That completely misses the point, apart from one about discouarging packaging and contributing to Fedora maintenance. Please assume that I know plenty about alternative packaging systems like Spack, and non-packaging systems like easybuild, which don't address the issue. If I want to rebuild rpms with different CFLAGS, obviously I can. Flatpak is irrelevant, but part of an unfortunate trend. If you advocate a solution, it better be capable of running in a manageable way across many nodes of a potentially non-x86_64 heterogeneous HPC cluster. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
