Nope, that's not the point to make. We ship tons of stuff you don't always need, but why is this stuff that matters? Is it *that* large? Does it have such heavy otherwise unneeded deps? Also, why would you want to ship tmpfiles without systemd, or systemd without tmpfiles? I don't get what this specific split would accomplish. If you don't want systemd, then why would you want tmpfiles? I mean, nothing would run tmpfiles in regular intervals, hence it wouldn't work. Or is it that you want systemd, but not tmpfiles? Why would that matter? Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Red Hat -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
