I just noticed that you didn't use the %{?dist} tag:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Using_the_.25.7B.3Fdist.7D_Tag

You should use it otherwise you won't guarantee a clean upgrade path
from different Fedora releases (e.g. from F-10 to F-11).

A side error of not using the %{?dist} tag will be the impossibility
to use "make tag" because different branches cannot have the same tag.

thanks guys, I didn't realize committing clog was important to read in the other changes too.  I can't believe I didnt use {?dist} I can't remember why I did that now.  So I made the necessary changes, make tag worked, and got this far now..
