However, Fedora's policy is that bundled libraries aren't allowed, so we (as in Fedora) really should be packaging leveldb separately ourselves. > I think the ideal situation would be for the debs to build against the > debian package, and allow others an easy way to get the correct source > (by bundling it in the ceph source tarball, or via a simple build script > that does the equivalent of git submodule update --init). > > Do you have a clear picture of how that would work? One common way would be to have a flag for ./configure, something like --use-system-leveldb, that would disable building the bundled leveldb. I'm afraid I know next to nothing about autotools, so I'm not sure how exactly it's done, but I don't think it's particularly complex for someone who does know how to use autotools. Jonathan
