Hi I'm not sure that is really our policy? We package multiple binaries for packages that have them.
There is also a lot of crates on crates.io that have binaries that isn't really intended/ready for inclusion in a major linux distribution, and more written as a demo of what the library can do, those we tend to disable. //Alex Den lör 21 sep. 2024 kl 23:37 skrev Jonas Smedegaard <d...@jones.dk>: > > Quoting noisyc...@tutanota.com (2024-09-21 23:06:42) > > > If you never offered to maintain resvg then how did this conversation > > > emerge?
