--- Comment #12 from Mun Kii
sorry, but you're talking nonsense. gcc is by far not the only needed package to compile anything.
actually gcc+make is all i need to compile most of my favourite programs. if i'm going to keep a piece software on my disk, i might as well have its dependencies too, don't you think? and i'm just speaking for myself here.
- we have 30.000 packages in the build service for you to install software
well, that's good, but unless we're half-way between releases many rpm's are either outdated, missing dependencies, badly compiled or only available in 3rd party repos (if at all)
- you need tons of devel stuff in addition to a C-compiler to compile software
as i said, that is easily avoidable, since most users who like to compile their own software are likely to have their dependencies too, they don't really need all the "devel stuff"
- schools in 3rd world countries should download one DVD and setup a NFS/FTP/HTTP server
so they can't afford a fast internet access, but can afford buying a server? i fail to see the logic in that! please reconsider your decision to close this bug. last time i checked gcc and make don't take that much space and can easily be included in the 1-cd media. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
