https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247430 Bug ID: 247430 Summary: Linux ports install too much Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: emulation@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org Most of the linux-c7-* ports download too much: a) both 64- and 32-bit RPMs; b) Source RPMs. There may be a use case for a), but it should be possible to not install 32= -bit Linux libraries on amd64. Indeed, it should, probably, be the default -- as= it is on the actual RHEL7/CentOS7 systems already. The b) seems outright bizarre -- why? GPL compliance? But everything with a linux-c7-* port on FreeBSD, that has sources publicly available, also has a native FreeBSD port, which downloads those sources (in a format more conven= ient than SRPM too). Why waste so much space -- and bandwidth -- on these? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
