I'm not sure what the official stance is, but in my opinion, since neon defaults to installing the file, and thus other packages that depend on neon (like subversion, and perhaps others) come to expect it, there doesn't seem to be any reason not to install the .la file. I mean it's not like having it there will keep you from linking directly against the .a or .so files if you want to, it just provides another option for other packages, and reduces the number of FreeBSD specific changes we have to introduce in ports. -garrett -- garrett rooney Unix was not designed to stop you from rooneg@electricjellyfish.net doing stupid things, because that would http://electricjellyfish.net/ stop you from doing clever things.
