That's the main issue: Issuing packaging guidelines per package (groups) is wrong, some day some other package (group) will suddenly require the same handling and we're busted again. Or something different will come up, after all removing *.la diles is not an upstream action, but ours. E.g. what we're doing is papering over some issues we are creating and praying for not being caught by the next one. Makes me think whether what we think was fixed (a couple of dependencies less) was worth while, or whether we're just killing ourselves for being overzealous (which is not meant against Rex in any way, he's just trying to provide the best solution for the given situation). My proposal is to allow *.la files to live and kindly divert people crying too loud about it to assist upstream in fixing the issues. Don't forget that there are already patches for dealing with 95% of our issues available. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
