prelink 20030902 is released ,i think we should add it to archlinux
Offline
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.

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 .

Thanx for the compliment .
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 ) ~1.5 year ago it broke everything (including the kitchen sink), ate my pizza & drunk my beers .
