Not exactly forbidden, but there is an interesting tidbit at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#-devel_packages "-devel packages don't really make sense for Java packages. Header files do not exist for Java packages." -devel packages can exist for many reasons besides simply providing headers, imho. -- Rex -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
