Description of problem: I tired to enter the configuration dialog, but it fails, and instead a message appears saying: The specified library basket could not be found. ... The diagnostics is: Library files for "kcm_basket.la" not found in paths. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): basket-1.0.3.1-2.fc10.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start basket 2. go to the configuration dialog Actual results: the message displayed above Expected results: The complete configuration dialog Additional info: yum provides *kmc_basket.la* shows that two versions ago the was the mentioned file.
confirmed. Looks like over-agressive .la file pruning.
Fwiw, confirmed broken on F-8 too.
Fixed in cvs (all relevant branches), built for rawhide. I'll leave it to basket maintainer(s) to decide when/if to build and issue updates.
Hi Rex, thanks for fixing it in CVS. I'll push the update shortly. I was working on this last night as I was doing a rawhide update that hosed my system. :D I left off looking at the guidelines last night, which says we should remove all *.la files. In instances like this, I assume it's ok to include them? I was also talking to someone in #fedora-devel last night who was saying the need for the *.la file could be removed in the source code.
The guideline: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries doesn't go as far as saying packagers MUST remove *all* .la files. In short, remove them if able. In this case, kde3 loadable modules pretty much require them. We've tried various ways to "fix" that locally in fedora, with not much success. And upstream kde, for the most part, considers it NOTABUG, partly because kde3 is frozen/legacy stuff by now, and best not to be mucking with it too much (especially at low-levels such as loadable modules).
