 libnet10-1.0.2a-17.fc11 should be tagged into dist-f11: That build enables
 the shared library of libnet10 and removes the static library. As dynamic
 libraries always should be preferred, I would like to see that package
 tagged into dist-f11 for final.

 Currently only one package (snort) statically links against libnet10, that
 package could be also made dynamically linking if we do a buildroot
 override and also tag that snort build into dist-f11. That would be the
 perfect case.

 But another package (sing) is currently in review and I would like to see
 that package already dynamically linked against libnet10 - even if sing
 has to go its way into Fedora via Bodhi (I assume, newpackage is no reason
 for breaking freeze as well?).

 Libnet10 code is still the same, just build with a shared library. Snort
 on Rawhide is already build against dynamic libnet10 and seems to work so
 far. Sing works also as expected with dynamic libnet10 linking in my test
 environment.

 If package doesn't get tagged into dist-f11, snort will be static linked
 and I have to push libnet10 via Bodhi and afterwards sing. Because of less
 package dependencies there should be less risk or issues when doing the
 tagging now. It just lowers the zero-day updates.
