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.
