Having a single source package to multiple binaries is easy. Managing setups where you push only some of those binaries into the system gets really ugly. A pile of git-foo packages works because you almost never push a fix to one tool alone, and if you do its small enough not to be a big deal. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
