I did so, I build packages for Mandrake. Your SPEC file is great and
I had only to do some little changes for full Mandrake compliance.

- pack all source files with bzip2, even those you left uncompressed
- extract the .jar files and the init/logrotate scripts at their destination
- bzip2 all man pages

That's all, I will upload the SRPM to the Mandrake incoming directory
in the later evening and will notify Lenny Cartier (MandrakeSoft).

I've attached my spec file.
