Description Kacper Kowalik (Xarthisius) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-12-26 21:25:49 UTC
Is there any particular reason besides confusion for:

  16 Aug 2008; Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> e2fsprogs-1.41.0.ebuild:
  Drop USE=static since it just confuses people #232115 #178718.

I could really use e2fsck.static, I'm willing to write a patch if there are no contraindications.
