Kind of, the above is what it says in src/xz/Makefile.am, above xz_LDFLAGS = -static. There's another similar -static setting in src/xzdec/Makefile.am. BTW, I didn't realize that xz conflicts pretty badly with lzma and isn't a 100% compatible replacement but knew that it isn't really necessarily ready for packaging yet - I did it for curiosity and to take look at what xz can currently do. In case someone's interested, the specfile I was working on is at http://scop.fedorapeople.org/packages/xz.spec (I've already forwarded this to the Fedora lzma maintainers). -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
