Alright. Could you open a ticket with upstream about this, too? It would be better if MPI variants could be built in the same build process. [...] > > 3.

Good, but the changelog entry doesn't explain why you did it, which might be useful. > Updated spec/srpm: > https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/neuron/neuron.spec # Do we need the static libraries? %files static %license Copyright %doc README.md %{_libdir}/libivoc.la %{_libdir}/libmemacs.la %{_libdir}/libmeschach.la %{_libdir}/libneuron_gnu.la %{_libdir}/libnrniv.la %{_libdir}/libnrnmpi.la %{_libdir}/libnrnoc.la %{_libdir}/liboc.la %{_libdir}/libocxt.la %{_libdir}/libsparse13.la %{_libdir}/libscopmath.la %{_libdir}/libivos.la If it's just .la (libtool archive), then these are not enough, you should have .a files as well.
