Requires
--------
libnghttp3 (rpmlib, GLIBC filtered):
    libc.so.6()(64bit)
    rtld(GNU_HASH)

libnghttp3-devel (rpmlib, GLIBC filtered):
    /usr/bin/pkg-config
    libnghttp3(x86-64)
    libnghttp3.so.9()(64bit)



Provides
--------
libnghttp3:
    libnghttp3
    libnghttp3(x86-64)
    libnghttp3.so.9()(64bit)

libnghttp3-devel:
    libnghttp3-devel
    libnghttp3-devel(x86-64)
    pkgconfig(libnghttp3)

Some comments:

 a)
  URL:            https://nghttp2.org/nghttp3/
  this contains docs only, better to use github url here?

 b)

 %build
 autoreconf -fiv

 Why is autoreconf needed?

  c)
  find %{buildroot} -name '*.la' -exec rm -f {} ';'

  simpler to use -delete option?

   find %{buildroot} -name '*.la' -delete

  d) just drop use of %name macro? E.g. this is not very readable: 

  %files -n lib%{name}

Technically, URL field should point to the upstream project's website and https://nghttp2.org/nghttp3/ is the official website.
Although, as you noted, GitHub URL is more informative. Applied.

It's not needed per se, but has some benefits. Debian policy recommends to autoreconf on build, see https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf for the rationale, and there were several attempts to introduce a similar policy in Fedora.
Most recently this was recently discussed in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/URIOGXSIURJGTAGYCBJ5CD7FM47DXRKR/ and https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/URIOGXSIURJGTAGYCBJ5CD7FM47DXRKR/#LGNSVJXVEXNIMIBLW7ETGB3C6Y5JCW7X

`-delete` is a GNU extension, and I prefer POSIX syntax.
Also, this line is taken as is from the default spec template.

Makes sense. Done.

Comment 6 Terje Rosten 2025-10-27 08:12:42 UTC
Thanks for quick feedback and links about autoreconf, to me it seems using autoreconf regardless helps maintaining package
in a distro (such  Debian and Fedora), however might hide upstream issues that would be nice to report? 

Any way, this is not a blocker, rest of changes are fine, hence

 package is APPROVED.
