Hey guys, I'm guessing that packaging a library must be a
somewhat
different process than packaging other software (because a library and a
devel package must be produced), but I am not clear on what those
differences are. I.e, what special information does the SPEC file
require?
Just definition of at least one subpackage, the -devel subpackage.
Are the rpmbuild commands any different?
No.
I'd be glad to be pointed to the correct documentation. There
didn't
seem to be a section covering this in the Fedora RPM guide.
There's a lot:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages
