Thanks. I updated the files:
SPEC: http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/snowballz.spec
SRPM:
http://oget.fedorapeople.org/review/snowballz-1.0-0.5.beta1.20081222hg.fc10.src.rpm

Changelog:
-Updated description

I added some info about "call for developers" in the description field of the
SPEC file. Currently we have "Beta1" in the "Name" key of the desktop file that
will shine on the window title when one launches the game. Also the RPM file
produced is: snowballz-1.0-0.5.beta1.20090110hg.fc10.noarch

I think these give enough hint to the user that this application is not at a
final state. Do you think we should add more information?

It happens to me in the beginning. About 50% of the time the game doesn't
launch, stopping with a segfault, giving no information about the problem. I
don't know how I could debug this. It might be yet another pyglet issue (I also
tried the latest svn snapshot of pyglet, and that didn't prevent the
segfaults).
Maybe something is messed up in my computer.
