Summary: Merge Review: glib2 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225804 ------- Additional Comments From mclasen@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-02-03 13:21 EST ------- > One package that needs the glib2 static library is syslog-ng v2 (a sysklogd > replacement). I'd consider that a bug of syslog-ng. I did remove the static libraries from glib2 during the FC6 devel cycle, and then various people came out of the woods and admitted that they had linked to glib2 statically (some initscripts things, and at least one pam module). That was the reason we moved glib2 to /lib, so that we can stop shipping 5 statically linked copies of glib in /bin. But then Jeremy said that static glib libraries are also needed for anaconda. Since it is much harder to avoid static linking there, the static libaries were added back. I would be willing to move the static libraries to a -static subpackage if that helps. One bug relevant to this is bug 191678. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
