Because the -devel package contains project files which depend on
directories.gpr, which is in fedora-gnat-project-common, and we don't currently
have a mechanism to auto-detect this dependency. It must be >= 2 because older
versions of fedora-gnat-project-common don't contain directories.gpr.

It sounds odd, but I suppose it's OK. It doesn't break any guideline that I can
see.

No, I still see "System Environment/Libraries".

> > Â The documentation should be in the -devel subpackage, except for COPYING.

> -devel?

Because the information in README is relevant only to developers who write
programs that use the library. Users who merely run programs linked to XMLada
won't be interested.

"for example API documentation belongs in the -devel subpackage"
