Hi,

I'm maintainer of 'perl-extutils-f77' package [1]. After 'unneeded' static libraries were removed from 'gcc-fortran' [2] my package has stopped passing 'check' stage. The reason is that 'perl-extutils-f77' searches exclusively static libraries. Please, advice me what is the right thing to do:

1. Ask 'gcc-fortran' maintainer to restore static libraries.

2. Patch 'perl-extutils-f77' to search dynamic libraries also. The

advantage of this method is that all other packages depending on 'perl-extutils-f77' will work without modifications.

3. ExtUtils::F77 respects F77LIBS environment variable to override

gfortan flags. And here I see two possibilities:

• Add F77LIBS to profile.d. Here I don't know how to apply this new

variably upon package installation.

• Add F77LIBS to every package that depends on 'perl-extutils-f77'.

Quick and dirty.

I'll appreciate any advice.
