Details

Description: On i686, libvorbis installs three .la files. Its PKGBUILD doesn't specify options=(libtool). I'm told these files aren't installed on x86_64. If they're not needed, shouldn't they be removed? If they are needed, shouldn't the PKGBUILD specify options=(libtool...), in case the user changes the /etc/makepkg.conf default to !libtool?

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  The .la files are removed in 1.2.1rc1-2. I pushed it into testing because I have no overview of what .la files are including this one yet.

[jan@jan ~]$ pacman -Ql libvorbis | grep la
[jan@jan ~]$

Hmm, this was on x86_64... it's weird to see any difference between architectures, as both are built from the same PKGBUILD.

On my machine (i686), pacman -Ql libvorbis | grep la yields:
libvorbis /usr/lib/libvorbis.la
libvorbis /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.la
libvorbis /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.la

The .la files are present here too.
