As there will be new shared libraries, the questions comes into my mind if it is save to use the dynamic linked executable or if it _IS_ necessary too use the static one. As I don't want to run into trouble, I added Makefile.inc whith NOSHARED?= YES to the rdist-source-subdirectory and build the whole thing static. The binaries don't differ too much in size static linked executable 48820 Jun 20 15:27 obj/rdist dynamic linked executable 45056 Jun 14 12:48 /usr/bin/rdist so that the static option could be used as default. Has anybody got experience with this kind of update??
