Hi David and all, yes, since Eric already pointed this out, distros link as much as they can with dynamic and shared libs, and when necessary (at least in the debian world) they upload a new version (not API/ABI compatible) and thet ask for a binNMU (a.k.a. rebuild against the new package)
This is really easy to maintain, and limited to the apps that one distro wants to package, this hasn't anything to do with the applications in the wild, that will continue to work as usual (hopefully a person who develops an application is smart enough to use static linkage). Anyway, this seems to be already possible in boinc, the problem is that it *doesn't* work. I can help in debugging the actual mechanism and make it work BTW did anybody care about the "libnotify" check that actually doesn't work? (at least on debian) We have tons of patches, and I think most of them should be upstream. cheers, Gianfranco Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
