At http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines#Package_Review_Proc... it states
"A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings. (Notable exception: license texts in specific situations)."
But what about a subpackage "static" (library)? What if there are some basic documentation files common to both non-static and static packages?
Packaging static libraries is a bit unusual in Fedora, since it is better to link things dynamically; only few packages provide static libraries.
Thanks Jussi, So, definitely Can I disable the static subpackage with no feeling of remorse :) ?
Yes - you can either disable the build of the static library altogether (if the program uses autotools, adding --disable-static to the configure flags should work), or remove it at the end of the %install phase with rm %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/*.a
