Yes and no. Both gmond and gmeta have always depended on the functionality that is provided by libganglia. The difference is that before libganglia was being statically linked into both gmond and gmetad. Now that libganglia is dynamically linked, it needs to be delivered with both RPMs. So I guess the new part in trunk is that libganglia is now a dynamic library rather than a static library. Libganglia.so must be included in the gmond, gmeta and ganglia-devel packages. However, the headers, libganglia.a and libganglia.la are only part of the ganglia-devel package. The spec file should already be building the packages accordingly.
