zlib-devel-static used to require zlib-devel - removing this require breaks sash and I see no good reason to remove it, so declining

The static subpackage is there so what the ... is your problem?

your tone is inappropriate

as coolo stated: %{name}-devel-static used to require %{name}-devel and you no longer do this.

%package devel-static
-Summary: Include Files and Libraries mandatory for Development
+Summary: Static lib for libz1 library
Group: Development/Languages/C and C++
-Requires: %{name}-devel = %{version}
Provides: %{name}-devel:%{_libdir}/libz.a

and this, despite it being a CLEAR requirement according the packaging guideline... go read them and adjust your attitude, please.

to make it eay for you, here the quote from the packaing guidelines:
"Static libraries must be placed in a *-devel-static subpackage, which Requires the *-devel subpackage. Separating the static libraries from the other development files in *-devel allow us to track this usage by checking which packages BuildRequire the *-devel-static package. The intent is that, whenever possible, packages will move away from using these static libraries, to the shared libraries. When a package only provides static libraries, skip the Requires on the *-devel subpackage. Packages which explicitly need to link against the static version must then BuildRequire: foo-devel-static, so that the usage can be tracked. "

the point here is: whatecer buildrequires -devel-static must also have the headers avaialble.. which sounds obvious.
