This i don't understand. I thought, that only *.h Files included in - devel Package. And here RPMLint would like to move the so's to devel. Anyone understand this?

The .so files are normally only used at link time and should thus be in the devel packages. Only the .so.[0-9]+ should be in the normal library packages. There are of course exceptions when an app dlopen() a so-file and in this case it will need to be provided.. but the cases are rather rare.

There are more than *.h files in devel. There can be pkgconfig files, or static libraries (.a). The .so files rpmlint complains about are not library files but symbolic links. Typically you have libfoo.so.1.0.0 which is the library file, and libfoo.so.1 and libfoo.so which are links thereto. libfoo.so.1 is a link used at runtime, while libfoo.so is only needed at build time. So, rpmlint is correct, the .so files above should be in a devel package. -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
