Package: libfribidi-dev
Version: 0.19.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
In fribidi 0.19.4-1, ﺄﺤﻣﺩ ﺎﻠﻤﺤﻣﻭﺪﻳ (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) removed the static
library from the -dev package:
> * debian/libfribidi-dev.install: drop static library (upstream doesn't
> provide it anymore).
This came to my attention while investigating bugs involving pango1.0's
dependency on fribidi and how it is represented in pkg-config: the correct
solution to those bugs changes depending on whether fribidi supports static
linking or not.
I asked fribidi upstream on https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/issues/83
and they clarified that they had not intended to force shared-only
linking, but only to make development builds quicker by skipping the
static library by default. The static library can be requested by
passing the standard Libtool-provided option "--enable-static" to the
configure script.
Please consider bringing back the static library, unless you
specifically intend to forbid/de-support static linking to libfribidi
as a Debian-specific policy. I attach a patch that seems to work.
Thanks,
smcv
