RE: [Ganglia-developers] apr, expat, confuse as shipped with ganglia

[Bernard L. <bl...@bc...>]

Guys:
=20
I'd like to re-visit this old discussion thread.  Would it be possible =
now to dynamically link against distro supplied apr, expact and confuse? =
 It sounds like people have already been doing that without huge issues =
so perhaps we can make the official change in the code repository?
=20
Thanks,
=20
Bernard

 From a packaging POV it's generally nicer to use the shipped=20
versions of these libs dynamically linked, for a variety of reasons.=20
To this end where possible I've changed the build in the debian=20
packages to dynamically link against the distribution's libraries. To=20
this end my 3.0.1 gmetad packages dynamically link agains the=20
distro's apr and expat (but not confuse AFAICS, I suspect that's a bug).

It all seems to work ok, and there are a few people out there using=20
my packages (it can't go into debian till the glibc code problem is=20
resolved).
