Every one of our posts that uses the new libtool monstrosity installs, along with the libraries, at least one (and sometimes several) files ending with .la. These are useless ascii files that clutter up the library directories with no use to life other than to obscure listings of your libs (when you're trying to find "real" libs). How about changing portlint to where it catches any installed filename starting in "lib" and ending in ".la" and complains that the file should be manually 'terminated with extreme prejudice'? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
