            Bug ID: 278351
           Summary: textproc/libxml2 no longer installs static library,
                    and doesnt have a build option
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

Upgrades from 2024Q1 ports to 2024Q2 ports, and the upgraded libxml2 no longer
installs the static library, which I require, unfortunately. I assumed all I
had to do was go into the port and enable static, but the option seems to have
gone away as well.

Is there a reason for this (does static no longer work?) or is it simply an
oversight, and can be added back ? An option to compile it locally with static
would do, if theres a reason not to ship the static libraries as part of the
package.
