Summary: Merge Review: neon https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226189 ------- Additional Comments From rdieter@xxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-04-27 10:55 EST ------- Let me (re)iterate that the "golden rule of packaging" is trumped if: 1. following it violates packaging guidelines and/or 2. upstream interface is stooopid. re: static linking. This is a valid use-case for keeping .la files, but these need to be packaged separately in a -static (sub)package. But you had already stated (in comment #13) "I'm not sure it is worth the hassle of going through creating all those -static packages. We could just drop the libneon.a ...", in which case, this is moot. In non-static cases, packages that depend on .la presence for building, are, imo, broken, and can/should be fixed. I'll take the bait and look at subversion and see how hard it is to fix. -- 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
