Hello!
I maintain the xen package in AUR, and I recently got a merge request on my private repo to split the libs off into a split package in order to make building packages for things like ocaml a little easier. Previously, packages depended on a now outdated xenstore package.
I have a vague hope of someone picking up the package at some point for inclusion into [community], or at least to that standard. That said, I do want to be responsive to people. There aren't many -libs packages out there, so I'm wondering where the standard is, and searching around hasn't been fruitful for me so far.
Any pointers would be welcome. Thanks!
Arch doesn't split off libraries and development headers into seperate packages and this is a feature. There are few exceptions to this but generally I don't think there is anything written about this. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
