regarding Re:
[csw-maintainers] Handling of devel package splits:
That would result in certain packages quadrupling in size, I think.
Mostly this is to do with the libfoo.a splitout.
Why do we ship static libs at all?
(Excepting a few obvious cases, gcc)
Because there are some cases where you need it.
Perls DynaLoader.a for FFI comes to my mind which bit us lately.
But you are right: Usually static libs should be avoided even
in devel packages. GAR already excludes them by default for all
packages.
