The idea behind having %license (and packages actually using it) is that now we have the licenses identified and stored in a way that RPM controls, instead of simply stored the same way that documentation is stored. Making RPM do smarter things with those license files is now entirely within the domain of RPM or perhaps some file triggers or even (ugh) a cron job/timer/whatever. So, want to hardlink those files? Have a package with a file trigger on /usr/share/licenses that runs /usr/sbin/hardlink. Instant space savings, though you still have to spend the inodes. If that's not enough, RPM could probably be taught to do practically anything. - J< _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to legal-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
