OK, I think I floated this idea a while back, but it was while I was |
| 5 |
trying that zany slotted perl ebuild stuff, and it never made it any |
| 6 |
further. Right now we have an ebuild for libperl to build a the shared |
| 7 |
library, and the in the regular perl ebuild we build a huge honking |
| 8 |
static perl. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I can see some of the rationale of this historically - on a fried box, a |
| 11 |
static perl will still run, whereas a dynamic one will be dead if |
| 12 |
/usr/lib is toasted. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
But seriously, do we really need to keep these separate? Wouldn't a |
| 15 |
(pseudo-ebuild syntax) IUSE="...static" and a if static? (myconf=$myconf |
| 16 |
- -Dstatic_option) else ( myconf=$myconf -Ddynamic_option) work? (yeah, |
| 17 |
that was really bad pseudo-ebuild code, you get the drift). |
