It everytime a good idea to split libraries and programs when there might be other packages using the libs. Else, monolithic packages might/will add of unneeded stuff or even dependencies to packages needing the libs only.
Ok another question... the autoconf files that build the nfs daemons and commands expect the needed libraries to be already installed on the build machine. So my question is, when I build things, should I change the autoconf file so that the build points to the libraries (and header files) in the build tree or should I require nfs-utils-lib to be installed on the build machine (i.e. Requires: nfs-utils-lib). I guess would guess its the former but I just want to make sure I'm doing things in the normal or expected way.... tia, steved.
