I committed the removal of the two static subpackages and added an Obsoletes: elfutils-devel-static%{depsuffix} < 0.180-5 to elfutils- devel and an Obsoletes: elfutils-libelf-devel-static%{depsuffix} < 0.180-5 to elfutils-devel.
But I haven't done a build yet to give people a chance to yell and scream this is the wrong way to do it. If nobody complains I'll do a build of elfutils-0.180-5 for rawhide on Friday.
The subpackage removal and addition of appropriate Obsoletes tags looks correct to me.
Thanks. I had to make one small adjustment, rpmbuild in rawhide doesn't accept the depsuffix on an Obsoletes. It is unnecessary anyway (it is required on the Requires, because the libraries are multilib).
I have now build elfutils-0.180-5 which drops the -static packages in rawhide. This should only affect the kexec-tools (the maintainers are aware of the BuildRequires change necessary). But if there is any other fallout please yell and scream.
BTW. Can Obsoletes ever be removed? We have an Obsoletes: libelf <= 0.8.2-2 on elfutils-libelf since the original cvsdist import of 2004 because there used to be a different libelf implementation (with a dead upstream these days). Can I remove that? Or is it better to keep it "just in case"?
Thanks,
Mrk
