Package: qt-x11-free
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

in this changelog entry you do not tell the reason why you don't provide static
libraries any longer:

qt-x11-free (3:3.1.1-2pre3v1) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * debian/rules: Don't provide static libraries any longer (Waiting for policy approval!)

Is it for space reasons ?

If so you could perhaps provide another package containing the static libraries
and users could choose to install it or not.

  qt is too big, and that does not makes any sense to provide static
libs for qt. It's also a question of place on the mirrors.

  static libs are needed when you want to take your version of a binary,
and put it on a machine that does not have your library installed. given
that qt is part of lsb now, I don't see any compulsatory reason to build
those.
