If people are interested in gentoo they'll install gentoo. Sorry, most of the time I do not have spare space for compiling natively package, thus I take a Debian binary CD and install what is inside it. If your are talking about unstable distribuition and how much time/resource is spent for building -jni packages, it is another matter. But for a release or for a security fix having system unusable because compiling is not the gentoo way, it will be a Debian wrong way: figure that you want a tomcat compiled natively, how much time you have to wait before having a working system? Also, how many headers package one have to install for building native interface? Having native package is not a matter of taste: it reduce memory requirement and run faster. Most user should install native packages. If native replication of package is confusing the .so file should be included in package merging the 2 packages (actually lib packages are supposed to be binary). For unstable (do not stress autobuilder and mirrors problem): how does will be managed the needs for missing headers? Does debconf should just stop saying "something go wrong, sorry"? Shortly, I disagree with your idea and with Daniel Bonniot's rationales. Daniele. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
