I understand. You don't. I do.
What my post is arguing for is not one or the other, but giving the user the choice.
I think you would be okay with making the choice of not rebuilding everything, and I would make the opposite choice.
I want to live in a world where we can both choose.
- AshamedCaptain 5y agoBut you can already rebuild the entire world on every package change if you want (for sadomasochistic reasons? it basically makes gentoo with say KDE _unusable_); and I fail to see if there would be any practical difference on whether you statically link, you dynamically link to a hash-based soname a la nix, or you dynamically link -- you are just rebuilding everything on every library change, and you are already assuming ASLR is useless.
