It doesn't have to be linear. You could use the good old "binary chop" method, i.e. order your plugins from 1 to N. Remove plugins 1 to N/2 and test. If the problem goes away, restore N/4 to N/2 and repeat. You get the idea (see any basic computer science textbook on binary searching). This will take worst case Log_2(N) tests. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
