https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251500 --- Comment #12 from Jason Tibbitts <tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Packaging this as a static library is completely fine. Obviously not as good a solution as a shared library were that possible, but not really an issue. If you check the FPC meeting logs you'll see explicit discussion of a static library. In fact, a static library has always been an acceptable solution to a bundling issue in the case that making a shared library is not feasible. To fix an issue in..... Bundled code without tracking: patch every single user, if we can figure out what actually bundles the code. Bundled code with proper Provides: bundled(kwsys): patch and rebuild every user, which we can easily find with --whatprovides. Static library: Patch the library exactly once, rebuild it and rebuild all users. Shared library: Patch the library and rebuild it. The first is never acceptable. Any existing code should add the Provides: bit as soon as bundling is discovered. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
