I have some time right now to go through and fix things to not require .la files. However, I know nothing of the kde project so I need a little bit of advice. * Do you think this work would be appreciated upstream or accepted within the Fedora kde packages? * Can you help me figure out which packages I need to look into and how to test that the problems are gone once I patch them? If so I'll open up a bug in bugzilla.r.c where we can track this. P.S. For Chitlesh: The Packaging Committee has discussed this: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/LibtoolArchives but not yet passed it. The fact that kde apps need .la's is arguably a bug in upstream's code but I don't know whether we determined there was any negative's from allowing them when they were a part of a loadable module rather than a shared library. -Toshio
