Hi, I would like to drop the elfutils-libelf-devel-static and elfutils- devel-static subpackages which provide static libraries for libelf and libdw/libasm. They seem to have been provided a long time ago for some core binaries, like rpm, to provide static binaries. But it looks like nothing is using this mechanism anymore today. The static libdw library probably never really worked correctly till 0.180 (released just a few weeks ago), because it depended on dynamically open some other non- static libraries... oops. I don't believe there is any good reason to not simply link against the normal shared libraries (they have been binary compatible for years). Nothing seems to require these packages, but that might be simply be because they are static libraries, so there aren't any runtime requirements. Is there some way to determine if anything would start failing to build if I simply remove them? Apart from simply waiting for the bug reports to pop up :) Is there a procedure to follow for dropping these sub-packages, or can I simply remove them from the spec file?
