Summary: Can we have libpTk.a built shared within perl-Tk ?
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: low
Component: perl-Tk
AssignedTo: andreas.bierfert(a)lowlatency.de
ReportedBy: kwizart(a)gmail.com
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fedora-perl-devel-list(a)redhat.com
Description of problem: libpTk.a is built statically within perl-Tk package.
This file isn't provided, so any dependency that what to extend the widget for
perl-Tk will need to build again this static library.
I would be better to have a shared built instead (if doable)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): current perl-Tk
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. built a perl-Tk dependency that extend the widget capability
(case study perl-Tk-TableMatrix, see #444745)
2. by default it will build the libpTk.a again
3. Each Shared Objet widget will pick from libpTk.a as needed, raising the size
of the resulting .so (if not having duplicate code).
Actual results:
-llibpTk is using libpTk.a
Expected results:
-llibpTk should use libpTk.so
Additional info:
The related licenses files should probably be added to the package.
