No, of cause not - I am worried about the package's working principles and their reflection on packaging. This time it's a more or less unimportant language called ruby adding 5MB, next time it's fortran adding another 5MB, sometime in future it could be java adding 20MB and at some point in future could be C# adding 50 MB. All of them. as a side-effects, pulling in packages an individual user has no use for, and which a add additional security risks. So all this more or less a "beware the beginnings/think twice" concern. Ralf -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
