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.
That's unfortunate. Have they tried talking to ICU upstream to merge
their (mozjs and mongodb) changes?
ICU upstream would have to keep all past versions of the collation
tables, which is probably not something they are willing to do.
PostgreSQL doesn't freeze the collation tables, so indices created
according to a non-C collation order can silently become invalid if you
upgrade glibc (which provides the tables used by PostgreSQL).
Thanks,
Florian
