i missed this sentence from Michał's e-mail. unconditionally not building |
| 13 |
static libraries is against policy. if you install shared libs that get |
| 14 |
linked against, then you must provide static libraries unconditionally as well |
| 15 |
or support IUSE=static-libs. maintainers do not get to choose "no one has |
| 16 |
asked for it and no one in the tree is using it thus my ebuild isnt going to". |
