Per packaging Guidelines, bundled libraries are forbidden (with very rare exceptions). See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries So, for MW, we use the system libraries for cppconn (mysql-connector-c++) ctemplate tinyxml antlr-runtime (fedora >= 17, else version is too old, but f16 is EOL) boost curl libsigc++ yassl And ASAP : vsqlite++ mysql-utilities and mysql-connector-python are also packaged separately. > Whenever we need to use a 3rd party lib that no distribution ships, we're stuck thinking whether it's better to ship it ourselves or just leave out everything, forcing users and packagers to fetch them externally. Can you shed some light? Having bundled libraries in upstream tarball is fine, as far as it is used only when system library is not available (or by configure option) Remi. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
