Hi,
Looking at the packaging conventions, I didn't see any information for creating devel packages, which is something rather... common :-) (or maybe I missed the page about this)
It looks to me like all packages use different conventions for this, while a standard pattern for summary and description would make sense.
Eg, a standard summary could be "Development files and libraries for $package" and a standard description could be "Headers and libraries for developing applications that use $something."
We had that in the past, but it didn't worked out. There were too many exceptions necessary. But I don't remember details anymore.
Also, right now, it's not clear to me if the group of the devel package should be the same as the non-devel package or something like Development/Libraries.
Should be somewhere below Development, not in the same RPM group as the main package is. -- Thorsten Kukuk, Project Manager/Release Manager SLES SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
