Description Michael Schwendt 2009-12-08 20:42:09 UTC 
The package doesn't adhere to the guidelines for
packaging static libraries:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries

The -devel package provides a virtual -static package and contains both
the shared and the static build of a library. That makes it possible to
link staticly with the -devel package as a build requirement instead
of having to build-require the -static package.

Correct would be to split off the static libraries into a separate
-static subpackage.

[...]

ruby-devel provides ruby-libs-static
ruby-1.8.6.383-4.fc13.src.rpm
    /usr/lib/libruby-static.a
    /usr/lib/libruby.so
