Description of problem: With F-11 the new subpackage `glibc-static' should be multilib the same way as is currently `glibc-devel'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-static-2.9.90-8.1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: yum install /usr/lib/libc.a Actual results: No package /usr/lib/libc.a available. Expected results: Installed glibc-static-2.9.90-8.1.i586. Additional info: * Wed Feb 18 2009 Jakub Jelinek <jakub> 2.9.90-7 - split static libraries into glibc-static subpackage
Hm, we don't do this for any other -static packages. But I could see glibc being a special case.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
On further thought, considering how much we try and avoid supporting static binaries, I'm not sure we need to do this for now.
I admit I needed a few times to grab by hand glibc-static of the other arch, e.g. to test 32-bit prelink on x86_64 box. But it wasn't just glibc-static, but also elfutils-libelf-devel-static, libselinux-static, etc.
