Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-25 19:52:29 UTC
As it is paw currently installs two copies of itself, one with dynamic linking as per policy and one with static linking. While I appreciate that the static version might be faster, it should be conditional to the static USE flag, otherwise it can actually be quite a problem, when updates happen.
