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.
The -devel package usually only contains development headers and
the .so symlink to the dynamic library, so in 99% of the cases you just
make the -static package require the -devel package, which contains all
of the necessary stuff.
