Description Ali-Reza Anghaie 2003-07-23 02:25:47 UTC

Description of problem: 
 
Provide the ability for RPM to prelink a binary with some sensible options on rpm -i --prelink (or 
something). And make sure that's maintainable so up2date and other such programs will keep 
default prelink options too. 
 
The RPM DB would also maintain the md5 or sha1 post-prelink for integrity checking as 
normal. 
 
Finally when the option is in use RPM would warn that in-memory versions of the program will 
end up w/ multiple copies (which I guess would happen on upgrades ~anyway~).

Moved to RHEL as a RFE there.

Comment 2 Josh Rollyson 2004-06-21 07:32:05 UTC

Ability to call prelink automatically and track checksum changes
resulting from prelink would be very useful.
