I think flameeyes should have sent this himself in the first place, but=20 since he's clearly not going to do that and prefers to just force it on=20 our users I'm mailing this... flameeyes talked about .la files in his blog recently: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/articles/2008/04/14/what-about-those-la-files Now he decided that simply removing them for several packages, resulting=20 in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D218286 and its dupes. This is annoying for quite a few users as they will have to rebuild lots=20 of stuff for KDE, Gnome and other packages and I'm not sure if this is=20 really the way we want to fix --as-needed failures. =46urthermore, such things should not be decided and pushed through=20 unilaterally but be agreed upon here prior to doing this change.=20 Especially since even though removing .la files might make sense (with=20 exceptions, of course) we should think about either doing it=20 distribution-wide or not at all. =2D-=20 Best regards, Wulf --nextPart1847877.VfjsIMh8Xe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkgKPvIACgkQnuVXRcSi+5qd7wCgrz1WFVJ0dWr3ZT96z2/CTEN3 1JwAn3ipLRXJqzI/I8wXNSPmNWM23JDu =MVul -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1847877.VfjsIMh8Xe-- -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
