Description Wart 2006-11-28 23:23:47 UTC 
Spec URL: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/memchan.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/memchan-2.2.1-1.src.rpm
Description:
Memchan is an extension library to the script language Tcl. It provides several new channel types for in-memory channels and the appropriate commands for their creation.
Comment 1 Paul F. Johnson 2006-11-28 23:36:11 UTC 
%{_libdir}/Memchan%{version}/*.a

Is this allowed?
Comment 2 Wart 2006-11-28 23:51:05 UTC 
Yes.  This is the stub library for linking against memchan.  Tcl stub libraries
are a cross-platform cross-compiler way of performing dynamic linking.  So even
though it's a static library, it's really used for dynamic linking:

This was also brought up in the 'tile' review:

Not sure on
%{_mandir}/mann/*.gz

mann? 

If this is fine, it's good to go in.

mann isn't covered by the FHS, but it's part of the filesystem package and
commonly used by Tcl and Tcl extensions for storing man pages.
