The idea was to add it to FEATURES. Also, it would only prelink the |
| 7 |
specific package that you just installed, so it would not take quite so |
| 8 |
long. I still see tons of problems with that, especially in the form of |
| 9 |
prelinking libraries. A newer version of a library would not only |
| 10 |
require itself to be prelinked, but also any application which referred |
| 11 |
to that library. This is a slippery slope and is easily dealt with in |
| 12 |
binary distributions, but quite a bit harder to accomplish on a |
| 13 |
source-based distribution. |
