I have been making changes to the etoys.spec file, so that EToys might
get included into Fedora. The attached patch to
git://dev.laptop.org/projects/etoys are the changes that I believe are
necessary to propose EToy's inclusion in Fedora.
If you are willing to accept these changes into your git repo, then I
can simply use your spec file and SRPM as the ones submitted to
Fedora. If not, that's OK too, I'll just host them somewhere else
pending inclusion into Fedora.

This is a short explanation for each of the changes, if you need more
explanation, please ask:
- added %{?dist} to release
Fedora requires %{?dist} be added to all releases - it results in nothing on distro's that don't define 'dist'
- altered the License field to use cononical License short names
Fedora requires specific short names for this field to ease License checking
- remove the Prefix (relocatable) field
Fedora discourages relocatable RPMs. They are allowed, but require added work, testing, and justification. I didn't think the EToy's RPM needed to be relocatable. If you think it needs to be relocateable, let me know and I'll add it.
- added .desktop file and etoys icon.
Fedora requires a .desktop file for each 'desktop' application.
