[csw-maintainers] Handling of devel package splits

[Dagobert Michelsen]

Hi,

I am currently packaging up a load of X11 packages. Some of them
have a load of development-stuff (headers, etc.) in them, some
only a few header files. I tend to split off the development stuff
for all of them in _devel-packages for consistency, but as we don't
have an explicit policy on this I would like to open up a small
discussion if you would consider it feasible to split even for
a few files for consistency. The alternative would be to split
on a "by case" basis where some packages with many header files
would have a devel package and some would include them in the
base package.

After a brief discussion I would like to open a poll for this.

Thoughts?


Best regards
