• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2012-03-21 10:29:53 UTC]

This package needs static-libs IUSE

test ~ # qlist ati-drivers | grep libfglrx_
/usr/lib64/libfglrx_dm.a
/usr/lib32/libfglrx_dm.a
/usr/lib64/libfglrx_dm.so.1.0
/usr/lib32/libfglrx_dm.so.1.0

Is that really needed? I mean you don't compile them, so it doesn't save time emerging without static libs, it just saves some KB space on the HD and 2 inodes. Moreover it add mess to the ebuild since the remove must be done manually.

This is just a suggestion indeed, if you really want this USE i will add it to ati-drivers-12.3. it should be near i hope. Eventually i can backport it if you wish.

no need to backport, should be good have it in next release

I'm not against this flag but I don't see the benefit in having one either.

If you absolutely don't want the static libs you can use INSTALL_MASK already today.

Oh well i added it. It is easy to remove if not needed anymore. Bumped to X11 overlay. Cheers
