Description Dhiru Kholia 2013-04-23 05:21:32 UTC 
Description of problem:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE says that "you MUST
enable the PIE compiler flags if your package is long running ...".

However, currently tabled is not being built with PIE flags. This is a
clear violation of the packaging guidelines.

This issue (in its wider scope) is being discussed at,

https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1104

Fixed in tabled-0.5.2-2.fc20.
Comment 2 Dhiru Kholia 2013-05-06 06:09:06 UTC 
Pete,

Will F19 get the fixed version as well?
Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2013-05-06 15:04:32 UTC 
Do we really need it? The package has no users, I just keep it around
so we can pilfer useful code from it (for e.g. Openstack swift-oserver).
I suppose I could...
