Because last night I just make a patch without modifying specfiles in details. I saw your patch and know what you want, I'd say I'm trying to implement it better In packaging, we'd say static libs are prohibited because of many reasons. even if we have to use it, we create a sub-package named "*-devel-static" to explicitly declares it's a static lib package. If not the guess, we have 4000 packages and numerous libraries, can you know which one needs to be replaced by shared libraries later? and introduce libsuitesparseconfig.a in suitesparse-devel will result a problem that your Octave will "Requires" a -devel package as runtime library. So I introduce a new package named libsuitesparseconfig which has a .so to do that work, actually this package was formerly known as UFConfig. And I also include libsuitesparseconfig.a into -devel-static as a fallback. They're not finished yet.
