Hi!
I'd love to get some input about an idea which I expressed in
https://bugs.debian.org/1079603 - namely, to move static qemu-user
emulation binaries from qemu-user-static package to qemu-user package
(which contains dynamically-linked binaries with exactly the same functionality), effectively keeping just one, static, build of qemu-user instead of two. I see no reason of building two versions of qemu-user binaries, since static version is well-suited for all usages, while dynamically-linked one, while obviously smaller, is limited to just
a few use cases.
The details are expressed in the bugreport mentioned above. The
resulting layout is compatible with current expectations, so nothing
should be (immediatly) changed in existing packages/habits.
If there are other reasons to keep non-static build of qemu-user which
I didn't think of, please tell me.
Thanks,
/mjt
