I have said that before. |

Search for "pointless .la" and you'll find a bunch of reported bugs; I |
| 11 |
stopped mostly because of GNOME-related packages (which where the main |
| 12 |
cause of the bugs): |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- Tester refused fixing telepathy and the like altogether stating that |
| 15 |
it's an upstream issue; |
| 16 |
- leio stated that he didn't care about removing those that are simply |
| 17 |
pointless already because he wanted to do it in one big sweep, and the |
| 18 |
bugs I would report would just linger there indefinitely. |

And this is just a list I produced out of the current logs I have on the |
| 51 |
tinderbox (64-bit version) for the paths of the plugins I _know_ are not |
| 52 |
loaded through .la files… I think there are a few hundreds .la files in |
| 53 |
packages maintained by gnome alone that are not being used at all and |
| 54 |
could have been removed years ago (reducing the pressure of |
| 55 |
revdep-rebuild on broken .la files). |

find $(get_pammoddir) -name '*.la' -delete |
| 60 |
find /usr/$(get_libdir)/ruby -name '*.la' -delete |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Nothing fancy, just delete them ;) |
