Description Dhiru Kholia 2013-04-22 17:21:40 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 vmpsd 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
