[libvirt] [PATCH] spec: Only pull in API docs with -devel package

Move some API specific documentation out of -docs package and into -devel, and some end user docs out of -devel and into -docs, then drop the -devel dep on -docs. This is more in line with the suggested Fedora guidelines. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1310155 --- libvirt.spec.in | 19 +++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in index 8036fa3..500cde9 100644 --- a/libvirt.spec.in +++ b/libvirt.spec.in @@ -1197,7 +1197,6 @@ namespaces.

... not convinced about this one. The Fedora policy is kinda vague here, possibly on purpose to allow for some leeway:
For example API documentation belongs in the -devel subpackage, not the main one. Or if there's a lot of documentation, consider putting it into a subpackage. In this case, it is recommended to use *-doc as the subpackage name.
Since we already have a -doc subpackage, it would make more sense to me to put all the documentation, including the API reference, in there and keep the -devel subpackage as lean as possible. My rationale being: you might end up installing -devel because you want to compile some software that uses libvirt, in which case you're not interested in either the documentation or the API reference; on the other hand, if you're developing an application based on libvirt yourself, you probably want to have both.

I agree the policy is vague. I made your suggestion and pushed. - Cole
