I don't mind downloading a 40M source tarball either, even if it
takes 6 days to compile. That's just my opinion however, and I'm
which reminded me of a concern that I've had.
Is our source tree getting large enough to consider some option
to split the full tree into "architecture subsets." If I just want
the x86 code would it be neat to be able to say:
make archsubset x86
... to produce a tarball of just the x86 code?
(In this case we might even have some subsets of the x86 -- such
as GGI vs. non-GGI).
How much trouble would it be to do that? (I guess you'd have to
have a set of "meta makefiles" that would specify which portions
of the source tree were needed by which source subsets).
