Yes, I'm aware of the cost of bundling libraries. But if the alternative is not having the application available at all I'm _entirely_ okay with that cost, because in that scenario what the user notices is that Fedora is not usable. - ajax -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
