But if you want to use the program, you need tha data files, right?
Of course!
So why split them? I agree with you here; I see no point?? (but maybe
I am blind)
The argument is that in case of a wantlib change (e.g. libc bump),
you'll only have to download the small -main package, no all the -data.
imo that is micro-optimization at the wrong level. we increase complexity
for absolutely no real gain.
Hello!
My quake1 diff that simplified Makefile and removed multipackages was
rejected by Espie because even though the Makefile is complex it saves
couple of minutes build time from the build machines. If complexity is
okay for saving few minutes of build time then why not also save
bandwidth?
