--- Comment #1 from Petr Menšík <pemensik@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Informal only review.

The library bundles several projects, which seems to have their own version and
release tarballs at repo.hu [1]. At least for non-trivial parts, I think it
should include entries like:
Provides: bundled(liblihata)

for all used directories in src_3rd. That would include at minimal libfungw,
liblihata, genvector. Ideally those libraries should have own package, but I
haven't found any trace requiring them. Because they have own versions and
repos, they should be mentioned as bundled libraries [2]. Not sure how real
support exist for those libraries in system, the build systems of this package
is not something I full understand.

What is main benefit of using %{nameAPI} instead of just %{name}? I think at
least %{nameAPI} package should include:
Provides: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

Does it expect installation of multiple versions on the same system? Is there
reason for such approach? I know Debian packages use version of library always
in the package name, but it is not common in Fedora. I think it is only used
where multiple different versions have to be supported.

-doc subpackage does not require main package, but does not have own copy of
%license. Either require main package or include separate copy. License has to
be installed always with any content from package. Even documentation.

-static subpackage is not needed and should not be provided. Any code using
this library should link to shared libraries, never static. At least anything
packaged. Just rm lib*.a instead of separate package.

Please remove index.html suffix from URL. It looks better without it and works.
Source0 can be %{url}/releases/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz, since the beginning
is the same.

genregex is Public Domain, I think it should be also in License: tag.
