Created attachment 344096 [details] patch for a static build of nano
Comment on attachment 344096 [details] patch for a static build of nano you got closer to the right answer than most people, but this misses a few things ;) look at wget-1.14.ebuild as an example of how to handle this also, do not use EAPI=5. i'll allow EAPI=4 for now.
Hello Spanky, Just wanted to check if you need something more from me. Or, if you are incorporating the patch + your changes. Thanks Joe
(In reply to comment #3) i'm not working on it. i will eventually. but if you want to try your hand at doing it now, i'll happily review+merge your work.

changed EAPI from 5 to 4. I checked wget-1.14 and do not see much different from what is in the above attached patch. Thanks
Comment on attachment 344132 [details] nano 2.3.2 ebuild with static use flag please post a patch rather than a whole ebuild i cited the wget ebuild because your proposal isn't handling the cases the wget one is -- multiple libraries (file, ncurses, slang), and the nuances of RDEPEND vs DEPEND with the various static states there's no reason to blacklist USE=magic when USE=static
