What's the > gentoo policy on this? Isn't this actually a bug? Some people believe that IUSE=3Dstatic-libs should be always used, I think, and they consider that to be a Gentoo policy. I believe that this is pointless to add it to every single library noone will ever use as static. I do add them when it's simple (i.e. with autotools-utils) and I know the package is supposed to work when linked statically. Otherwise, I'd just wait for someone to request static-libs support, much like we don't keyword ahead. --=20 Best regards, Micha=C5=82 G=C3=B3rny --Sig_/jXvUbV54Z5PW2M=p.BXYLna Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iJwEAQEIAAYFAlA8fMwACgkQfXuS5UK5QB2/3QP9EE5wxBS2rupcigpA8aqzfeBF yqUFpU+aDtDeETf97lz++TTfE0bIU5rPnbCi1LrwLJOBe73I0BavzzbNe89MARMk G4XuNRsDXKrwgDEyC1kQNSVZxEC5fK/E2ptH3IQMhB3nSqUV6i6OBzPCnriBHuAn 09B5AuCg+h4NThgsEAo= =kYEH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/jXvUbV54Z5PW2M=p.BXYLna--
