But after discussion about the requirement for a -devel package with
the
rabbitmq development team, we are reluctant to split the package in this way.
While the rabbitmq server can run without the .hrl files, they have uses that
are not restricted to development activities: They are useful to allow
interaction with the server at the erlang command line, for administration and
monitoring. So we don't believe that they fall into the same category as the
header files of a library, as described in the "Devel packages" section of the
packaging guidelines.
The problem is that we (I mean people, who interested in getting more erlang
software into Fedora/EPEL) still haven't a rules/policy for packaging erlang
applications and libraries. Among (still very few) erlang-related packages in
Fedora/EPEL, some packaged splitted into main and *-devel subpackage, while
others - not (erlang itself).
After some thinking about this issue, I finally agreed with you - we should
bundle hrl-files with main package, and this mine request should be ignored.
