Description Ludwig Nussel 2012-01-24 15:51:03 UTC

thttpd triggered the rpmlint check
"non-position-independent-executable" which means there are one or
more binaries that need to be compiled as position independent
executable.

To fix the issue add -fPIE to CFLAGS and -pie to LDFLAGS of the
binaries in question.

FWIW, I have no idea why I'm a maintainer for thttpd -- I've never touched this package. It could be because it used to be in GNOME:Factory, but that was a mistake, clearly.

cc'ing Petr who might have a better idea.

I used to maintain it about 4 years ago. :)
Bouncing to Vitek (pdb claims you are the latest maintainer) - could you please take a look at it?

Comment 3 Vítězslav Čížek 2012-01-31 13:26:08 UTC

Looks like I am the maintainer, then.
I've filed a maintainership request.

Anyway, fixed build and added -fpie for makeweb.
