  • [gentoo-dev] I have a question about dependent packages.

    From TrakRailySurely@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 11 01:50:01 2023
    Hello Everyone.

    When one package has another library that only depends on that package,
    should that library be statically linked?
    For example, the library aws-crt-cpp on which aws-sdk-cpp depends.
    This package only depends on aws-sdk-cpp.

    Dynamic linking is preferred in Gentoo. https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2021/02/19/the-modern-packagers-security-nightmare/
