He's talked to me about it briefly. We'll combine our efforts one way or
another. He used my specs file as a basis.
I did not like the idea of splitting up so's throughout development/lib
prefixed packages because subversion uses a lot of them and there
primary purpose is for subversion working. Maybe their
secondary/tirtiary purpose is for the development of other programs.
The devel package in the specs file in the subversion tree contains the
linker scripts, headers, and the static libraries.
The so's are broken up right now into several different packages based
on the different functionality:
subversion-base-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
subversion-client-common-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
subversion-client-local-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
subversion-client-dav-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
subversion-repos-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
subversion-server-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
subversion-devel-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
subversion-python-0.14.5-3567.1mdk.i586.rpm
All are split out between these packages depending on their purpose.
--enable-dso is used for this purpose. I'm neutral on the subversion
folder in /usr/lib thing, since the subversion shared objects are
obvious do to the 'svn' in the name.
I always figured the lib-something-mdk.x.rpm packages were meant for
true-to-form libraries, used only for development. None of the
subversion shared objects I can think of except the swig bindings in the
python package can be said to be that way, so I did not consider using
them. As an example, libperl.so is in the perl-base package, not in a
libperl package.
