Putting %prep and %setup sections without content is just enough ?

Hmmm, in which cases should we use capital letters in package names ?
For example, in case if the names are kinds of trademarks ?

OK. I've removed the package once and I will try to build it in my home

BTW, are there any suggested procedures to submit new packages to the
public repositories ?

Thanks for your advice.
