Hi,

I've decided to write a Fedora change that will contain all of the information about this possible retirement.

I have to fill the dependencies that will be affected by this change, so I'm looking for the tool/command which will give them to me.

I've seen multiple suggestions here in this thread, but is there some kind of consensus about which one should I choose (which one is the most accurate)?

Thank you so much

Lukas

Due to static linking, not all functions will be included in the executable and therefore some simple "hello world"  binaries will not need sysprof-capture-static. However, anything that used the .pc file will need it.

Technically, you could also use glib's static library without dependent .a libraries if you link with glib's .a file but do not specify -static; but that's not a good argument against having a Requires for the dependency in my opinion, because it makes the .pc file not work out of the box. Perhaps a weak dependency, but even that sounds strange.

As to glibc-static I think it's fair to say that whoever uses -static will have to install it on their own, so it can be left out of glib2.spec.

Although listed in glib-2.0.pc, I didn't find any need for the
sysprof-capture-static package, but it does need glibc-static
