I recently took over maintaining the mathematical (computational exact
linear algebra) library IML[1]. After a careful investigation, I’ve
concluded that nothing in Fedora currently requires the static version
of this library. Dependent packages linbox, sagemath, and Macaulay2 all
use the shared library.
Given this, and given the general rule that static libraries should not
be packaged in Fedora where it can be avoided, I plan to stop building
the static library, drop the iml-static subpackage, and Obsolete the
iml-static subpackage via the iml package—all in Rawhide only—assuming
nobody speaks up to tell me that I’ve missed a reason to keep it around.
