> Do you feel the need for a new USE flag? There is already a "static" flag, and that's what it actually does for some packages (most gnome-related libs for instance). Side note: i'm not saying it's the perfect solution though, at least not until USE-deps get supported by portage... Imho, it's two different things to "statically compile an application" and to "also provide the static version of a library". If it was two separate flags, i would probably leave the first one off, but turn on the second, because i care less about the wasted space than about random compilation issues with packages who want libxml2.a or things like that. Sure with USE-deps it would be different since this packages could depend on "dev-libs/libxml2:+static" (or whatever syntax it will be). -- TGL. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
