What about dual-tracking? You say a virtual works but getting it setup is |
| 13 |
slow. You say the profile option works but you don't want to use it due |
| 14 |
to bloat. So... what about kicking off the virtual process now, but put |
| 15 |
it in the profile temporarily as well, avoiding having to wait for the |
| 16 |
virtual process, with a comment on the profile entry reminding you to |
| 17 |
review it with an eye for removal if the virtual process is done, say for |
| 18 |
2006.0. |

After all, if it's not really required for what folks are doing and they |
| 21 |
don't want the bloat, they can package.provided it, as I've done with a |
| 22 |
couple things (I HAD to with sash, as I never COULD get the thing to |
| 23 |
compile here on amd64, for whatever reason, maybe it requires Linux |
| 24 |
Threads and I run nptl-only??? who knows?), so profile system entries |
| 25 |
don't make things ABSOLUTELY mandatory. |
| 26 |

Seems the reasonable thing to do, here, but then again, I'm likely missing |
| 28 |
something. |
