Description Karl H 2014-05-11 13:03:45 UTC

systemd installs several libaries that i would like to statically link against
Currently static versions of the libraries are not installed.

/usr/lib/libudev.*
/usr/lib/libgudev.*
/usr/lib/libsystemd*

Reproducible: Always

upstream of systemd does not support static linking:

$ grep -i static configure.ac 
LT_INIT([disable-static])
AS_IF([test "x$enable_static" = "xyes"], [AC_MSG_ERROR([--enable-static is not supported by systemd])])

we make an exception of building libudev.a within sys-fs/{udev,eudev} but it's not useful setup for systemd, so it's purposely skipped, reassigning to systemd@ so they can close this themself
