[Mageia-dev] [RFE] Bundled copies of system libraries - call for participation

[Florian Hubold]

I've just whipped up
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_carrying_bundled_copies_of_system_libraries

It's purpose is listing and maybe documenting the reasons why
some packages carry bundled copies of system libraries. I've begun
with ffmpeg, as it has a rather bad record for security updates on
Mageia 1 IMHO, as some security updates would almost have been
missed, some were delayed for a long time, and some wouldn't
have been noticed unless by accident.

Please, every packager participate, and list the packages you know about.
Another good example would be xulrunner.


PS: Maybe it should also be used to documented the packages which
require some static linking, and the reasons, if there are any of these.
