There is a new pull request by sgn against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/sgn/void-packages sword-shared-lib https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/28557 sword build shared lib @fosslinux Please help to check. I'm not sure if build shared lib is the right choice. However, this will remove shlibs-requires from bibletime to icu, thus reduce the number of rebuild when updating icu. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/28557.patch is attached
