Well,
* It's amazing how low Fedora's packaging QA is.

* It's amazing to watch people resorting to rude and hostile attacks, when they
don't understand their mistakes.


a) This package's *.pc are simply plain broken.

> Mamoru, I agree, in particular to the doc subpackage. boost-doc, gtkmm24-docs,
> qt-doc are precedents.

b) The are 100s of counter-examples (Not splitting out *-doc packages is the
norm!)

* In general *-doc packages don't make any sense on rpm based systems.
It's a Debianism often inherited from Deb packages, because Debian's packaging
doesn't have a counter part to rpm -U --excludedocs.
* Exceptions are those cases a package contains "huge documents" where spitting
them out into a separate noarch-package would provide "big savings" to a
repository.

Finally: MUSTFIX:

c) This *-docs particular package is mere devel docs,
=> Requires: by *-devel.
