Why isn't this recorded in the RPM provides (and why is there no mention
of jemalloc in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries)? Are
there any other known cases outside Mozilla products? I found bug
788500 about unbundling jemalloc from redis.
If jemalloc would be its own package, we would probably use that for
nfs-ganesha too. Currently glibc/malloc is used, but jemalloc is well
tested by the nfs-ganesha community and could have some benefits. I have
not checked the sources of jemalloc, so I can not say if I would be
a suitable maintainer for it.
