            Bug ID: 965518
           Summary: zhcon package should be built with PIE flags
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 19
         Component: zhcon
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
          Assignee: dchen(a)redhat.com
          Reporter: dkholia(a)redhat.com

Description of problem:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#PIE says that "you MUST
enable the PIE compiler flags if your package has suid binaries...".

However, currently zhcon is not being built with PIE flags. This is a
clear violation of the packaging guidelines.
