Bugzilla Automation <bugzi...@freebsd.org> has asked freebsd-desktop (Team) <desk...@freebsd.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 278351: textproc/libxml2 no longer installs static library, and doesnt have a build option https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278351
--- Description --- Upgrades from 2024Q1 ports to 2024Q2 ports, and the upgraded libxml2 no longer installs the static library, which I require, unfortunately. I assumed all I had to do was go into the port and enable static, but the option seems to have gone away as well. Is there a reason for this (does static no longer work?) or is it simply an oversight, and can be added back ? An option to compile it locally with static would do, if theres a reason not to ship the static libraries as part of the package.
