I will take this review.

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

Issues:
=======
- ldconfig not called in %post and %postun for Fedora 28 and later.
  Note: /sbin/ldconfig called in virtualpg
  See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Removing_ldconfig_scriptlets

- Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
  Note: Unversioned so-files directly in %_libdir.
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-
  guidelines/#_devel_packages

  ^^^ That is a fedora-review complaint.  It's pointing out that the main
  package contains %{_libdir}/mod_virtualpg.so.  I see the comment in %files
  stating that it must be this way.  I'm curious why, but if it's a long story
  you can leave me in the dark.

- The %description starts with a pronoun referring to something unspecified,
  presumably this package: "Its intended scope is ...".  The English in the
  rest is a bit awkward.  I suggest rewording it like this:

Virtualpg supports direct SQL access to PostgreSQL and PostGIS tables,
enabling simple and straightforward data exchanges between these two
popular open source Spatial DBMSs.

- libtool is (in)famous for reordering options, in particular for pushing
  -Wl,--as-needed *after* the libraries on the link line, rendering it useless.
  Sure enough:

  $ ldd -u /usr/lib64/mod_virtualpg.so.0.1.1
  Unused direct dependencies:
	/lib64/libsqlite3.so.0

  I usually put this in spec files that use libtool, both to defeat rpaths and
  to deal with -Wl,--as-needed:

# Get rid of undesirable hardcoded rpaths; workaround libtool reordering
# -Wl,--as-needed after all the libraries.
sed -e 's|^hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=.*|hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=""|g' \
    -e 's|^runpath_var=LD_RUN_PATH|runpath_var=DIE_RPATH_DIE|g' \
    -e 's|CC="\(.*g..\)"|CC="\1 -Wl,--as-needed"|' \
    -i libtool

  This is a suggestion, not a demand.

- ChangeLog is 0 bytes, so there isn't much point in including it in %doc.

Comment 3 Sandro Mani 2020-11-14 22:37:21 UTC
Regarding the unversioned library, all sqlite extensions must be present as unversioned libraries, as sqlite looks for them by the filename mod_<extension_name>.<library_suffix> (with library_suffix being dll/dylib/so). I'm actually not sure whether the versioned ones are even necessary, but libspatialite and librasterlite2 (the other two packages also shipping sqlite extensions) also ship those.

Got it.  Thanks for the explanation.

> - Add libtool fix

Sorry, I should have been more specific.  That has to come after %configure (which generates the libtool file) and before %make_build (which invokes the libtool file).  Everything else looks good, so just move that into the right place before importing.  This package is APPROVED.

Oh ups, could have thought of that... 

Thanks again!!
