[RFC] Braking nfs-utils into -devel and -libs rpms.

[Steve Dickson]

Hello,

Over the last year or so there has been
a number of libraries added nfs-utils rm for
the v4 and gssapi support as well as an
upstream lib (libevent) that is not in
the FC release.

In the past, to include the functionality
of these libraries, I have been hacking the
makefile of these libs and of the daemons
that needed these libs to link everything
statically.... This does work but its a
major pain to upgrade plus the binaries are
getting a bit large.... so...

I would like to break up the current nfs-utils
into three different rpms:

nfs-utils       - would include the daemons and init scripts
nfs-utils-libs  - libnfsidmap.so, libgssapi.so, librpcsecgss.so
nfs-utils-devel - header files that a currently installed

My questions are:

1) Does this sound reasonable?
2) I know there is a number of packages that do
    this but is there a package that does it
    the "right way" that I can use as an example?
3) How do I get the new rpms include in the distro?
4) The needed upstream library, libevent, should that
    be included in the nfs-utils rpm or should it be
    in its own or include in another rpm?
5) anything I'm missing??

tia,

steved.
