How about we follow what Fedora does
Again and again I see: "Fedora does…". Why do we need to follow Fedora every step?
We are openSUSE! We have a good practice as it is in our distribution.
We don't, but the more core stuff like packaging that we do in as close a way as possible, the less effort required for everyone involved, especially those working across both distros.
Indeed. And in this particular case we already do mostly what Fedora (or Debian for the matter) does re static libs: namely put them into their own package or into the -devel package. (I.e. not what Dan thought Fedora does).
Actually, Debian *doesn’t* generally split them out anymore. They’re usually kept in the -dev subpackage, which is kind of annoying, because it makes it hard to force things to use shared libraries when they should (some build scripts prefer static and will use shared only when they can’t find the static ones). That’s pretty much the reason why they’re split out in Fedora and openSUSE. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
