Hi Linda,
being around for so long, you really should know better ;-)
Non-sequitur: The more time one spends in acquiring knowledge in a field, the more one realizes how little they really know. The ones who think they know they most, really, don't know how much they don't know.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/multimedia:libs/flac?linkrev=base&rev=55 Probably the doc package was dropped to avoid huge build dependencies (doxygen), when everyone interested in getting this documentation can easily build it from the source.
--- if it is development documentation, perhaps it should have been included in the devel package and not just dropped to make things easier. It certainly seems to go against the basic design principle of "least astonishment".
That's where I wonder where your previously demonstrated unix skill have gone ;-)
--- Relying on dependencies of flac to pull in the library from the same sources is something one would normally assume.
Is this still a problem in recent releases that needs a bug report?
No. It never was a problem in any release.
---- So the fact that (1)'flac' that goes with libflac8-1.3.2 doesn't require it over libflac8-1.3.0 isn't a bug or problem. Nor would it be related to (2) not being able to build 'flac' with it's own libraries being *linked-statically*, as the opensuse version actually removes that option from the sources. Good to know that's not a bug or problem anyone would run into so I won't need to file a bug report -- since it would, in all likelihood be closed out with a comment that installing products from rpm's isn't a supported end-user operation (thus, as you say, "no problem"). Admittedly I should have known, but I just wasn't sure which "no problem" it was.
