Remove static libraries? #42
Comments
Do all Qt libraries have their static counterpart available? Or are they just this handful? In this case, I don't know if they provide any value and should be removed? I'm all in to remove them if you want |
Oddly enough. I don't think many (if any) had shared library counterparts. I can do a more thorough study |
It seems non of these static libraries have dynamic library counterparts: $ for f in $(ls *.a); do ls ${f%.a}*; done

Maybe they are needed to compile Qt-compatible binaries? I'm not sure, we need to check |
right. now i'm somewhat worried about just removing them. |
Comment:
I see a few static libraries being shipped with the qt-main package
They seem like they are about 7-10MB in size (total). Do we think it is appropriate to remove them? or do we expect to have to create a split package for this?
