The guidelines intention is to recommend "foo-static".
Ok, so what about rpmlint warnings? Ignore them or bugzilla rpmlint?
IIRC Ville wanted to speak with upstream to allow *.a in *-static. Maybe he'll comment on what rpmlint currently does and whether upstream perhaps rejected this, or perhaps whether my memory is segfaulting. :)
*-static is supposed to be what you seem to prefer to call "*-static-devel".
The difference is just the name.
I don't care about one or the other name, but rpmlint does.
What does rpmlint say? I think the idea was to have all, but static libs in *-devel and *.a in *-static.
(But there are cases when user should be able to link against static libs, a prominent case -- my case -- being numerical models).
You know my opinion on this argument of yours: You are abusing Linux.
Not at all. I have specific needs.
I think Ralf means that you are abusing Linux by computing numerical models and doing serious number crunching. Go play a game ;)
