12 Please do not lafilefixer without restricting the scope of the changes
13 it does to libGL.la specifically. It changes md5sum of installed files
14 (which then does not match what is recorded by portage at install), it
15 will also potentially hide bugs from packages dropping la files without
16 a word (and this is bad pratice/communication too which should get
17 reported).
