Comment 1 Dan Čermák 2020-01-28 22:27:43 UTC
I have the following comments:
- please do not glob the SONAME from the shared library in %files, this is as far as I know either not allowed or strongly discouraged
- upstream has a test suite that is neither built nor executed in %check, why?
- upstream provides a way to build a full API documentation, I would suggest to build it and put it into a devel-doc subpackage
- (minor) there's no need for the -p1 flag in %autosetup, you're not patching anything
- (minor) consider changing `BuildRequires: cmake` to `BuildRequires: cmake > 3.6`
- (minor) the spec from the source rpm and the link do not match, but the differences are just in the %changelog

[!]: Package complies to the Packaging Guidelines
[x]: Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least
     one supported primary architecture.
[x]: Package installs properly.
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all rpms the build produces.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the

     license(s) for the package is included in %license.
[x]: Package requires other packages for directories it uses.

Comment 2 Marek Blaha 2020-01-30 09:46:03 UTC
Thanks for the review!

Running the tests is tricky. The cmake directly downloads google tests libraries using git from github.com which does not work when the builder does not have access to the network (see the scratch build https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=41238632).

I tried to replace it using packaged version of the library (BuildRequires: pkgconfig(gtest)), but this did not work neither due to using of some features not available in released version yet. (e.g. GTEST_SKIP).

All other issues should be now fixed.

Fair enough. You might want to try to persuade upstream to support a stable gtest not to download it from the internet at configuration time, but I'd leave this up to you.

Thank you, package approved!
