Who shares binary > packages from AUR ? Anybody can share binary packages that they build off of AUR buildscripts -- that is exactly what we allow by making these flags the default. With local optimization, users end up spending time rebuilding. You may build a bunch of packages and decide to share them from a repo, or you may want help from somebody else with runtime problems that you're having. There is no statistical backing here AFAIK, so if you feel strongly about it, you are welcome to approach the pacman developers in order to reach a new conclusion. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
