Then you're in for trouble as we try to remove static libraries where we can.

That's nice and all for most users. But, so is Windows, and McDonalds, etc... (ie: "most users" is not any sort of valid argument) There should be a relatively simple way to have them if you want them, just as there is for source, headers/includes, debugging, and profiling versions of things, all of which are exactly the same sort of things ordinary users do not need or want. They aren't simply gon, or only available by starting from source, they are in optional add-on packages that can be easily selected for install by anyone that wants them. It's no ones place to tell anyone else "You don't need static libraries." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
