Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: perl-Tk AssignedTo: andreas.bierfert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: kwizart@xxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Description of problem: libpTk.a is built statically within perl-Tk package. This file isn't provided, so any dependency that what to extend the widget for perl-Tk will need to build again this static library. I would be better to have a shared built instead (if doable) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): current perl-Tk How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. built a perl-Tk dependency that extend the widget capability (case study perl-Tk-TableMatrix, see #444745) 2. by default it will build the libpTk.a again 3. Each Shared Objet widget will pick from libpTk.a as needed, raising the size of the resulting .so (if not having duplicate code). Actual results: -llibpTk is using libpTk.a Expected results: -llibpTk should use libpTk.so Additional info: The related licenses files should probably be added to the package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl Fedora-perl-devel-list mailing list Fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-perl-devel-list
