I think it would help a lot to have a rpmlint warning about that. This way, we'll make sure we won't introduce new .la files again in the future. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There might be a good reason, I just don't know it.

I would just reject such requests. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
