not sure which part of the # comment inside the ebuild is unclear, lets quote:

# libltdl is used for loading plugins, keeping libtool files with empty
# dependency_libs what otherwise would be -exec rm -f {} +
find "${ED}" -name '*.la' -exec sed -i -e "/^dependency_libs/s:=.*:='':" {} +

so the files are required, and not harmful in anyway. what's the problem?
Comment 2 Sean McGovern 2012-08-28 16:38:40 UTC
Fair enough, I didn't look at the ebuild before filing this.

My apologies.
