One question to beg here... I maintain several libraries that come
*only* as static libs(*). At the moment, these pkgs provide *only* a
-devel pkg (pending upstream fix(es) to allow for shared/dynamic
libs). Is that acceptable or should these get split too?
Not split, but renamed would be a good so replace -devel with -static.
ACK, plus letting -static provide -devel.
For packages having both static and shared libraries I'd, put
everything but the static libs into *-devel and let *-static "Requires:
*-devel".
[BTW: we had discussed this in great dep several months ago on one of
this too many fedora lists.]
Eek. I still think headers and api docs and such still should be in
-devel (especially if there's any likelyhood of a real shared lib
existing some day), and that -static should Requires: %{name}-devel
Hmm, headers without libs in most cases are useless, but shipping docs
in *-devel, even for -static only packages is worth a thought. I am not
sure.
Not sure who I'm agreeing with here :-), but:
- Put static libs in -static (so they don't get used accidentally)
- Keep -devel for headers and shared libs (if existing)
- -devel requires -static if no shared libs so that dependent packages
only use BR: -devel.
