[Solved] Can't figure out why $pkgdir is missing some files

So I am extracting a deb package. Then I copy some directories from $srcdir to $pkgdir.

Issue is that some files will not appear in copied directories. I did "diff" and this is what it shows:

$ diff -qr pkg/jellyfin-bin/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin src/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin
Only in src/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin: System.IO.Compression.Native.a
Only in src/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin: System.Native.a
Only in src/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin: System.Net.Http.Native.a
Only in src/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin: System.Net.Security.Native.a
Only in src/usr/lib/jellyfin/bin: System.Security.Cryptography.Native.OpenSsl.a

How is it possible that these files just don't want to get into $pkgdir? I assume this part of "makepkg" is causing it:

==> Tidying install...
  -> Removing libtool files...
  -> Purging unwanted files...
  -> Removing static library files...
  -> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries...
  -> Compressing man and info pages...
==> Checking for packaging issues...

But I can't find any documentation regarding what are these actions and what is being done under the hood.

Can anyone advise, please?

EDIT: Use this flag to keep *.a files in $pkgdir

options=('staticlibs')

Re: [Solved] Can't figure out why $pkgdir is missing some files

You have not included the PKGBUILD so others can recreate your issue.
Without that at a guess

  -> Removing static library files...

           staticlibs
               Leave static library (.a) files in packages. Specify
               !staticlibs to remove them (if they have a shared counterpart).

Did the removed static libraries have matching shared libraries?

Re: [Solved] Can't figure out why $pkgdir is missing some files

As I mentioned in my edit the package provides static and shared versions of those libraries.  If you want to keep the static version as well in the package specify staticlibs in the options array

options=(staticlibs)

Edit:
Posting at the same time,  glad the issue is solved.
