To ease deployment to test systems, static builds of this benchmark are very useful. Currently, if I want to use libnuma, I have to build numabench on an Ubuntu system, since libnuma.a is missing in openSUSE 11.3 libnuma-devel. I don't understand the argument about security here. It is an issue if you create packages containing statically linked binaries. That's orthogonal to shipping static libs.

Not shipping static libs by default is just distro package best practice as static libs mostly are a waste of space as they are unused on the distro. It's easy for anyone to branch the package in obs and just build a version with the static lib 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.

Currently, if I want to use libnuma, I have to build numabench on an Ubuntu system, since libnuma.a is missing in openSUSE 11.3 libnuma-devel. You can easily build a libnuma-devel package yourself using our opensuse build service. You can also send a submit request then if you like to have the changes getting

In general we avoid static libraries, but for libnuma it may make some sense. -- 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.
