Bug#586313: [new check] Check if package contains .la file
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi
(CC'ing Andreas because he was originally in a X-Debbugs-CC and Luk,
because he recently brought up a related thread up d-d@l.d.o)
I am seriously considering to apply part of this check; namely the part
that checks if the dependency_libs field is empty. The other part
(checking for a .la file itself) I am not really sure what to do about.
If this is important to you, I would probably split it into another
bug and tag that moreinfo until we have a reliable way to of knowing if
a .la file is redundant or not.
I believe this would be vastly better than status quo, where Lintian
does not have a check for either of these things! Especially now that
the dependency_libs is a possible blocker for Multi-Arch.
If I do not hear otherwise relatively soonish (and no one beats me to
it) I will clone this bug and implement the "dependency_libs" check.
