This packages installs also static libs ".a" please provide do add relative USE. TIA /usr/lib/libsysfs.a /usr/lib/libsysfs.so
Given what I've wrote about three years ago in bug 220347, does libsysfs still work ? Yes, I know net-misc/iputils use it, but it's not exactly a well maintained package (in regard of upstream, of course - it's been on IV for how long again ?).
No, it doesn't work, and is not supported, and I would be amazed if it even did anything anymore. So I'll just close this out as the whole package should be removed one day soon.
gregkh: removal of it isn't going to be easy, there are a lot of packages that depend on it. http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/sys-fs/sysfsutils

Should we open up a tracker bug to track the removal of the library from those packages?
