[Bug 273162] New: glibc static binaries
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273162 Summary: glibc static binaries Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: pbaudis@novell.com ReportedBy: dmueller@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de the static binaries in our glibc package are quite large (checked /sbin/ldconfig). on debian unstable, ldconfig is 600kb while on 10.3 its almost double the size. perhaps there is something obvious to fix here. if its too much work, don't bother. also, I wondered if it wouldn't be better to not statically link it, but use a shared libc link. to avoid the "can't run ldconfig when cache is hosted" problem one could use a rpath or a ldpreload that is used for libpthread. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

This is only possible if we link rpm and bash static. When glibc_post_update is called, the installed glibc is not functional. -- 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.

Yes, your solution is the best IMHO. -- 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.
