Well, over 100MB should be big enough, isn't it? About the users: I
think I was the only one who used it, maybe I should forward this mail
to freewrt-users@, so anybody loving to use ltp day by day can leave
his comment. But for real: this is a fscking package for testing kernel
code. You were reporting yourself that it doesn't build correctly.

So not to get this wrong: the policy you mentioned is really important,
and also useful. For about every package other than this one. ;)
You don't want to use LTP for embedded devices, and you would only use
it if you were a developer yourself. As I am a developer AND could not
make much use of it, I consider it as being needless.

Maybe other opinions?

Greetings, Phil
