Almost - it has flaws. |
| 16 |
|

- From the depths of my memory I thinks this was mentioned before (gentoo-dev |
| 18 |
ages ago maybe). The main counter argument is that include headers and static |
| 19 |
libraries will not adequately forfill the dependency requirements of a lot of |
| 20 |
other packages. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Implementing this for binary packages only seems pretty safe to me until some |
| 23 |
person attempts an emerge on the server machine and finds the dependency |
| 24 |
header files and libraries are not present. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Saw the bug report. Probably a touch brief. I may attempt to spell out the |
| 27 |
requirements/ scope a bit more although maybe not today. Feel free to |
| 28 |
continue to express the scope on the bug report too (save portage peoples |
| 29 |
looking around as to where these requirements are coming from). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
In an embedded environment saving storage space is pretty essential however on |
| 32 |
a server surely there is a bit more space to storage space to play with. I |
| 33 |
counted 300MB worth of includes and static libs on mine which quite small |
| 34 |
comparted to the HDD size. Just my 2c (300MB) worth. |
