On second thoughts: it's so tiny that I'm not sure it's worthwhile. The CPU and memory overhead of using a shared library possibly exceeds the savings. The only real argument for using a system library is that it's possibly more likely to be kept up to date, but I'm not sure that's terribly important. When the gzip security problem was discovered a while ago the updates were more complex because so many programs had included copies of zlib. On the other hand I suppose too many people (not using Debian :-) will complain if they have to download lzo by hand so it has to go in to support them. -- Martin _______________________________________________ distcc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
