I talked to Steven Rostedt, one of the upstream authors of the lib. It seems they're working towards providing it as a shared lib, but aren't quite ready to do that yet. Until they think they're in a position to ship a shared lib and not have it break things using it on upgrade, I'd suggest people go for the exception. We update the kernel far too often to start shipping a library with an unstable API/ABI. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
