Description Michael Schwendt 2010-01-16 14:47:07 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.

Comment 1 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-02-02 13:42:12 UTC 
libatm.a is in linux-atm-devel-libs. The check of BR show this:
repoquery --repoid=fedora-source --archlist=src --whatrequires linux-atm-libs-devel
iproute-0:2.6.32-1.fc13.src

Iproute is built from dynamic libraries so we can probably remove this static library.
