clearly mentions *-static as in foo-static - and not foo-devel-static. Could this part of the guidelines be clarified, please?
Related to this ambiguity in the naming guidelines, it's kind of pointless if some packages start creating -static subpackages, which provide a virtual -devel *and* a virtual -devel-static package in addition to a shared library base package. Effectively, it implies that another package could "BuildRequires: libfoo-devel" for _static_ linking even if a shared library is available. This is exactly what the old guidelines wanted to avoid (by separating -devel and -static subpackages).

There should be no foo-devel-static. But I am not sure that there is a need to change the guideline since it doesn't mention the devel-static possibility.
At some point this was unclear and some devel-static packages were done, but hopefully this is a thing from the past.

This should never be the case. Fist there should not be any -devel-static package, and second the -static package should not provide a virtual -devel if there are shared libraries.
But once again, I think that the guidelines are clear on that subject: # Static libraries and shared libraries. In this case, the static libraries must be placed in a *-static subpackage. Separating the static libraries from the other development files in *-devel allow us to track this usage by checking which packages BuildRequire the *-static package. The intent is that whenever possible, packages will move away from using these static libraries, to the shared libraries.

So, we should get rid of the six remaining -devel-static packages then. One is in F12 "updates", btw. ;) One at RPM Fusion.
Though, without hanging around on IRC I still don't know whether I could simply go ahead and fix the packages for F13 devel or if this would be a case of filing tickets and waiting many months for a reaction.
But once again, I think that the guidelines are clear on that subject:
Well, I do too, but that's the theory only as I've found two review requests that create the full set of libfoo, libfoo-static + virtual libfoo-devel and libfoo-devel-static in libfoo-static.

I'd file the bugs, explain the problem, and include a short-ish timeline in which you expect a response or will make the change yourself. I say 2 weeks, unless the maintainer has something listed on the Vacation wiki page. Then, if the don't reply, they were warned, just do it and take care of any deps.

A couple of -devel packages that provide virtual -static packages and include both the shared and static build of the same library.
How much do we adhere to our Packaging Guidelines for static libraries?

How much do we adhere to our Packaging Guidelines for static libraries? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Librari...
Mispackaged -static libraries: mysql-devel from mysql-5.1.42-2.fc13.src.rpm postgresql-devel from postgresql-8.4.2-1.fc13.src.rpm
As far as these two go, I think it's just a matter of the specfiles dating from years before we had any such guideline, and not revisiting the point since then. I don't have any particular objection to removing the static versions of their libraries. On the other hand, with the guideline being so widely ignored, I'm not in a hurry to do work to comply with it ...
