Description:
Notion is a tabbed, tiling window manager for the X windows system.

Features include:
* Workspaces: each work space has its own tiling.
* Multiheaded
* RandR support
* Extensible via Lua scripts.

This package is not eligible for inclusion in Fedora due to the license, which
is a modified version of the LGPLv2.1 with restrictions on naming. Official
response from Fedora-legal-list:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2014-January/002364.html

This is my first RPM Fusion package and I am seeking a sponsor.

I did a self-review, which is below. The only rpmlint errors are with regard to
the license field.

[-]: Package contains systemd file(s) if in need.

===== SHOULD items =====

Generic:
[x]: Uses parallel make %{?_smp_mflags} macro.
%{?_smp_mflags} is used when building the primary package. The contrib 
subpackage does not build any binaries. Use of %{?_smp_mflags} causes the doc 
subpackage to fail build. Considered a non-issue because doc package only build
PDF documents from LaTeX source.
[x]: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file
     from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.
Upstream's LICENSE file included.
[x]: Final provides and requires are sane (see attachments).
[x]: Fully versioned dependency in subpackages if applicable.
     Note: No Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} in notion-
     contrib , notion-doc
notion-contrib and notion-doc are noarch, and therefore only require
%{name} = %{version}-%{release}.
[x]: Package functions as described.
[x]: Latest version is packaged.
[x]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
[x]: Patches link to upstream bugs/comments/lists or are otherwise justified.
[-]: Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains
     translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
[x]: Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
     architectures.
Fedora 19 build on x86 and x86_64. Fedora 20 build on x86, x86_64, and ARM.
[-]: %check is present and all tests pass.
[!]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed files.
[x]: Packager, Vendor, PreReq, Copyright tags should not be in spec file
[x]: Sources can be downloaded from URI in Source: tag
[x]: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[x]: Buildroot is not present
[x]: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
[x]: Dist tag is present (not strictly required in GL).
[x]: No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin.
[x]: SourceX is a working URL.
[x]: Spec use %global instead of %define unless justified.

===== EXTRA items =====

Generic:
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all installed packages.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: Large data in /usr/share should live in a noarch subpackage if package is
     arched.
[x]: Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.
