I remember having this discussion in Mandriva when we dropped %major
from devel name. As a result the library policy (which we have on Mageia
as well) was altered so that all packages should have
- name-devel
- tarballname-devel
as provides, i.e. without lib%name-devel (except for existing pkgs).
This is what I've been using for any new packages I've packaged.
However, as usual, I'm fine with any consistent scheme (one or the other
or both).
