There are still .la files on my system! :o

:shock:

Are these ones necessary, or were they missed?

Snowman · 2005-10-02 20:03:06

Well, KDE needs .la files to work. So maybe these are necessary too.

neotuli · 2005-10-04 03:38:16

shadow was slayed today, heh, it wasn't exactly a 100% thing guys.

and to that I should probably add that there are less than a half handfull of packages that still have la's that shouldnt, we know which, and they'll die, don't worry

Theoden · 2005-10-04 03:41:50

This really is getting foolish. I have .la files on my system too. But no one seems to know what or what not to do with them. It's kinda assinine.

Gullible Jones · 2005-10-04 03:43:04

Hey, let the devs do their work... These stragglers will disappear too, in due time.

neotuli · 2005-10-04 03:43:26

It is also asinine to spell "asinine" wrong, just to point out the irony there :-P

SASL uses .la files to load authentication modules

db /usr/lib/libdb-4.3.la
db /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.3.la
DB was left in because fedora and FreeBSD do so too

gnome-applets /opt/gnome/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.la
Try to cat it, you'll see it's not a libtool file

gnutls /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.la
gnutls /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.la
gnutls /usr/lib/libgnutls.la
GnuTLS was preserved too, same reason as DB

gst-plugins-hermes /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgsthermescolorspace.la
hermes /usr/lib/libHermes.la
Hermes doesn't build with gcc4, no package in the repos that use it -> exit hermes

libtool /usr/lib/libltdl.la
Gosh, why would you slay libtool

shadow /lib/libshadow.la
According to documentation, this lib is never used, I didn't touch the whole package to be sure not to break something

sudo /usr/libexec/sudo_noexec.la
It's not a lib, so I didn't see reason to slay it.

Ah... Thanks for the info. 8)
