Currently media-libs/plib builds only static libs which makes it impossible to track ABI changes.
Created attachment 243333 [details, diff] patch to build shared libs
Created attachment 243335 [details, diff] plib-1.8.5 ebuild patch Some suggested ebuild improvements.
we shouldnt start generating shared libs until upstream starts doing it too if anything, moving from static to shared makes ABI management a lot harder. static libs match the exact API installed with the static libs.
Just FYI, patch was created by simple script http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/maintainers/autotools_force_shared_libs;hb=HEAD with some a manual effort to add missing link deps (based on equivalent Debian patch). If not for shared libs, please add pkg_postinst message warning that all packages depending on plib may need rebuilding (which applies to pretty much everything providing only static libs).
