You're adding binaries, so you're either increasing the size of existing packages or adding alternate packages. The size increase will be there either way; the difference is that with separate packages, not everybody will be downloading all the content (so easier on the mirrors than just bigger packages containing multiple binaries). So if distribution is a concern, separate packages is a plus, not a minus. > And then there's a question of how those packages would be consumed: > firstly, the installer would need to be modified to pick the variant > at installation time, and secondly, such an installation could never > be used with a different CPU, the initial choice would be locked in. It's not like we haven't had this before. Yes, it was annoying, but it wasn't THAT big of an issue. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
