It is up to the maintainer in question to decide whether to ship static libraries or not. If the build system creates them automatically or users want it then it would make sense to ship them, otherwise just bundle the shared libraries only.

Almost all Fedora MinGW packages ship their executables in the main package. Right now we've got the following binary mingw RPMs which use the -tools suffix: mingw32-gvnc-tools-0.5.2-1.fc19.noarch mingw32-qt-tools-4.8.4-3.fc20.noarch mingw64-gvnc-tools-0.5.2-1.fc19.noarch mingw64-qt-tools-4.8.4-3.fc20.noarch So, for consistency with the majority of the mingw packages I would recommend to bundle executables in the main package. However, I'm open to other suggestions as well. Perhaps it would make sense to bring up this subject to the mailing list so we can come up with a more generic packaging guideline on what to do with shipping executables. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
