Ok, I'm still in the process of fixing RPM 5.1 for the release of 5.1.8 and finally I'm now forced to deeper understand this change:
http://www.mail-archive.com/rpm-...@rpm5.org/msg04548.html Sorry, but despite our previous short discussion I still do _not_ understand what actual problem is fixed here and additionally the patch is partly broken and causes new problems. Not even to mention that the introduced extra twist via rpmio and rpmmisc got the whole story even more complicated and without understanding me the necessarity. For me, Jeff, you had two problems: 1. PCRE vs. PCREPOSIX. Ok, the _source_ of this problem (why for you PCREPOSIX _contains_ PCRE) is unclear, but I understand your problem. You want to link just against PCREPOSIX now. Unfortunately your change to configure.ac now means that for platforms where PCREPOSIX does NOT contain PCRE we now miss to link against PCRE at all. So, here we at least have to fix configure.ac but then we can keep your workaround. 2. The library dependencies. This is the part of your dependency changes I do not understand. I see what you have done, but I do not understand what the problem is which should be fixed. Instead I see new problems caused by this (currently building fails because Lua symbols are no longer seen under at least FreeBSD and Solaris). This part of your change I really would like to reverse. If then there _IS_ still a second problem beside (1) above we can attempt a new fix from scratch. Would this be acceptable for you, Jeff?
