The problem of a single application upgrade requiring many libraries to also be upgraded has been solved in any number distributions with good package managers. If you're not yet using one, I would recommend you try one out. > The take-home message is this: Static linking is GOOD, and the world > needs more of it. No. Static linking leads to bug propagation. This is especially bad when there are security bugs in well-used libraries, (for example the zlib bug from some time ago). Widespread use of static linking makes it much harder to get security fixes out since it requires updating many applications. With dynamic linking, only the affected library need be updated. -Carl _______________________________________________ clipart mailing list clipart@...330... http://freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart

Hi, A few months ago there was a presentation of Inkscape at the University of A Coruña. Now the slides used at that presentation have been made available. The slides are made in inkscape in order to provide a useable space on the right to do some demos as you speak. Find them at: http://www.gauss-fic.udc.es/Members/moebius/tutoriales/inkscape/inkscape-sl… And «kudos to the author»: Adrián Perez de Castro If an english translation is needed I'll be glad to provide one. Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites Fariña Dept. Desarrollo <lucas@...212...> Asix Informática <http://www.asixinformatica.com/> Tel/Fax: +34 986 54 26 98
