Description Rafał Mużyło 2023-03-11 12:37:18 UTC 
So, I've been wondering for quite awhile (not sure whether or not I've mentioned this in any of the relevant bugs I've filed in the past)...

Why exactly media-libs/alsa-lib and media-plugins/alsa-plugins remove static libs in the multilib_src_install_all, instead of doing the same thing overwhelming majority of other such packages do - simply passing '--disable-static' in src_configure and not building them in the first place ?

AFAICT, the later works just fine...

No idea, historical cruft I guess. EAPI 8 passes --disable-static by default anyway.

Of course, we have to keep the .la removal, but cleaned up now. Thanks.
