No, build package will be filed later in %files section when file not found in
%{_lib} will be raised. This is why it hack appeared.

Yes, off course. I expect what all my dependencies is correct and installation
of ne7ssh-examples would require ne7ssh and ne7ssh-devel and all other required
dependencies. BUT, you are free ot do not install ne7ssh-example - it is not
required by anything other.

Why? BuildRequires: cmake botan-devel present in spec.

Yes, I known. This is because it contain Makefile to build examples, and its
will fail, if ne7ssh-devel is not present in system. So, it is ok. If you only
want read examples and known what you do, you always can install it forced
without dependencies.

And what? This is incorrect?

> Sixth, the examples are just 25K uncompressed.
And what? It can't be separate package because it?

Yes, there you are right. I'll do that.

Please, can you point me where?

Should I repeat Summary in %description?? I believe not.

Thank you, fixed.


P.S. I'll
