If the corresponding package spec files don't tell why these .la files are included, opening bugzilla tickets about these would be the thing to do. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
