Sun May  6 23:45:52 UTC 2018 - stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de

- Removed shared library header from non-shared devel package

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec  5 15:22:21 UTC 2017 - eich@suse.com

- Build shared library version of ngspice using the multibuild
  feature.
  Building the shared library version of ngspice requires a separate
  build which doesn't build the binaries and doesn't allow to build 
  with the X Window System UI.
  Also it requires the package to be split in several sub-packages:
  * a package containing most of the ngspice binaries.
  * a package containing the shared library and a development
    package for applications using the ngspice API.
  * a code model package for Xspice and a development package
    for code models.
  * a scripts package
- Added -fpie and -pie to CFLAGS to ensure position independent
  executables.
