I'm sure this has been proposed before, but I'd like to know reason why it
isn't being done.
Why not introduce a variable, say DONT_REMOVE_LA_STUFF and change Phils patch
to :
# remove libtool files
if [ "$DONT_REMOVE_LA_STUFF" = "0" ]; then
msg "Skipping .la removal."
else
msg "Removing libtool files..."
find pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm {} \;
fi
And then specify in the KDE packages DONT_REMOVE_LA_STUFF=1. This makes it
very explicit what is happening (instead of omitting the find pkg... line),
and places the work on the non conforming packages instead on all the other
ones.
But now that the devs already have rebuild 80% of the packages it probably is
a bit late for this... I'm just curious.
