No, raster's right. Using libtool basically forces us to install the *.a files with "make install," but if you look at the spec files for e, evas, etc., you'll see this: rm -f `find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/enlightenment -name "*.a" -print` I think you were confused about what "sample package files" meant.
