Hi, Both objdump and readelf handles ".a" files by giving a dump per ".o" file in the ar archive (only tested on /usr/lib/libgettextpo.a). We could look for the .note and .comment sections for those and give a "not properly stripped" tag. However, I doubt that L::Collect and checks/binaries "DTRT" if handed the objdump/readelf output for a ".a" file. So some work is probably needed. ~Niels PS: Not subscribed to the bug or d-policy bugs, so please CC as needed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
