--- Comment #2 from daniel.engberg.lists@pyret.net ---
We already have many packages only providing shared libraries especially si=
nce
many are moving away or have already made the transition from GNU Autools w=
here
static libraries cases aren't enabled by default or for instance aren't
supported without building the project twice (quite common for CMake projec=
ts
in that regard  as an example). Shared libraries are also the main target
regarding compatibility between ports and additionally this seems to be the
common practice among other distributions (most provide a separate
"sub"-package if any at all for static libraries). It's also been discussed=
 in
#bsdports by several members and the general opinion each time is that they
shouldn't be shipped at all or at least not by default. I'm also guessing t=
hat
it has been a topic for quite some time given it's in Mk/bsd.options.desc.mk
:-)
