Ummm... How would you know whether or not building from source would have a noticeable benefit for me? That seems so...nevermind.
I've noticed that sort of thing in a few areas with SUSE. They seem to think they know what you want, better than you do.
Please state examples.
For the record, I have also on occasion built from source, as the binaries weren't available. One of the nice things about Linux has been the way it allows people who know what they're doing to do it. Now it seems some nanny is taking over, to make sure we don't fall down and scrape our knees.
You can still rebuild everything, no one is stopping you. We usually just do it with osc build, rpmbuild or whaetver methods. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
