Would we be moving the other data to this model as well? I note that in F18 we ended up building systemd many many times just to update keymap conversions; it's wasteful in terms of builds and updates for users to be updating all of systemd just to add a new French keymap conversion, or to add a quirk just for some new laptop. The point is, we've done this in the past where we shipped the data with the tools, and we very quickly moved to shipping the data separate - it's cleaner, allows for just updating the data when necessary, and it forces people to keep their API & ABI for accessing it stable. :) Bill -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
