Re: [MiNT] WCOWORK implementation : conclusions.



Quoting Mark Duckworth <mduckworth@atari-source.com>:
Hrmm... I like that.. And probably a nice easy implementation.
You could make that a part of the rpm postop too.

relink /bin/*:/usr/bin/* -lmintlib

Slick :)

Replacing libs then becomes easy, and if an application needs an older library
or newer library than what exists - the relink aborts and you keep the one
thats already linked and known to work. No RPM dependency issues, and you keep
the fast load times of static linking, and the upgradeability of dynamic libs.
I definately like it (and this was the sort of discussion I was hoping to
encourage).

So - what things need to be changed to implement this?  It would seem like a
less invasive change than implementing dynamic libs.
