[gentoo-dev] reminder: USE=static is *not* for libraries

just found another broken package that uses the 'static' USE flag to control 
generation of static libraries (aka libfoo.a)

this is very much wrong ... USE=static is only to control the static-ness of 
binaries ... if your package has an option to build shared and static 
libraries, then it had better be building both or you'll get smacked !

BTW: is there a way to control whether static libs should be
installed ?

`man make.conf` -> INSTALL_MASK

dont even think about filing a bug though when something breaks because it's 
missing static libs cause it'll just make me stab you

Mike,

I just filed bug #140776 for you because I masked out all shared
libraries and my system doesn't work. You only mentioned masking out
static libraries so I didn't mask those out.

Please consider this a serious issue and fix it ASAP.

Since when does a hal ebuild bug have anything to do with masked shared 
libraries?

He didn't say "use install masked to mask out shared libraries" he said
"use install mask to mask static libraries".

 F implies P does not mean P implies F :)
