systemd, ELF binaries and runtime dependency tracking
Paul Eggleton <paul.eggleton@...>
Hi folks
Upstream in the systemd project, a proposal has been made to add a special section to output ELF binaries to record soft runtime dependencies, so that they could be read and utilised by distribution build systems such as ours (they would be translated into RRECOMMENDS in our case). At the moment that doesn't seem to have generated a huge amount of interest in the traditional distro space, but would it be interesting for us? https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/17416 For clarity, we (Microsoft) will volunteer to do the integration assuming the above pull request gets reopened and merged, which is more likely if we express our interest. Cheers Paul |
