I agree. I think having separate program and data rpms is sufficient, as long as the data rpm is noarch. 500MB is huge, but so what? That's wonderful! As far as local mirrors go, speaking as a local mirror maintainer, I have no problem with a 500MB file rpm. I'd rather have that in my local mirror than have all 3 machines with vegastrike on them pull them down individually. Disk is cheap, bandwidth is expensive. At least where I am. And I agree that it needs to stay in rpm. I thought about what the potential consequences of a non-rpm distribution of data files could be. I nearly sent back my breakfast. > CU > thl > > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list > -- novus ordo absurdum -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
