Hello,
I have managed to switch rdkit to static-only libraries in branch
'switch-to-static' on Salsa. The package is uploaded to experimental for
trying it out. Most of the packages depending on python3-rdkit rebuild
as before. Only two packages declare dependency on librdkit-dev: coot
and votca. The latter, src:votca, does not seem to need this dependency
in first place (#1149310), but there are problems with src:coot which
fails by complaining about faulty rdkit-targets.cmake. This is most
likely true as I did not inspect the installed *.cmake definitions -
will do it when I have time.
I would like to ask the co-maintainers to review the resulting package
in experimental. Are my changes OK, does the package look maintainable?
I had to patch the buildsystem a bit to statically link python wrappers,
but the patch is rather small.
Best,
Andrius
