Hi all, I'm doing a couple of Merge Reviews for apr[1] and apr-util[2] and there seems to be an issue over the inclusion of the .la files in the apr-devel and apr-util-devel rpms. According to the Review Guidelines .la files are NOT allowed, but I have been informed via the bugzilla tickets that the .la files in these packages are required and cannot be removed. I do not have enough insight on libtool archives to render a decision here, so from my perspective, it appears that one of two things must happen: 1) There needs to be a clarification in the Review Guidelines regarding .la files that there are rare(?) instances where .la files are required and either list them or bring them up on a case-by-case basis to this list. 2) There is a misunderstanding from the packagers perspective on this issue. I'm initially assuming that the former is the correct approach here and just want to get confirmation from the list, as I'm probably newer than most at this process. enjoy, -jeremy [1] - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225253 [2] - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225254 -- ======================================================================== Jeremy Hinegardner jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
