Package: samtools Version: 0.1.5c-2 Severity: serious This package is compiled with -fPIC in order to enable building of libbio-samtools-perl, which will soon be submitted to our archive.
After discussion on [email protected], several developers raised concerns about the security implications of building against static libraries. I therefore open this bug to prevent the migration of samtools to testing until a shared version of libbam is released, in order to avoid causing problems to the release and security teams.
