We need to have USE=static-libs because this package install '.a' files: usr/lib/libUTF8Strings-1.so usr/lib/libUTF8Strings-1.a
Created attachment 339722 [details] Solved issues About .a files. I've inspected /usr/lib* directories and found that .a is very rare also I found that static linking is not popular and many users cancels .a files installing. So I have removed .a files building. Also new package installs with FEATURES="multilib-strict" correctly. Also I have a question. If source is changed and the last version is 0.12.0 how can it be 0.9 now? Can I just produce 0.12.1 with fixed bugs and stabilize it? Or I need to stabilize 0.1 too?
Please push the 0.12.1 and we will stabilize that version
+ 22 Feb 2013; Tom Wijsman <TomWij@gentoo.org> +UTF8Strings-1.12.1.ebuild, + UTF8Strings-1.12.0.ebuild, UTF8Strings-1.9.ebuild: + Version bump to 1.12.1 by Gorelov Grigory which supports multilib-strict, + removes .a files and is now EAPI=5. Fixes bug #458748 and #458750. We can proceed stabilization now, I'll adjust the bug to stabilize 0.12.1 instead. > If source is changed and the last version is 0.12.0 how can it be 0.9 now? I'm not completely sure what you mean by that, but usually we try to keep multiple versions around so people can choose between them. For stabilization, versions which are longer in Portage and known to not have problems are considered first instead of newer and possibly more buggy versions. Because we prefer to keep a buffer between stable and testing I've suggested to do 0.9 before; but since you had to fix some things we can move on to stabilizing 0.12.1 such that you don't have to port the fixes back, as 0.12.0 has been in Portage for long enough and this only introduces some minor fixes this should be possible to do. The arch teams agreed with that.
