Hi!
I just have an idea that may be useful: static port builds. This can
help produce packages without any depends, which may be useful
sometimes.
Implementation seem pretty straightfoward to me:
- Introduce STATIC_BUILD variable that changes usual build behavior
- Process LIB_DEPENDS in a different way: check .a instead of .so.*, and
fail if .a is missing, and .so is present (i.e. needed static lib is not
available at all), don't add library ports to package depends
- Add -static to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS
Any comments? I will try to experiment with this for now.
This will bloat binaries by a large degree.
However, it's nice for some cases (such as bash), where static would
allow bash to function in single user mode, unless /usr/local/bin wasn't
mountable.
