Description Richard W.M. Jones 2013-10-16 19:33:15 UTC

Description of problem:

The hivex-static subpackage contains the statically linked
hivex library.  We don't use it in RHEL.  It causes an RPMdiff
failure (because it isn't built with execshield -- it's my
understand that you *cannot* use execshield on a static library).

Therefore I think we should consider blocking hivex-static.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

hivex-1.3.8-1.el7

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-10-16 19:35:30 UTC

Actually I realized after writing all of that, that I can
of course just drop the subpackage from the *build* myself.
Reassigning to hivex.

Comment 2 bfan 2013-10-22 07:05:53 UTC

Can reproduce,
hivex-static-1.3.8-1.el7.x86_64.rpm exist in this version

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-10-31 09:44:03 UTC

Bill, does anything need to be done to adjust the compose?
hivex-static is not used by any other package.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2013-10-31 18:56:09 UTC

If the subpackage is no longer built, nothing needs done.

Comment 6 Wei Shi 2013-11-18 08:20:07 UTC

Verified:
  hivex-1.3.8-2.el7

No hivex-static subpackage was generated.
