$summary Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =media-sound/sox-14.4.0 2. see /usr/lib/libsox.la being installed. Actual Results: /usr/lib/libsox.la is installed. Expected Results: /usr/lib/libsox.la should not be installed.
not sure which part of the # comment inside the ebuild is unclear, lets quote: # libltdl is used for loading plugins, keeping libtool files with empty # dependency_libs what otherwise would be -exec rm -f {} + find "${ED}" -name '*.la' -exec sed -i -e "/^dependency_libs/s:=.*:='':" {} + so the files are required, and not harmful in anyway. what's the problem?
Fair enough, I didn't look at the ebuild before filing this. My apologies.
