Package: kdelibs
Version: 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu natty ubuntu-patch

Hi folks,

The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu kdelibs package, to
null out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being shipped in
the -dev package.  This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing
consumers of your library to require other .la files listed here to be
available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the
dynamic linking common case).  It's specifically a good idea right now
because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced here
are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using libtool
to build against kdelibs.  As long as kdelibs is going to need a rebuild to
fix up the invalid .la references, it would be nice to get rid of them
altogether.

(Alternatively, since I guess kde3 libs are supposed to be dropped soon, you
might just let this go unfixed and become a FTBFS for reverse-deps?  Your
call...)

Thanks,

We (mostly ana) is working hard on getting kdelibs removed, so we will just 
close this for now. Latest rumors was 'next week' for kdelibs removal.
