Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-02-11 12:52:11 UTC 
We need to have USE=static-libs because this package install '.a' files:

/usr/lib64/libname-server-2.a
/usr/lib64/libORBit-2.a
/usr/lib64/libORBit-2.la
/usr/lib64/libORBit-2.so
/usr/lib64/libORBit-2.so.0
/usr/lib64/libORBit-2.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib64/libORBitCosNaming-2.a
/usr/lib64/libORBitCosNaming-2.la
/usr/lib64/libORBitCosNaming-2.so
/usr/lib64/libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0
/usr/lib64/libORBitCosNaming-2.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib64/libORBit-imodule-2.a
/usr/lib64/libORBit-imodule-2.la
/usr/lib64/libORBit-imodule-2.so
/usr/lib64/libORBit-imodule-2.so.0
/usr/lib64/libORBit-imodule-2.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ORBit-2.0.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ORBit-CosNaming-2.0.pc

Comment 1 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2013-02-11 13:11:41 UTC 
This is a deprecated library we hope to get rid of once all less active upstreams have converted to other ways (such as D-Bus in case of pure IPC usages) and I don't think we really have any interest in doing such changes to it.
I guess we could just kill all .a and .la and hope for the best though, and if anything breaks, laugh and suggest to last-rite the using package if it's ~arch needs it too.
Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-12 06:55:13 UTC 
Fixed in orbit-2.14.19-r2. Hopefully this won't break too much of gnome2.
