Comment 1 Anders F Björklund 2004-10-05 07:24:12 EDT

Created attachment 104775 [details]
rpm-4.3.2-static.patch

Special case LDFLAGS, for the darwin platform

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2004-10-05 07:33:25 EDT

Static linking breaks often enough on linux that
it is hardly "available".

Rather than attempting per-platform LDFLAGS, it's easier
to just disable the only use linking rpmi.

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2005-01-04 14:45:49 EST

Added to HEAD and rpm-4_4 branches, should be in rpm-4.4.1-0.6 when built.
Thanks for the patch.
