Andrea Mazzoleni, author of both TommyDS and SnapRAID, has requested that TommyDS not be built as a shared library. I've opened FPC ticket #423 requesting a "copylib" bundling exception. If granted, this review request should be closed. Shouldn't it be a header only package? (A small) part of the problem is that the headers may be modified for use in an application. That's one of the reasons it should be a copylib. If it's a copylib, then it shouldn't be a package at all. If it's not a copylib, then it would have to include the sources. This isn't like a C++ template library, where the code is *in* the headers. I am withdrawing this review, as FPC approved the SnapRAID/TommyDS bundling exception (FPC ticket #423) at their 2014-05-15 meeting. Should any of the conditions that led to the bundling exception request change, I will contact FPC. |
