[Bug 2012437] Re: Ship a static libsystemd.a

[Nick Rosbrook]

Thanks for preparing this patch, Serge. I have converted it into a git
commit and will make sure it is in the next upload of systemd. I will
also forward this to Debian, since this is something they will want too.

Title:
  Ship a static libsystemd.a

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  More and more things are requiring linking against libsystemd.  In
  particular, because dbus is now linked against libsystemd, anything
  that wants to make a dbus client call needs it.  By not shipping a
  static libsystemd.a, all such users are prevented from building
  statically.  This includes tools like the lxc-init container init, and
  stacker container build tool, which both want to be re-execed inside a
  container which may have completely different - or no - distro.

  With the attached debdiff, libsystemd-dev ships a libsystem.a so tools
  can be built statically.

  The package has been built (for lunar) with this debdiff at ppa:serge-
  hallyn/systemd.
