Hi, I neglected to mention some things Manoj suggested I mention in the ammendment bug report for inclusion of `.la' files in `-dev' packages so here they are:
------------- Wording to go in to what is currently section 4.3 "Shared Libraries" in the policy manual (toward the end of the section): Libtool can make use of the meta-data contained in `.la' files. They are also essential for packages that use the libtool `libltdl' library. Any package that uses libtool to generated shared libraries will generate `.la' files. If your package generates libtool libraries, i.e. `.la' files, then you should include them in your library `-dev' package. ------------- Discussion Period: 2 weeks (from 8 May 1999 ending on 22 May 1999) ------------- Disagreements: None so far. Some have expressed "concerns," however. ------------- Thanks, -Ossama -- Ossama Othman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Center for Distributed Object Computing, Washington University, St. Louis 58 60 1A E8 7A 66 F4 44 74 9F 3C D4 EF BF 35 88 1024/8A04D15D 1998/08/26
