Hi Proftpd Developers, I encountered a strange linkage of proftpd code in module mod_sql_mysql.c where in comment, they have put down the Libraries to link against, and from Makefile/configure grepping the libraries name by doing a cat of module_name.c and grep Libraries+sed, and linking against it. Isn't this a brain dead thing, a stupid way of doing things for the sake of portability? It took me a while to find out from where all the modules of proftpd is linking against ssl and crypto. Please pull down such codes immediately. They are braindead, braindead, braindead.....DO I NEED TO REPEAT MORE.
Please don't add to people's agony and waste of time by releasing such software for the sake of portability and Maintenance of Makefile. A Bug can easily creep in, by such design. Autotool itself is full of gotchas and on top of that proftpd's unique way of linkage to library. ~Shakil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
