Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2011-09-24 22:46:39 UTC
From qlist -e $package:


/usr/lib64/libxenctrl.a
/usr/lib64/libxenguest.a
/usr/lib64/libflask.a
/usr/lib64/libxenstore.a
/usr/lib64/libblktap.a
/usr/lib64/libxenapi.a

If those static-libs are not needed, you can directly choise to remove them without add the USE flag

Comment 5 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-02 13:10:58 UTC
Have made a xen-tools-4.1.2-r3.ebuild, available in virtualisation overlay or is it virtualiztion
Comment 6 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-09 04:45:58 UTC
The presence of static libs is not a pressing concern.  It is 'too hard' to prevent the build of static libs in various Makefiles. use INSTALL_MASK if you don't want the .a files

poke upstream should be a good idea then.
