Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-08-08 09:07:33 UTC 
There is a static USE but a static-libs is installed also with USE="-static"

/usr/lib/libbz2.a
/usr/lib/libbz2.so

Because static != static-libs

USE=static means "build a statically linked bzip2 command" (which requires static-libs of course).

I know; I meant, if the static libs ( /usr/lib/libbz2.a in this case )is not needed when the USE="static" is not active, can be deleted without create another USEFLAG.

If the library needs also with USE="-static" please close as INVALID.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-08-12 21:42:46 UTC 
i needed this anyways, so bzip2-1.0.6-r3 now has USE=static-libs

in general, it's better to actually post patches than just mass request ...
