I'd be very interested in learning this too. It was also briefly discussed in a recent packaging committee meeting, with no real conclusion: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/IRCLog20070306 > Roland, > > Do you know why we only eu-strip libraries if they have the execute bit > set? As the cmake folks pointed out, this is the opposite of Debian's > policy (never set the libraries executable). Just to clarify, you mean /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip? BTW, kernel modules get stripped only if they're executable as well at end of %install, that one should be an easy one to rectify even if execute bits for shared libs are useful. Oh, and ldd says "warning: you do not have execution permission for ..." for whatever non-executable is passed to it. Anyone aware of anything else? -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
