> A USER never has any requirements for static libs. As I said in another thread, there is a demand for static libs, especially math stuff, to have portable binaries, in time and accross linux distributions. It is really handy to be able to compile a model statically and then put the executable on any computer to run it. And it may also be nice to be able to rerun a model some time after, without a need to recompile. I don't have discussed about that subject with a lot of people but in the team I work with we like to compile statically math and plotting stuff. I have absolutely no idea about the number of people interested by static libs, but I don't see any reason to avoid them when there is no security issue, as it allows to build portable binaries. -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
