Subject: Question: v20231111 adds rdfind dependency: why not at ball build time?
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2023 22:53:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231113215300.Fw2CJ%steffen@sdaoden.eu> (raw)

Hello.

I see my Linux distro updating its package, and adding hard
rdfind(1) dependency because that copy-*.sh file uses it (and even
added an error-out if not available).

That made me wonder two times: first of all i like that duplicates
vanish, but that is not "a killer".  People downloaded the ball,
and then they get thrown out because the ball is to be slimmed on
their box.  And then, why is the ball slimmed-down on all those
myriads of user boxes after having been downloaded, instead of
once when the ball is created during release?  That is so strange,
you know?

Thank you for all your effort.  (Not subscribed.)
