There was also cases where people were wondering why something worked on one machine and not another which came down to them having installed a devel package on one machine at one point then forgetting about it.
For a while we had a really fun bug where if the machine you were building the release tarballs had systemd headers installed the release would build fine with or without systemd, but if the machine generating the tars didn't have the systemd devel packages the release wouldn't build with systemd. The things we think that most users should have for the best experience should be enabled by default and others disabled, so users should have to pass no flags unless they explicitly don't want something like systemd or they have some use case like embedded where they want some features most people don't use. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
