https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251500 --- Comment #8 from Mattias Ellert <mattias.ellert@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- In my opinion, creating a package containing a static library would be the sum of two evils. You get all the work of maintaining a new package but still each package using the library get one (or more) bundled copies of the object code. You get a lot of work for no or little gain. It really is the worst of all options. I also believe that packaging a static library would violate the FPC decision to unbundle (or at least the spirit of the decision) and would require a revision of the FPC decision to include a static linking exception. Either the package should be unbundled properly - which means as a shared library, or the decision to not treat kwsys as a copylib should be revisited. Doing an unbundle-then-reboundle-again solution that a static library would result in is really not appealing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
