Re: [opensuse] Library policy

The library policy (splitting libs) is generally a good idea but the recent supersplitup is just stupid.

A package itselfs costs something in terms of metadata space and processing time - and I do not see any packages with actual programs that would depend on, say, libtdb0 but not libtalloc1.

Interesting Jan,

Have you posted to the samba list to see what Jerry Carter, Jeremy Allison, et. al. have to say? If your not on the list, I'll be glad to post and get there response. Let me know.
