Here's a first stab at it (see attached openclipart.spec.in and Makefile).

Once the tools get into a shape where they can be distributed and 
installed properly using "make install", "make dist" etc., I would 
advocate splitting the RPM along these lines:

* a single SRPM containing the "full" bzip tarball. It would be even 
better if the multiple image formats could be generated using "make" 
from one or two input formats (e.g. make PNGs from SVGs plus text 
files). I don't know if this is possible or not. If it is, a source 
distribution containing just the minimum needed content would be better, 
and have the rest built using "make". Full "binary" distributions could 
also be built for people not wanting to do that themselves, but the RPM 
would not use those.

* an openclipart-svg RPM containing just the SVG images

* an openclipart-extraformats RPM containing the other data and with a 
dependency on openclipart-svg

* an openclipart-tools package

The first two of these could be relocatable.

Paul.
