From: Don Zickus on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1975#note_1056132350 Hmm. long ago, creating the linux tarball took a couple of minutes. So if you were constantly running make dist-srpm and friends that couple of minutes got annoying (much like how dist-configs got annoying). Not removing the tarball was a nice optimization trade-off. Though it left the old ones behind. Now for ARK those tarballs are outdated daily. RHEL not so much. Not sure if today's tar/compression is parallelized to speed things up? _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
