1 Hi,
2
3 Is there a special reason why precompiled dict files are needed for cracklib?
4 Wouldn't it be better if we just added a sys-libs/words ebuild that installs
5 word-files that are used by the cracklib installation to compile its own dict
6 files, instead of including precompiled dict files for all platforms?
