In any way, I would like to know the opinion of the developers. If you continue with the current compilation of syslog-ng (mixed) or move to a fully shared. And if continue in mixed mode, if any of lib that uses as static is updated, then the syslog-ng should be marked as "out-of-date", like for example now, with the recent update to glib2. ;) -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
