https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries_2 Build: e00compr-1.0.1-3.fc17.src.rpm e00compr-devel contains only static libraries, but no virtual -static package is provided
(In reply to comment #0) > e00compr-devel > contains only static libraries, > but no virtual -static package is provided It has a -static{?_isa} instead, which could be not enough. e.g. # repoquery --provides fltk-static fltk-static = 1.1.10-6.fc15 fltk-static(x86-64) = 1.1.10-6.fc15 But e00compr only provides the one with _isa, so you only can do this: """ # yum --enablerepo=rawhide install "e00compr-static(x86-64)" Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package e00compr-devel.x86_64 0:1.0.1-3.fc17 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: e00compr(x86-64) = 1.0.1-3.fc17 for package: e00compr-devel-1.0.1-3.fc17.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package e00compr.x86_64 0:1.0.1-3.fc17 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ====================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ====================================================================================================================================== Installing: e00compr-devel x86_64 1.0.1-3.fc17 rawhide 17 k Installing for dependencies: e00compr x86_64 1.0.1-3.fc17 rawhide 18 k Transaction Summary ====================================================================================================================================== Install 2 Package(s) """ But not "yum install e00compr-static"... So I'd vote for providing both, one time with and one time without isa to catch all possible use cases... (To respond to bug 747849 comment 12: you can obviously BR e00compr-static{?_isa})
> e.g. # repoquery --provides fltk-static > fltk-static = 1.1.10-6.fc15 > fltk-static(x86-64) = 1.1.10-6.fc15 Not the same thing. Subpackage Provides are automatic. That is a real subpackage, not an explicit Provides. > you can obviously BR e00compr-static{?_isa}) Think twice! Don't forget the src.rpm's Requires. The src.rpm is not arch-specific. It is built once on an arbitrary %arch builder and then placed in the SRPMS repo, which is a single repo for all archs. In addition to any %ifarch-conditional BuildRequires in the spec file you would get strange results in the src.rpm, such as (x86-64) Requires on i686. Don't forget multilib'ing. Do we even multilib -static packages? The only ones I know of are the C/C++ standard libs. No other -static package is multilib'ed.
