Is Manuel still participating at Debian or one shouldn't count on him? Andrey P.S. It's a little bit curious, that while golang (a modern development) is static based, OpenSuse threw (allmost?) all static libraries away. Hope, Debian wouldn't do this. It's not often, when they are needed, but when, it's nice to have them. By the way, e.g. GLib being a shared library behaves like a static one regarding dynamic loading. Once loaded it can't be unloaded and loaded again without leaking memory. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
