlint is not silent, some messages can be ignored:
  - spelling errors are false positives
  - only-non-binary-in-usr-lib and no-binary: general Erlang packaging problem which cannot
be avoided in the package
  - Explicit lib dependency is required, as no shared lib that can be auto-detected
  - no-documentation: I suggest adding README and COPYRIGHT file (see below), there is also documentation in doc/, why is it not included? You might also want to include the examples as doc.
