Description Michael Schwendt 2009-12-07 18:25:44 UTC

The package doesn't adhere to the guidelines for
packaging static libraries:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries

The -devel package provides a virtual -static package and contains both
the shared and the static build of a library. That makes it possible to
link staticly with the -devel package as a build requirement instead
of having to build-require the -static package.

Correct would be to split off the static libraries into a separate
-static subpackage.

[...]

blacs-lam-devel provides blacs-lam-static
blacs-1.1-33.fc12.src.rpm
Static and shared build of a library in -devel package!
