Summary: Merge Review: glib2 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225804 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-02-03 16:26 EST ------- (In reply to comment #5) > > One package that needs the glib2 static library is syslog-ng v2 (a sysklogd > > replacement). > > I'd consider that a bug of syslog-ng. I did remove the static libraries from > glib2 during the FC6 devel cycle, and then various people came out of the > woods > and admitted that they had linked to glib2 statically (some initscripts > things, > and at least one pam module). That was the reason we moved glib2 to /lib, so > that we can stop shipping 5 statically linked copies of glib in /bin. But then > Jeremy said that static glib libraries are also needed for anaconda. Since it > is > much harder to avoid static linking there, the static libaries were added > back. Syslog-ng v2 links glib2 and eventlog statically by default. There is a configure option to enable the dynamic linking of the above libraries. I will try it and also try to have the eventlog dynamic library installed in /lib. > I would be willing to move the static libraries to a -static subpackage if > that > helps. > > One bug relevant to this is bug 191678.
