Yes, when I issued "replace" in an xterm I got the hint that replace was included in the mysql-server package. However, a mysql build dependency did not seem "right" to me. So now I installed mysql-server (with a slew of dependencies) and via the replace man page could analyze the pack_tiger.sh lin

I started this out as something to help with a project here before I shared it on the list. The replace utility is a quick thing I use that is on most systems. I have no issue with changing things for better compatibility and fewer dependencies. As for the missing installed size, I never got tha

The goal of a cross-compatible build isn't necessarily to eliminate all dependencies but to eliminate dependencies that aren't forward ABI compatible with the platform on which you build or which might not be readily available. I would say that the goal should be to produce similar dependencies
