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.
How do you deal with the security? It will be required for all ports that
depend on a port to be rebuild, so bump the PORTREVISION will be need. But
what about for non-static that don't need to be bump? A solution for that
might be need too.
I have no object with static build as long as it is flexible and optional
(disable/enable).
Cheers,
Mezz
