$ yum list \*-static | wc -l 115 $ yum list \*-devel-static | wc -l 8 $ yum list \*-static | grep -v devel | wc -l 108 Perhaps I only have a nit-picky day, but https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries clearly mentions *-static as in foo-static - and not foo-devel-static. Could this part of the guidelines be clarified, please? Related to this ambiguity in the naming guidelines, it's kind of pointless if some packages start creating -static subpackages, which provide a virtual -devel *and* a virtual -devel-static package in addition to a shared library base package. Effectively, it implies that another package could "BuildRequires: libfoo-devel" for _static_ linking even if a shared library is available. This is exactly what the old guidelines wanted to avoid (by separating -devel and -static subpackages). -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
