> Summary:        DOOM/Hertic/Hexen port with pretty graphics

Typo in there. I'm not really familiar with these games, but I remember the
name "Heretic", and the description confirmed it, too.


> I know, but you should put .so into devel, it's a MUST.

No, it's not a MUST. Please point at the guidelines more often than not. About
-devel package contents the guidelines are pretty good these days. 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages

Alternatively, give an explanation/rationale in your own words.

Rule of thumb: Which package a .so file (or symlink) is to be stored in depends
on how the file is used.

Is it used at runtime? Then it must NOT be stored in a -devel package, because
-devel packages are supposed to be fully optional. Is it used only at
build-time? Then it ought to be stored in a -devel package. And remember, for
any .so file somebody may argue that it would be entirely valid to treat it as
a runtime file, e.g. for dlopen()ing it. Some programs do that (because they
try to be compatible with multiple library ABIs), and some packagers don't
agree with Fedora's guidelines for -devel package .so files.
