why is it that developers can't spend an extra moment or 2 tar/bz2'ing |
| 3 |
their patchsets and uploading them to the mirrors instead of including |
| 4 |
them where they are and making the portage tree bulge from the seams? |
| 5 |
there are patchsets that are currently in <pkgname>/files for packages |
| 6 |
that are only useful on a graphical workstation... for people that run |
| 7 |
servers, this seems like quite a bit of cruft. there are currently |
| 8 |
100,712 files in /usr/portage... does this seem a little ridiculous to |
| 9 |
anyone else? |
