Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-06-09 11:59:46 UTC
I'm reporting this bug because your package is currently using static linking on at least part of the files it installs:



Now, while there are packages for which the static linking is mandatory, if it's just that it's desired, you should make it optional via USE flag default for +static with EAPI=1.

Static linking _may_ be a security issue, thus shouldn't be forced on. If your package is actually a prebuilt or proprietary package, you should install in /opt instead.
