I've suggested in the past that we ship the userspace tools in a completely separate package, leaving ONLY kernel bits in the kernel SRPM and subpackages. Partly for this reason, and also because there is no NEED to build e.g. perf daily. I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is and do the maintenance on the userspace side if people want to pursue this. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
