The whole goal of using a git submodule is so that we don't offer to 3rd-parties a library, and so that we can change the API without any problems. Using a static library offers all the disadvantages and none of the advantages of using a git submodule. So it won't be changed upstream, or downstream. I'm guessing the FPC hasn't found out about the libgd git-submodule yet... -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
