Hi Kayvan,
I like the idea of your script and it really helps to test the devel
branch but I would like to suggest some small changes, that in my view
improve the readability of the generated spec file.
I would get rid of most of the old cruft that lies in the spec, most of
the conditionals on old fedora versions are useless by now.
At the same time I would delete the old changelog (a note in your first
entry would be enough).
In terms of the rpm logic I would add a date to the release tag such
that new versions of your rpm can be updated.
Instead of using rpmbuild I would use mock to guarantee that the
resulting lyx does not depend on your system packages.
I hope that this help. Regards,
