gdal.spec out of date

Description
gdal.spec has not been updated since version 1.3.0 and the two required patch files (gdal-install.patch and gdal-ldflags.patch) are not included in the source file.
This would make it substantially easier to generate RPM packages.

Actually the gdal.spec we require is for CentOS 5.3, I think the Fedora one could be used...

Replying to hicksa:

Ok, tried this a while ago, and forgot to post the result.
There is inconsistancy in package naming between Fedora and RHEL/CentOS, so the Fedora spec file isn't correct.
but it looks like all I need to do is correct the dependencies, and track down the packages which aren't in the CentOS repository...

Actually, I'm wondering if we should not remove gdal.spec from GDAL source tree.
.spec files are the responsibility of whatever distro uses them and depend on various parameters proper to the distro, so it makes little sense to maintain an upstream one. You can always fetch the gdal.spec used by Fedora for example : http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/gdal/devel/
