I don't think it's completely useless, it is for the purpose of reducing Build-Depends, but those plugins/programs are linking against stuff they don't actually need, and those libraries are loaded w/o a reason. Reducing run-time "bloat" is good as well, I'm willing to fix those bugs on my packages and feed the fixes upstream! > Has this been fixed in the latest incantation? Please "fix" this by adding an additional mode/view, not replacing the current one. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
