Hi Peter,

I cannot recollect precisely if we already had this discussion. Phil and
me, we had an exchange on this subject and I would like to have the
opinion of the other fellow maintainers as our point of view are not
totally convergent.

The questions are:

1. Is a good practice for CSW packages to contain library archives of
  the form lib*.a when we deliver dynamic libraries lib*.so ?

2. What's the potential usage for such libraries?

3. Which mechanism do you use for not building (e.g. ./configure
--disable-static) or to post-install (in the sense of after make install)
  remove them.

You can skip the build like you described. Additionally, GAR skips static
libraries per default during the merge phase (copying stuff from the
install-*/ to pkgroot/). If you want static libs you must set
  MERGE_EXCLUDE_STATICLIBS =      (nothing)
The use of special rules is discouraged.


Best regards
