git-svn patches have description automatically, if that format is also ok, i
see no reason why not.
perhaps some emphasis on git-svn should be made on the wiki, relating to
patches.

</I>><i> Regarding the spec we've got at least a major difference in our kde's spec

</I>><i>
</I>><i> Regards,
</I>
Personally, i agree regarding the %files part to be under their respective
%description and having build stuff on the bottom part. I like that idea.
regarding defines, i don't understand completely, but i am in favor of having
all defines up top.
