First of all sorry, no SRPM the upstream sources are way too large for my sucky ISP provided homepage. You can get the upstream tarball from: http://sf.net/projects/gcompris And then the files section.
All other needed SOURCES files are in gcompris-files.tar.gz, just untar this in your SOURCES dir and drop the main tarball in your SOURCES dir and you're good to go.
Notice that part of gcompris (1 activity) needs gnucap, which I've packaged too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189699
Last some small know issues, which I've also reported upstream:
1) If you switch the language to dutch and then start gcompris from a cmdline the following messages appear: parser error : EntityRef: expecting ';' parser error : EntityRef: expecting ';'
These are libxml messages, things work fine though.
2) If you don't have any (valid) alphabet sounds and try to run the letter-click (click the letter you hear) board a message is shown saying that you need to install some alphabet sounds, it is however possible to still start and play the game behind the message box by clicking the letters. Also it is possible to exit to the main menu by pressing the home icon, the message box stays in place then , but its drawn over the home menu instead of over the letter click board.
