[opensuse-packaging] Packaging libraries that are intended to be static?
I'm building a package that includes this library: http://www.lonesock.net/soil.html This library is "meant to be used as a static library", so, I'm wondering if I should package it separately or not? I read the following, but still feel uncertain about what to do: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Shared_library_packaging_policy Thanks! ~D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Static libraries go into a -devel package. Richard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

No, they should go into *-devel-static. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines#Static_Libraries cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

No, they should go into *-devel-static. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines#Static_Libraries
If there is no shared library? That would be excessive package number
bloat. The -devel package would require the -devel-static package,
which would never be useful to have installed on its own.
