If you really want to name the package "<name>" only, then I'd recommend to at least add "Provides: %{name}-devel = %{version}-%{release}" to cater users expecting development files in "*-devel" packages.
In my opinion it's not a good solution. ReviewGuidelines says that: "The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb." - it concerns .pc files but I think that solution should be applied in all packages which are only development packages. Thus Gérard is right, -devel subpackage is not needed. Regards. Michał. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
