[Mageia-discuss] Removing .la files?

[Reinout van Schouwen]

Hi,

In the "build it yourself instructions" for Gnome 3, it says that
Mandriva users need to remove .la files first:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/RemovingLaFiles

Apparently this is also the case for Mageia. Debian has made it a
release goal to remove .la files:
http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval

So, if they're mostly causing trouble, are there any reasons to keep
.la files in Mageia?
