I backup by duplicity with: # https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666143 touch /var/lib/prelink/force && time /etc/cron.daily/prelink time rpm -Vva 2>/dev/null|perl -ne 's/^[.]{7}[.T][.] . // or next;chomp;print "- $_\n" if -f;' >$RPMSAFE [...] --exclude-filelist $RPMSAFE \ > So, to summarize, the list of reasons not to use it thus far: If you have so specific reasons the prelink is not appropriate for you sure feel free to disable it. For example it was found on LiveCD images the slight increase of the image size is not worth the better runtime performance. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679880 Thanks, Jan _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
