Description of problem: Some 3rd party software requires libipvs.a and libipvs.h to build. This is built as part of ipvsadm's build process, but the files are not installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipvsadm-1.21-9.ipvs108 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install ipvsadm-1.21-9.ipvs108 2. look for libipvs.a and libipvs.h 3. notice that they are missing Actual results: The files are not installed. Expected results: The library and header files should either be included in the ipvsadm package, or they should be installed as a separate -devel package. Additional info:
Sending to owner of ipvsadm
After looking, it's not designed to be installed for general consumption; it's for internal use of the ipvsadm tool. There are some problems which will need to be fixed upstream before a -devel package will be provided, mainly: - reentrancy/thread-safety issues - corresponding dynamic library (mostly build related)
