Description Michael Schwendt 2010-01-16 14:46:15 UTC

The package is in need of an update because it does not adhere to
the guidelines for packaging static libraries:

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries

The -devel package contains both the shared and the static build of
a library. That makes it possible to link statically with the -devel
package as a build requirement instead of having to build-require a
special-purpose -static subpackage.

Correct would be to either disable/delete the static libraries at
build-time, or to %exclude them in the %files section, or to split off
a -static subpackage (if there is a compelling reason as why the static
libs should be made available).

Please consult the guidelines for the details.

    /usr/lib/libaio.so  <=>  /usr/lib/libaio.a

Thanks for the bug report.  I'll get rid of the static library.

Comment 2 Jeff Moyer 2010-01-19 17:36:52 UTC

libaio-0.3.109-2 is being built and should address this problem.
