I took a very quick look at it, a few things caught my eye.

I'm surprised we still need the other patches, I thought I had sent all
those upstream, seems to me a new release should not need patches from
an old release.

I don't think the new build system is using libtool so anything related
to libtool is now cruft (that includes removing .la files, etc.)

I don't think think bootstrap is the right way to create certs in %post
anymore, see the recent thread on this.

The URL for the Red Hat FAQ in the FreeRADIUS Wiki has changed, the one
in the README (generated in the spec file) is now invalid and needs to
be updated (something I should have fixed but missed).

I apologize but I don't have time at the moment to work on packaging 3.0
because other tasks trump it at the moment, that however may change
depending on some upcoming management decisions.
