This still implies *we* want to carry around that much space. :)
Seriously, rawhide is already 11GB+, and it will get bigger once
we actually start adding debuginfo packages.
Of course. You need to decide that first. But as another suggestion
(mentioned earlier in this thread), nuke the old binary rpms. Yes, that
*could* mean that you may have src rpms that won't build on any current
version or rawhide system, but we're only talking about a convenience
here. Not a 'must work' kind of thing. Of course, I'm well aware of
the types of people who feel that EVERYTHING must work at all times,
even essentially unreleased code :-).
I think it's great that Red Hat has opened up it's development process
as much as it has and look forward to seeing this community develop.
However, I don't envy the position you guys at Red Hat are in, trying to
make the decisions you must, knowing full well that there are going to
be a few noisy people who complain about anything. I'll try not to be
one of those people ;-).
