Right, but... isn't that a bit confusing?  Wouldn't a user expect to get
the OpenBLAS lib when installing the openblas package?

Having said that, shouldn't the dynamic library be in the openblas
package, or, alternatively, shouldn't the (empty) OpenBLAS package
require libopenblas_dynamic?

I just had a look into the Fedora package where the openblas package
contains the shared library and the basic documentation:

  $ rpm -ql openblas
  /usr/lib64/libopenblas-r0.2.12.so
  /usr/lib64/libopenblas.so.0
  /usr/share/doc/openblas
  /usr/share/doc/openblas/Changelog.txt
  /usr/share/doc/openblas/GotoBLAS_00License.txt
  [...]

Nevertheless, it's your call, so you can upload any time.


Thanks,
Corinna
