Bastien, check out the review request (bug #241596 comment #24) to see why the rfc* libs were not published. I had contacted upstream on 8 months ago and there was no interest in having these libs as public interfaces [1]. The shared versions even break on weak symbols. It isn't difficult to fix, but if upstream isn't interested in maintaining shared lib support then there is little use to it. So if you do need these libs, you will either need to a) convince upstream that these are needed and help them make proper shared libs out of it b) ignore upstream and patch proper shared lib support anyway into Fedora's packages c) just rip out what you need. I wouldn't want to go b) ("stay close to upstream") and I think if you actually explain to Sam about your needs he will be more open to a) than he was when I asked.

These small component libraries are intended to be statically linked. They are built as libtool convenience libraries (noinst_LTLIBRARIES), and since they have no installation rpath (because they're noinst), libtool won't include them when linking shared libraries. If you really insist on having them as separate, shared libraries, you will have to patch their individual makefiles, declare them as lib_LTLIBRARIES, and rebuild automake. Then, it will work. But, I wouldn't recommend it. These convenience libraries are very small, and there's a handful of them. Installing them as separate shared libraries just pollutes libdir even more. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
