Given the objective of the rule, which I believe is to prevent copies of compiled code being out of sync so that issues (especially security) won't stay unfixed an unnoticed for some of the copies, there's no problem with intra-package static link. That is, as long as you don't ship the static library that other packages could link against. One subtle advantage of dynamic linking would be saving space by making the executable image as well as text of the running process smaller, but I guess in your case (trading space for performance) is a quite good deal. -- "Excuse all the blood" -- Dead -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
