Description H.J. Lu 2007-11-14 16:18:32 UTC 
mpfr-devel-2.3.0-1.fc8 doesn't include libmpfr.a. gmp-devel-4.1.4-12.3 in
F7 does include libmpfr.a.
Comment 1 Ivana Varekova 2007-11-15 10:50:51 UTC 
There is trend to exclude static libraries - 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-2302ec1e1f44202c9cc4bcce24cb711266557ad7
so it is ok. 
But if the static libraries are necessary for some package they could be added
again but there have to be reason why this package can't use dynamic library. So
if there is no such package then this is not a bug. 
If there is such a reason to add libmpfr.a please reopen this bug and write it
here. Thanks.
