Re: DSO linking changes for wheezy
This change is one I can agree with on technical grounds, though it will cause a great deal of pain in the short term. Have we got any estimates on exactly how much breakage will result before the change gets made? Fedora already made the change a full release cycles ago, and Fedora package maintainers (should have) sent their fixes upstream to the various packages that were affected. You can find some of the details of that experience at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChangeInImplicitDSOLinking https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=564245 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: DSO linking changes for wheezy
I can't see why you think --as-needed is fundamentally wrong or unnecessary. It is fundamentally wrong because -lfoo means I demand that the initializers of libfoo.so run, whether or not I called anything in it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: DSO linking changes for wheezy
mattst88 airlied_, does Fedora use --as-needed by default? Fedora 14 too? airlied_ mattst88: yes The naming of the options makes people easily confused. --no-add-needed is the only option Fedora's gcc passes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
