Bug ID: 247430
Summary: Linux ports install too much
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Most of the linux-c7-* ports download too much:
a) both 64- and 32-bit RPMs;
b) Source RPMs.
There may be a use case for a), but it should be possible to not install 32-bit
Linux libraries on amd64. Indeed, it should, probably, be the default -- as it
is on the actual RHEL7/CentOS7 systems already.
The b) seems outright bizarre -- why? GPL compliance? But everything with a
linux-c7-* port on FreeBSD, that has sources publicly available, also has a
native FreeBSD port, which downloads those sources (in a format more convenient
than SRPM too).
Why waste so much space -- and bandwidth -- on these?
