Subject: [gentoo-dev] static-libs: change global USE flag description

4 static-libs - Build static libraries
5
6 This can be ambiguous as some packages (like SDL2 - after I apply the
7 necessary patch) have libraries that are not supposed to be dynamic at
8 all.
9
10 An alternative description would be:
11 static-libs - Build static versions of dynamic libraries as well
12
13 that makes clear that
14 a) it's about _additionally_ installing static libraries
15 and
16 b) there is a dynamic "counterpart" of that library
17
18 This is often a confusing topic for new ebuild writers. The
19 description might help with that too.
20
21 Are there any known exceptions that would need a local description
22 after this change?
