The results of the last Managers meeting is that the PIC policy seems to have been accepted (xml writing pending). So to prepare for this change I've put together a patch that checks shared objects for text relocations. If the shared object is found to contain any text relocations then the script will echo the name of where it will be installed to. It strict is set in FEATURES it will print a more verbose message, ask for help if the user is a coder and then and exit with a value of 1 This recent --strip-uneeded update makes the isetdyn check obsolete thus why it's removed in this patch. Note: I'm a rather hardcore PIC fan so none/very few of my shared objects should have this behavior so I've not actually gotten a warning displayed yet. Testing welcome.
Attachment get removed? Did I forget to actually attach the attachment or give a url. shrug. http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/portage_misc/prepstrip-1.17.diff Anyway it works as expected.
This is in portage. Thanks closing bug.
