[blfs-dev] Python2 : static library ?

2016-02-10 Thread Ken Moffat
I noted that for Python-2.7.11 we do not mention libpython2.7.a :
not a big deal, but my script used to automatically remove that lib
at the end of the install.  I thought I had changed my script to rm
-v (so that I would get a confirmation in the log), but I forgot.

So, for the moment I am only 99% certain that this static lib still
gets installed.  If anybody can confirm its presence, I think we
ought to document it.

Yes, I have it, but it seems to be in an odd location:

/usr/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a

It is not installed:

$ porg -f python-2.7.11-1 | grep libpython2.7.a
/usr/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a


However I was instructed to only document under /usr/lib or /lib, and
had to remove the ones under a major depth, as in this case.

My script finds all of them, when I am searching libraries in the
DESTINODIR.

If you want to document, I am not against, but will defend my right to
do a big increase in the libraries listed in the book.

As you, and Bruce, noted - it isn't in /usr/lib and that should be
all that we care about.  For some reason I did not spot that when I
updated my script for 2.7.11, nor when I looked at it afterwards.

Personally, I continue to dispose of it (never trust Python progs
;-) but I agree we do not need to mention it in the book.

Sorry for the noise.
