That's really weird!
A lot of these things (find, grep, tar, cpio, gzip, a-plethora-of-others) should likely be always installed, since the "disk space" penalty is low, and they are such *basic* utilities that they should always (IMNSHO) get installed. A problem with the traditional dependency model for things like utility commands is that it's hard to describe the dependency graph of the "uber application", which is the end-user (or in this case, developer) themselves :-) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
