seriously, we had this discussion on factory or somewhere else like month/s? ago. i never understood the greed of cpu feature levels for the basic packages to make a system work. other people also wrote about special cpu featuresets being used in libraries and binaries where it would make sense and let various code paths decide there what the cpu would offer etc. thats how i understood it. its not that long ago that opensuse went to the x64 / x86-64 world to begin with.
anyhow, i kind of feel over the past years that this opensuse project is strongly headed down the abandonware path :///// :( so sad _______________________________________________ Hangout mailing list Hangout-at-nylxs.com http://lists.mrbrklyn.com/mailman/listinfo/hangout
