Hi,

I looked at fixing percona-xtrabackup and noticed it is staticly linking
to a bunch of libraries. These .a files are then removed in %install so
they are not shipped. It bundles a bunch of this stuff from its extra/ dir:

duktape  googletest  icu  libcbor  libedit  libevent  libfido2  libkmip  lz4  
protobuf  rapidjson  robin-hood-hashing  zlib  zstd

On top of that, it pins boost to a specific (older!) version and bundles boost
seperate via dist-git / sources :(

I've just fixed it up in the same bad way, making it link to the old
openssl just to get it past F35FailsToInstall for rhbz#1989019. It is
going through rawhide and the branches now. But I think perhaps this
package should be removed from rawhide.

This package clearly breaks a lot of packaging rules, so I was
wondering if there was ever any exception of some kind given to this
package? I will definitely look at $dayjob migrating away from this,
eg see if myhoard or mariabackup can be used instead.

Any feedback would be appreciated, as it seems the maintainer is MIA.

Paul
