Hello! I think flameeyes should have sent this himself in the first place, but since he's clearly not going to do that and prefers to just force it on 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 in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218286 and its dupes. This is annoying for quite a few users as they will have to rebuild lots of stuff for KDE, Gnome and other packages and I'm not sure if this is really the way we want to fix --as-needed failures. Furthermore, such things should not be decided and pushed through unilaterally but be agreed upon here prior to doing this change. Especially since even though removing .la files might make sense (with exceptions, of course) we should think about either doing it distribution-wide or not at all. -- Best regards, Wulf
