Re: prelink 20030902

I haven't check prelink for a long time (~1 year), so I have some questions :
Does it prelink already compiled (binaries), it still has problems with binary-distributed software (like acroread or nvidia drivers) ?
Also pls provide a url (ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/prelink has versions till 20030522) & I'd make a pkgbuild for you.

I don't know prelink whether  has problems with binary-distributed software! but i think it can speedup kde and xwindow

Re: prelink 20030902

Ok, although the source url is a gentoo mirror & not the official (I wonder where they find them smile). Here is the PKGBUILD:

# Contributor Manolis Tzanidakis <mtzanidakis@freemail.gr

pkgname=prelink
pkgver=20030902
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="ELF prelinking utility to speed up dynamic linking."
depends=('libelf')
url="http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/gentoo/distfiles"
source=($url/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2 
        prelink-20030505-glibc231.patch.gz)
md5sums=('05eba4c64078964d3ce9b7a6aefa983b' 
         '67770bd984c3cf9e64c270fe8a97660e')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname
  patch -p1 < ../prelink-20030505-glibc231.patch
  ./configure --prefix=/usr 
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
  install -D -m 644 doc/prelink.conf 
    $startdir/pkg/etc/prelink.conf
}

Grab the patch from : http://www.kegep.tuc.gr/~manolis/archli … 1.patch.gz
Note that I haven't tried it, since I don't like breaking my installation big_smile.

Re: prelink 20030902

Thanx for the compliment big_smile.
Lemme know if this prelink thing actually does something useful. Last time I tried it (on my gentoo pre-1.0 installation, those days gentoo was a small distro, much like AL & look at it now smile) ~1.5 year ago it broke everything (including the kitchen sink), ate my pizza & drunk my beers big_smile.
