Personally I am getting tired of this death of the buildroot by a million
cuts. Could we just 'engineer' the build root to have what we want in it
versus these continual sculptor like cuts to a block of marble to try and
get the inner statue out? Because in around 10-20 more Fedora releases
someone is going to say 'this is a pile of rubble' and start on a new
block.
Do we need a default build root package set at all ?
Can it be the empty set, and then have RPMs specify their full set
of build requires without assuming any defaults ?
"fast death by one big cut" instead of "slow death by a million
cuts",
which will put an end to repeated feature proposals to trim out some
new thing from the build root.
Regards,
Daniel
