Re: [arch-dev-public] cleaning up unneeded static libraries?

Just add *.a to PURGE_TARGETS in makepkg.conf rather than manually removing them. Anyone who needs them can disable that.

(I will keep them in glibc/gcc/binutils...)

Nice solution. We should add *.a to the default PURGE_TARGETS in the next pacman release. Static libs will die out then pretty quick. Maybe after some time a ToDo list could clean the older packages then. -Andy
