Hi, |

To enable the USE flags 'static' and 'static-libs' sometimes one needs |
| 4 |
to have all of the dependencies (and maybe there dependencies) linked |
| 5 |
statically too. In this regard the 'static' use-flag is very different |
| 6 |
from other use-flags in terms of its consequences and requirements. |
| 7 |
What is the policy for ebuilds: Should they USE-depend on their |
| 8 |
dependencies being built with static too? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
If yes, there are cases where this falls short. How would one handle |
| 11 |
e.g. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341983 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
app-backup/bacula needs a static glibc further down the dep chain. |
| 14 |
Seems like out of pm's control? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Has this been discussed on gentoo-dev earlier? Being new to devhood, |
| 17 |
I'm looking for references. |
