You arguing that 40MB is nothing on modern systems (which, by the way is not |
| 17 |
exactly true, talking about embedded ones). |
| 18 |
So, I guess, it means, that you have modern powerfull hardware, which is |
| 19 |
pretty fine with some overheads. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Then why do you need "simple" manpage formatter? Why don't use all of that |
| 22 |
complicated ones (man-db, vim's Man.vim, whatever) instead? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
P.S.: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And actually, why calling external unpacker is so complicated? Almost any |
| 27 |
programming language I know, has functions identical to C's system()... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
P.P.S: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Do you fully understand, that you asking to change "defaults", that will |
| 32 |
affect tons of users (which are happy with current "defaults") because yours |
| 33 |
only own local problems (not having root access on the system)? |
