The following executable files should be turned into symlinks to save space (I've checked that the binary image is the same, which isn't true for /bin/ls vs. /usr/bin/{,v}dir). Most notable is emacs-X11 package, where this saves almost 3 MB! Mirek -------------- ***egcs-1.0.3a-14 /usr/bin/egcs -> /usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-egcs ***emacs-X11-20.3-3 /usr/bin/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-20.3 ***gawk-3.0.3-3 /bin/gawk -> /usr/bin/gawk-3.0.3 ***gzip-1.2.4-12 /bin/gunzip -> /bin/gzip /bin/zcat -> /bin/gzip /usr/bin/zdiff -> /usr/bin/zcat ***ld.so-1.9.5-8 /lib/ld.so -> /lib/ld.so.1.9.5 ***python-1.5.1-5 /usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python1.5
These suggestions have been forwarded to a developer for further consideration.
those are hard links already, that take even less space than symlinks.
