That is inconsistent compared to what is done for
--with-builtin-tomcrypt. I explicitly requested
--with-builtin-tommath, so I expect it to end up directly in the
lib directory like tomcrypt.
This switch works another way.
It seems to me it does the same thing, but for a different library,
so why does it do so in an entirely different way?
I do not know what library do you talk about.
There are many of them - and rules for them vary slightly.
I explicitly mention it multiple times (see also above): tomcrypt. The
behaviour for --with-builtin-tomcrypt (putting it directly in lib)
seems more sane to me compared to what is done for
--with-builtin-tommath (putting it in lib/.tm). Why is it handled
differently?
When adding it I cared about an ability to fix secirtiy issues in
3d-party libraries not rebuilding and reinstalling FB packages. With
used schema one can simply install fixed system package for tommath in a
case of some issues in it. None were found - but that was when tommath
was at pre-release stage.
BTW, we always recommended to those who need embedded-only access full
install (classic) and server stop.
