Ahh, ok, that makes sense. >> [snip] > > Few years ago, we already had an idea about that. You can read it at > https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/CompiledPackages.

In some of my environments, it definitely is a concern. In one or two applications, I have limited disk size to work with but a lot of memory to otherwise operate on -- so these things being created at runtime isn't much issue, but having them on disk tends towards problematic. Given that this is not a very 'black or white' problem (as evident from the CompiledPackages wiki page), I will strip these entries from the pkg-plist myself for the time being and maybe work on finding time to assist in a better solution for the whole. _______________________________________________ freebsd-python@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-python To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-python-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
