Over the last year or so there has been a number of libraries added nfs-utils rm for the v4 and gssapi support as well as an upstream lib (libevent) that is not in the FC release.

I would like to break up the current nfs-utils into three different rpms: nfs-utils - would include the daemons and init scripts nfs-utils-libs - libnfsidmap.so, libgssapi.so, librpcsecgss.so nfs-utils-devel - header files that a currently installed
My questions are: 1) Does this sound reasonable?
-devel makes sense. -libs makes sense only if you need the libs separated (ie, multi-arch), else just keep the libraries in the core nfs-utils pkg.
2) I know there is a number of packages that do this but is there a package that does it the "right way" that I can use as an example?
This method is as good as any.
4) The needed upstream library, libevent, should that be included in the nfs-utils rpm or should it be in its own or include in another rpm?
IMO, if upstream packages it(libevent) separately, so should you. -- Rex
