Spot, Is this a kosher change? A contributor brought it to Fedora Docs but I can't tell to what extent anyone checked packaging guidelines. No bug was filed and there's no ML traffic about it. Upshot is, using hardlink to save very significant space. I only found this draft, and no sign that it's approved or that the usage below is explicitly forbidden, so I'm assuming it's peachy keen. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/HardLinks Paul ----- Forwarded message from Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ----- Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:12:19 +0000 (UTC) From: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: cvsextras@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, fedora-release-notes-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: rpms/fedora-release-notes/F-11 fedora-release-notes.spec,1.36,1.37 Author: lkundrak Update of /cvs/pkgs/rpms/fedora-release-notes/F-11 In directory cvs1.fedora.phx.redhat.com:/tmp/cvs-serv5352 Modified Files: fedora-release-notes.spec Log Message: * Wed Apr 29 2009 Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@xxxxx> - 10.93.0-2 - Hardlink duplicate files to save space Index: fedora-release-notes.spec =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/pkgs/rpms/fedora-release-notes/F-11/fedora-release-notes.spec,v retrieving revision 1.36 retrieving revision 1.37 diff -u -p -r1.36 -r1.37 --- fedora-release-notes.spec 21 Apr 2009 20:40:12 -0000 1.36 +++ fedora-release-notes.spec 29 Apr 2009 19:11:49 -0000 1.37 @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ Name: fedora-release-notes Version: 10.93.0 -Release: 1%{?dist} +Release: 2%{?dist} Summary: Release Notes for Fedora 11 URL: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ BuildArch: noarch BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils BuildRequires: publican BuildRequires: publican-fedora +BuildRequires: hardlink %if %{HTMLVIEW} Requires: htmlview @@ -148,6 +149,10 @@ install -m 644 about-*omf $RPM_BUILD_ROO install -m 644 -D about-gnome.desktop $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/about-fedora.desktop popd +# There are lot of duplicate files, save space by hardlinking them +hardlink -cv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/doc +hardlink -cv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/gnome + %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT @@ -174,6 +179,9 @@ if [ -x /usr/bin/update-desktop-database %changelog +* Wed Apr 29 2009 Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@xxxxx> - 10.93.0-2 +- Hardlink duplicate files to save space + * Tue Apr 14 2009 John J.
