Nope, it would only solve the common case. It is perfectly possible for a dynamic library to depend on a static-only library. And it's even possible to create other dynamic libraries out of that, if the static-only library is PIC or the platform can handle non-PIC in dynamic libraries. > If so the patch looks almost trivial and is far better than to setup > workflows on whether removing some *.la files and still have some > false positives/negatives. Breaking the libtool sources that get installed for packagers all over the world to use, for deployment on various operating systems, is not really an option I'd recommend. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Secretary for FSF Latin America http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
