Hi, packaging guidelines says that bundling should be avoided if upstream supports it (build system has this option). I was dealing with situation with icu. Fedora version differs from bundled versions in packages. Because of this for mozjs45 some tests are failing, so I had to disable them. For mongodb it is the same. Also upstream say that they was thinking about it and decided to use bundling [1], because with different icu versions, ordering may differ, so users can get inconsistent results. What should be preferred: use system library, avoid bundling (with all its benefits) and provide same set of languages as a rest of system OR provide users the same behavior as they would expect from upstream binaries ? Thanks, Marek [1] " For ICU, we persist the collation sort keys into our collections for performance (memcmp is cheaper then comparing strings using a collator at runtime). Since sort keys are not stable across ICU versions, we did not want to risk the user using a different version of ICU and getting wrong results as a result. This also means MongoDB will be very reluctant to upgrade ICU in the future without being able to provide side-by-side support for the collations in icu4c-57.1."
