NSE would still have the ability to load shared Lua | modules, but it wouldn't provide any itself. In any case the shared | modules wouldn't work with a static build of Nmap. As long as nmap could still load dynamic modules this is fine with me. I am not using static nmap builds so I don't mind, but as the RPMs use ~ a static build people using RPMs might think differently.
Patrick Donnelly converted bit into a static module. There are no dynamic modules that are part of NSE any more. The nselib-bin directory is still there and any modules you put in it wil still get built, but not installed (part of the main makefile is commented out). Normally I would say get rid of the nselib-bin directory but Sven said it makes his work significantly easier. It's a shame dynamic modules have to go just because they don't work with static builds, because they work fine otherwise.
