Hi there, The packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages recommend that unversioned .so libraries should go into a -devel package. I'm reviewing a package, eclib, that has no versioned .so libraries at all: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476398 To satisfy the review requirements submitter put the .so into a -devel package and suppressed the main eclib package, as there are no versioned .so to package. It seems to make more sense to actually remove the -devel package and include them in the main eclib package. The guidelines don't appear to cover the case of packages that only consist of unversioned .so's. Ideally upstream would add the versioning, but currently don't support versioning the library. Either way, I would like to know what the best practice would be in this case, and ultimately it would be useful if there was an explicit guideline.
