https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759823 --- Comment #7 from Eric Smith <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- It doesn't appear to me that there was any consensus reached nor action taken regarding Michael's inquiry to the Fedora-Packaging list. I can't imagine any practical manner to treat C++ templates in -devel package other than simply allowing them. C++ templates, like Ada generics, *must* be compiled into an executable to be used. There is no way to turn them into a shared library. If this is considered to run afoul of Fedora's library packaging requirements, then Fedora will have to drop the C++ Standard Template Library (which would make Fedora non-compliant with the C++ standard), Boost, and many other packages. Given that the STL, Boost, and other C++ templates are in fact in Fedora, the only conclusion I can reach is that templates in C++ headers are allowed in -devel packages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
