But the Qt maintainers do not want to attempt shipping shared libraries for those libraries where upstream does not support it. That is why some packages BuildRequire qt5-qtbase-static. > BuildRequires: qt5-qttools*-static* Similar situation here, libQt5UiTools.a is only static. > BuildRequires: eigen3*-static* This is not really a static library, it is a headers-only library. The reviewers insisted on the package being called eigen3-static rather than the eigen3-devel name that was used in the past (for eigen-devel, eigen2-devel). But its "staticness" is really not very different from that of ANY C++ library that contains templates and/or inlines, even shared libraries (such as Qt). The only difference is that in Eigen's case there is ONLY the template and inline code.
