Hi,
I just downloaded the Fedora rawhide gawk-4.1.0-2.fc20.src.rpm package,
and I have two questions about this:
1. It installs the libtool *.la files in /usr/lib64/gawk in addition to the
*.so files. Is there any reason to install the *.la files? This simple
change to the spec file will eliminate the *.la files:
< %{_libdir}/gawk/*
---
> %{_libdir}/gawk/*.so
2. I see that /usr/include/gawkapi.h is included in the gawk rpm. I'm not
sure of the packaging guidelines, but this file is not required for normal
gawk usage. It is needed only when building extension libraries. Should
there be a separate gawk-devel rpm to contain gawkapi.h? Perhaps it is not
worth it for a single file.
Regards,
Andy
