Description Dhiru Kholia 2013-04-22 17:25:48 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 ejabberd 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

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ejabberd-2.1.12-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm
