This should be ${EXTENDPKGV}, right?
It should.
I'm also not 100% convinced I like "-staticlibs" vs "-staticdev" as it
doesn't feel consistent.
The user gets exposed to these at the package manager level and will
"xxx install xxx-staticX". The end result they'll get will be the
installation of everything they need for static development (i.e. the
-dev packages will get pulled in for the headers). This means they don't
just result in the static libs as there are dependencies there. From the
user perspective they are therefore packages for static development, not
just the static libraries...
Richard,
I agree that they are for development and that by their nature they have
a dependency on the Development packages, but they contain libs only,
not all the development headers or tools, I think its therefore
mis-leading to call the package staticdev since they do not contain all
the development bits (they might depend on all the bits). It's a subtle
but important distinction.
As was pointed out earlier Fedora packages static libraries in a
"-static" package, but this had other implications for OE due to -static
already being in use (for busybox and mplayer), I am not sure that this
is not a problem for OE-Core, I would need to investigate. Meego also
seems to use the Fedora standard with "-static".
I still believe that -staticlibs is a better identifier for these packages.
Sau!
Cheers,
Richard
