In this case, the static libraries MUST be placed in a *-static subpackage. Separating the static libraries from the other development files in *-devel allow us to track this usage by checking which packages BuildRequire the *-static package. The intent is that whenever possible, packages will move away from using these static libraries, to the shared libraries. If the *-static subpackage requires headers or other files from *-devel in order to be useful it MUST require the *-devel subpackage. tl;dr: create a static subpackage for your static library > > >- Use install -p to keep timestamps > > Got it > > > >- To avoid unintentional soname bump, we forbid globbing the major soname > version, be more specific instead: > > >%{_libdir}/lib%{name}.so.* > > > Can you clarify this a little bit?

This doesn't appeas in the license file or the github repo. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
