Description Michael Schwendt 2010-07-01 10:40:17 UTC
ksplice-0.9.9-1.fc12.src
is missing
BuildRequires: binutils-static

[...]

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries_2

If a library you depend on only provides a static version your package can link against it provided that you BuildRequire the *-static subpackage. Packagers in such a situation should be aware that if a shared library becomes available, that you should adjust your package to use the shared library.

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2010-07-06 17:42:01 UTC
Bacause there are general issues to build ksplice to build agains kernel-2.6.32, I would like to defer this issue until the gneral issues are fixed.
