https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069243 --- Comment #20 from David Sugar <dyfet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Well, in a broader sense, you do not need those binaries if you are building an application which is simply using the ccaudio2 library, hence they do not truly belong either in devel or the runtime package. Of course we don't explicitly do separate (abi version named) runtime library subpackages in Fedora either, so it could have simply been kept in the base package. But I was being consistent with one of my other existing fedora packages, which happens to be ucommon, and which also has a -bin :). As to why -bin vs -utils, etc? Well, it was suggested to me when ucommon was originally reviewed years back. I do notice debian uses -utils rather than -bin for the utility subpackage of ucommon there, and ucommon in opensuse originally started with a -bin, but now uses -utils with a provides/replaces for the former, so I have to imagine they adopted a policy... If we did ever adopt a formal policy for this for Fedora, I might even suggest -utils only to be consistent with what other distros seem to be doing. But if informally almost everyone doing this is currently using -bin in Fedora, maybe that would be the easier choice to formally adopt. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
