1 So we are now a year later,
2
3 some people are getting excited at getting rid of .la files again but no
4 decent solution has been presented yet that I am aware of. We've had two
5 situations recently:
6 * https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264249 which got
7 reverted
8 * https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266016 which author of
9 the change don't want to revert
10
11 My questions are simple:
12 * do we have a plan ? I mean something real, not people doing
13 stuff in their "territory" or "lonewolves".
14 * do we want to *harm* our users base by changing this starting
15 from low level libs ?
16
17 ok maybe that's rhetoric questions but I can't help it.
