Preliminary review:

- Shouldn't the library go in a separate subpackage?  The executables won't be needed for library users.  I'd expect one of these layouts:
  - hoedown, hoedown-libs, hoedown-devel
  - hoedown, libhoedown, libhoedown-devel

- The library needs %post/%postun ldconfig

hm, there is only 2 binaries with small size. is it worth to make libs subpackage?

ah yes, forgot about it. Will add it.

Anything else to fix?

I can't find official guidelines on this, but I prefer to avoid installing things in /bin unnecessarily.  If most people will be using this in library form, as with rustdoc, then they don't need the binaries.

You can take python for precedent -- its main binary is even smaller than these.

Not that I see.

There are no guidelines about that, it's up to maintainer if he wants to have libs subpkg. I will make it.

Unfortunately I don't have time to work on these review requests anymore, sorry.
