[SOLVED] Question about "Don't ship .la files"
by 0XBF from LinuxQuestions.org on (#553SK)
I have browsed a few slackbuilds over the years and have noticed that slackbuild scripts for current have the "Don't ship .la files" bit that removes these files from the build directory before building the package.
Today I was poking around /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/ and I started noticing .la files. Then I entered the following bit and the result surprised me:
Code:cat /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/* | grep -c "\.la$"
1501Is anyone else seeing this?
My system was last upgraded around 2 weeks ago so its not too far behind the most recent current development. If you take the "-c" off grep it shows lots of files that are from recent slackware upgrades (within the last months).
I'm hoping that this is a silly question and that things are not borked here. I'm not sure what changed but this doesn't appear normal.
