| Hi all - |

| I am back from vacation for now :) I will be gone again come Friday, but |
| 7 |
| will be back in full force Tuesday. Of course, if there are any urgent |
| 8 |

| Ok, on to the real issue. Do we really need to build GRP for all |
| 11 |
| subarches of x86? I am pondering nixing all of the subarches except x86 |
| 12 |
| and i686. Doing so would save infra space on the mirrors and beejay some |
| 13 |
| build time ;) No other arch offers all of their subarches, so why does |
| 14 |
| x86? If there are no compelling reasons to not drop the other subarches, |
| 15 |
| I will bring this up before #-dev and try to get some user input. Thanks |
| 16 |
| in advance for your commentary ;) |

K, time to chime in... Since I'm amd64 (and there's no subarch), I don't |
| 21 |
really have much to do with this decision. But here are my thoughts for |
| 22 |
x86. I think i386, i686 and *athlon* are the three subarches that |
| 23 |
should be supported for x86. athlon would cover the original athlon, |
| 24 |
athlon-xp and athlon-mp. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
But I like the idea of supporting the faster arches with a smaller GRP |
| 27 |
set. Perhaps support them with just the following: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
OpenOffice |
| 30 |
KDE |
| 31 |
Gnome |
| 32 |
Firefox |
| 33 |
Thunderbird |
| 34 |
Evolution |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Those apps probably cover 90% of user's needs. You might throw KOffice |
| 37 |
or Mozilla in there as well, but the idea isn't to give them a |
| 38 |
/complete/ system, just a /usable/ system until they finish compiling |
| 39 |
the remainder of their apps. And Mozilla is a relatively quick compile |
| 40 |
on high-end machines any (30 minutes on a low-end amd64). |
