I advocated static libs to for portability reasons. To let the user the possibility to link statically. Even if the speed is reduced by 90%, my point still holds. Maybe I wasn't clear about one thing. I think that the fedora packages should never be linked against static libs when shared libs exist, but that the static libs should be shipped if a user want to link statically (for numerical and plotting libs). -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
