Subject: [gentoo-dev] Removing .la files

1 Hi folks,
2

4 I'm doing some investigation on which .la files are still needed
5 and which are not. In general, .la files only are in use by very
6 few packages which use them to load plugins (I've seen no package
7 which actually requires them for compile-time importing in
8 production).
9
10 For net-im/pidgin (and its various plugins) I can now confirm
11 that .la files are not needed here, so we could remove them here.
12
13 I'll check more packages on that.

16 BTW: is there a way to teach revdep-rebuild to ignore .la files ?
