I disagree in many cases forcing a split into many subpackages proves fruitless because you end up with circular dependencies between the sub-packages, and so you haven't really achieved much. Right now, the OP is trying to put the burden of proof of whether this is beneficial or not on the vtk packager. Providing a patch would provide the basis on which to have a technical discussion. The current discussion is far too hand wavy and nebulous. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
