Package: tzdata Version: 2007j-1etch1 Severity: wishlist
Please do not use hard links. Users of (file-)systems without hard link support, e. g. OpenAFS, cannot simply install this package with "aptitude". The benefit of using hard links instad of symbolic links or copies of the same files is quite marginal: # tar xzf data.tar.gz # du -ks usr/ 5756 usr/ # zcat data.tar.gz | star -x -copyhardlinks # du -ks usr/ 7192 usr/ Compared to the - in the case of tzdata quite frequent - hassle of installing a package with hard links, the saved diskspace of about 2,5 Mbyte is almost worth nothing. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.18 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
