 Why has the static library been dropped?

I do not intend to provide static libraries anymore, here are a couple reasons:

 1. security: when a newer version of a library is released since the
last time binary packages were statically linked against it, they all
would need to be rebuilt from source. So, for instance, fixing bugs
affecting one library would take much more resources than rebuilding
just the library itself.

 2. reducing packages size.

You could rebuild the package on your own though, just do the following:

Re: status of Snd soundfile-editor in squeeze???

Hi Jim,

 After installation of the basic infrastructure (the snd package itself) you 
 need
 to install one of the user interface packages---snd-gtk-jack, snd-gtk-pulse, 
 or
 snd-gtk. The first builds in Jack support, the second builds in pulse-audio
 support, and the third (which I have always used) should just interface 
 directly
 with Alsa.

snd-gtk and snd-alsa are virtual packages provided by snd-gtk-{jack,pulse}.

 The upgrade process was quite fraught, because on startup, snd complained 
 about
 missing extension files and faulty load-paths. I got past those problems by
 removing a .snd_guile_prefs file in my home directory left there by the 
 previous
 version of the package.


Could you provide me a full detailed log? It would be useful in order
to collect more information about this issue.

  can't play: open read /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
              [audio.c[1825] linux_audio_open_with_error]

This needs investigation too. Which snd packages have you installed now?

 I notice that the version of snd-gtk available in the repositories is very old
 (7.18-2.2 0 from lenny, with no version at all in squeeze or sid)

[...]

As said above, it isn't a real binary package anymore, it's just
provided by both snd-gtk-pulse and snd-gtk-jack.
