https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980071 --- Comment #10 from Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx> --- > .la files Nobody seems to know why "libtool archives" are covered by the Static Library packaging guidelines section (as linked in comment 7). Those .la files cause more trouble during shared linking (-> extra inter-dependencies in generated .la files): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries Simply delete the .la files in the %buildroot. There are only few programs that use an old libtool dlopen method to load .la files at run-time instead of loading .so files. Python loads C based modules via the .so libs. > INSTALL files That's covered here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation | | Irrelevant documentation include build instructions, the omnipresent | INSTALL file containing generic build instructions, [...] Which means that if the INSTALL file is a copy of /usr/share/autoconf/INSTALL (as generated by Autoconf/Automake) or contains similar instructions referring to building from source code, that's pretty much uninteresting to users of Fedora's prebuilt RPM packages. The contents of such files have caused confusion before, so not packaging them is the better choice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
