Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2012-01-07 20:56:08 UTC
I think I don't have to point out the downsides of static package linkage. Please make it optional; not every user has separate /usr.

Feel free to commit if splash stuff still works for you
Comment 2 Andrew Savchenko gentoo-dev 2015-08-09 12:11:51 UTC
Any use case where splash utils can be used with dynamic linking?
Do not forget this package is supposed to be used at initrd stage.

Package removed.
