IMO, this should be the nominal case.
OK, I've done this instead now.
3.2
- headers in *-static
- libs in *-static
- *-static "Provides: *-devel = %{version}-%{release}"
I would not recommend this variant.
Additional complications can arise from "shared/common files" and from
config files (E.g. some *.la's and *.pc's are not unlikely to become
problematic). They need to be looked after on a case by case basis.
It's annoying that the .pc file includes a libdir=/usr/lib64, else a
-devel (without the .a) could be noarch. :-( As it stands, we won't
be able to install the -devel as multi-arch because all the .h files
will conflict.
