Chad Jacob Milios <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #8 from Chad Jacob Milios <[email protected]> --- PING i would like to see this committed, but rather in the hard links form. the upstream discussion seems to indicate that to be the desirable solution, if only not for concerns of theirs irrelevant to us, concerns which we already avoid or rectify by inherent nature of ports and pkg (ive never seen Firefox self-update on freebsd. can it even try? would we ever want it to?) upstream seems to have given up or punted here, considers it a dead issue, yet we can and should do better; we dont have to support umpteen widely differing platforms. i understand and accept their stance. so pressing the issue upstream seems futile and misdirected perhaps in maintainer mode the port would also confirm they're identical, regular files before linking, warn otherwise, just in case upstream one day decides to act on this ancient bug wasting 760 KB of storage space for no applicable reason or loading two different but identical elf.text sections one right after the other, only to then quickly discard the first, is certainly a bug. please spare us the "my computer and yours each have a gazillion gigaquads anyway" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
