Summary: Review Request: <libtune> - <standard API to access the kernel tunables> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210007 ------- Additional Comments From Nadia.Derbey@xxxxxxxx 2006-11-21 09:44 EST ------- (In reply to comment #14) > * I think the need to have in the spec file the build against different kernels > and releases is not needed. > I agree with you that this makes quite a lot of rpm's when building for the various platforms. But if we keep only the FC6 specific part, we will loose the benefits of the library: it is supposed to ensure portability across kernel releases / distros for what concerns the kernel tunables. To ensure that portability, a 'tunable database' is needed for each supported kernel / distro. Delivering only the FC6 specific part will prevent a client with both the FC5 and FC6 installed on its machines to use the library. One thing that can be done is to deliver all the supported kernel databases in a single sub-package, and all the supported distro databases in a single sub-package. But again, this can be a problem, since somebody downloading the kernel database sub-package may potentially have unneeded data installed on its machine. Actually that's why we have decided to split each sub-package: in order to let a user choose what to download depending on what is installed on its machine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
