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. [...] linux-atm-libs-devel /usr/lib/libatm.so <=> /usr/lib/libatm.a
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.
