Subject: Questioning the withdom of bundling gdb and insight
Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 02:02:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200605162201.33772.mi+mx@aldan.algebra.com> (raw)
I thought, this was discussed already, but the list's archives don't show it.
What is the rationale behind bundling the entire gdb (which, in turn, bundled
libiberty, bfd), the itcl and itk, etc. into one giant tarball?
Why can't these independent trees remain independent? You can even offer them
all on your download site(s), but someone, who already has itk installed and
gdb downloaded need not download the entire 20Mb of insight-6.4.tar.bz2. All
she needs is a 800Kb of gdbtk and libgui tarred together...
No?
Thanks,
-mi
