My proposal would be to include a special task or a

do_install or in special do_install_append
parts, but I think it would be better to handle this globally.
I guess the ideal solution would be to find a way to stop libtool from
installing these things in the first place. It isn't totally obvious to
me that the .la files are a net benefit even for real shared libraries,
and for plugins I think they are probably a net loss in most/all cases.
I also have this opinion. I think we need to experiment by not
installing .la at all and see what breaks. I would guess very little
When this issue last came up it seemed that Richard's preferred fix was
to just ship the .la files in FILES_${PN}-dev, and I guess that approach
does at least have the merit of simplicity. See:
