Michael, I'm on the defensive here because I've poured a huge

of work == time into getting OCaml packages into Fedora, to the stage
where we are almost now competitive with Debian. So I get defensive
about this.
I got an email saying that a package was "violating the Static
Packaging Guidelines",
It would be less destructive, if you would point out false positives and
preferably give hints on how to avoid them, instead of trying to fight
needlessly. Let's see:
Do you refer to "cduce"?
(Summary: Modern XML-oriented functional language)
cduce : does not adhere to Static Library Packaging Guidelines
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/609600
| cduce-devel
| contains only static libraries,
| but no virtual -static package is provided
It isn't in the "-ocaml" namespace, so a closer look is necessary.
The libs are stored below %_libdir/ocaml/ which might be a sufficient
detail to ignore any such packages.
So, my resulting question is: Are there other packages with .a libraries
compiled with OCaml, which cannot be recognised based on the path name?
