Because we distribute php extensions as shared modules, unless there is a major conflict or upstream has removed the possibility of building it shared. The suggestion is not the correct fix either, it is a workaround, correct soluction is modifing the PHP source code to use the zlib extension if loaded. We wont change this in released products, nor in 11.1 at this current stage. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem should be reported (if it didn't already happen) and fixed upstreams. Linking statically in the context of software distribution is asking for trouble, because sooner or later it will be necessary to update a library due to a security fix and with statical linking it is next to impossible to track down such linkage. Using the system libz is the solution, and this is what commonly is done to circumvent such problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am with Cristian, linking statically against libz is a (local) workaround at best. The problem should be reported (if it didn't already happen) and fixed upstreams.

Just to make it clear, PHP want the zlib **extension** statically built into PHP **not** the zlib library, which is used as a shared library. The problem with the reporter's suggestion is that I have to change the package structure, obsolete php5-zlib package, test if works, check if packages dont break at update time.. adnd obligate users to have the extension loaded in apache even if they dont need them ( and of course, inheriting security issues of that module for free) I will check if fixing this problem the right way is possible in the future though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
