### Static libraries ### Shared vs. static libraries
In general, formulae should not ship static libraries since these cannot be updated without a rebuild of the dependant software. In general, if formulae have to ship either shared or static libraries: they should ship shared ones.
If a formula gets a lot of requests to install static libraries, they may be installed by the formula. If they can ship both, they should.
Applications in homebrew/core linking against libraries should link against shared libraries not static versions. Shipping only static libraries should be avoided when possible, particularly when the formulae is depended on by other formulae since these dependents cannot be updated without a rebuild.
