I was aware of the static libs, wasn't sure what to do since the project goal is to have less, not more static. PAPI benefits from a static libpfm as it packages a static libpapi. That said, I'm not really sure why it does as I can't see the benefit of a static libpapi. I was of the opinion this was probably a papi packaging error.
The static version of papi and thus libpfm is needed to get wide spread use in the HPC community which preferes static binaries for performance reasons.
Will do. Thanks, There is no need (I can see) to support older releases with this.
They would only be needed if you want to have mostly identical packages in SLES and openSUSE. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
