Yeah. We have a rule against shipping binary blobs. A binary blob can fairly be defined as a derived file that you lack the source to, or lack the tools to get from the source to the derived file. How is it different if we ship an autotools-derived file that the recipient cannot regenerate from source? Smells like a GPL violation to me. regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
